About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF ALMOST ANYTHING.


You never know what's happening on the other side of the wall.

Your neighbour told you that she didn't want your six-month-old daughter at the dinner party. Nothing personal, she just couldn't stand her crying.

Your husband said it would be fine. After all, you only live next door. You'll have the baby monitor and you'll take it in turns to go back every half hour.

Your daughter was sleeping when you checked on her last. But now, as you race up the stairs in your deathly quiet house, your worst fears are realized. She's gone.

You've never had to call the police before. But now they're in your home, and who knows what they'll find there.

What would you be capable of, when pushed past your limit?

Critic Reviews

Shari Lapena furnishes a clever array of motives and suspects. The tension is high and remains to the last, stunning page
'I thought the read-it-in-one-sitting thing was a cliche. Not any more'
‘2016’s most talked-about new thriller’
‘Real men read women writers - because of books like this. Trust me'
‘A twisty, utterly riveting tale that will send readers on a wild rollercoaster ride of emotions. Shocking revelations kept me turning the pages like a madwoman’
Entirely compelling, utterly realistic and told in a wonderfully effective spare narrative. You will not see the twists coming
Provocative and shocking. One crime, an entire neighborhood of suspects, secrets and lies. How well do we ever know those around us? The Couple Next Door will keep you glued to the pages in search of the answer. Even then, you'll never guess the truth...until it's too late
A gripping page-turner
A treat of a thriller that careers along at breakneck page
The Couple Next Doors hits all those thriller sweet spots, with its characters acting in the worst ways possible and a plot that speeds through to a hell of a climax....you can’t not read it this summer.

In between, it got a little stretched but overall it had an engaging storyline. Also, narration was beautiful.

An overall engaging storyline beautifully narrated

Narration and vocals of the narrator are very good. Story in itself is very average. Had the narration been average I would have stopped midway as I could easily guage what the end was.

it's just average. narration is excellent!!

I loved the audio. It was well narrated. The story was kinda predictable. Maybe my expectations were high since I read other books of the same author.

I finished it in 2 days

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Apart from starting and ending chapter nothing is there. just family drama in the middle. easy to guess plot.

Boring

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Probably the most BASIC thriller I ever read. I MEAN I HAVE READ INDIAN Pop-thrillers too. 🤢🤢 What in the name of god was this mess of a book?! The author just got confused and readers hyped it up as 'one with many plot twists.' 😭

Such a predictable piece of work
