About this listen

A completely gripping and nail-biting psychological thriller

‘Something terrible happened to the couple who lived here before…’ My hands shake as I read the warning note I’ve just found hidden in a forgotten corner of my brand new house. My husband told me we’d be the first people to live here. Did he lie?

Moving to this gorgeous house was meant to be a new start for our family. My hand rests on my growing baby bump as I walk through our home, the smell of fresh paint in the air, but my heart no longer feels full of hope for the future.

My husband Christian wraps his strong arms around me and tells me to forget the note; he wants this to be the perfect home for us. But as I look into his blue-grey eyes, I wonder if there’s something he’s keeping from me or if I’m just being paranoid.

Was there a couple who lived here before? And what happened to them?

I try to forget my worries like Christian asked, but then I see something in our next-door neighbour’s garden that I can’t ignore. I know I need to find out the truth if I’m ever going to feel safe again.

Except when I overhear Christian revealing a secret on the phone, I start to question: do I even know the man I married?

As I get closer to the truth of what happened to the couple before us, I realise one thing: I should have run when I had the chance…

Number 1 bestselling author Daniel Hurst is the king of utterly addictive psychological thrillers. The Couple Before Us is a completely gripping, pulse-pounding, keep-you-up-until-3am listen perfect for fans of T.M. Logan, Freida McFadden and Lisa Jewell.

Marrying Daniel Hurst's words and Clare Corbett's narration is a recipe for brilliance, and they didn't disappoint.

When Dioanne, Christian, and their five-year-old son, Kai, move into their brand-new home, she can't wait to meet the neighbours on this new build estate.

Whilst in the garden, Dioanne hears her neighbour crying, feeling concerned about her well-being, she tries to communicate with her but is ignored. Having already found an anonymous note in the wardrobe, she starts to think that maybe this isn't 'her dream home'.

This book is packed with surprises, relatable characters, plus a few jaw-dropping moments.

A definite 5/5.

Gripping from beginning to end.
