About this listen

A number one best seller, perfect for fans of Her by Harriet Lane and In a Dark Dark Wood by Ruth Ware.

Two suburban women. Two dark secrets. The almost perfect murder.

Everybody needs good neighbours....

Melissa and Hester have lived next door to each other for years. When Melissa's daughter was younger, Hester was almost like a grandmother to her. But recently they haven't been so close.

Hester has plans to change all that. It's obvious to her that despite Melissa's outwardly glamorous and successful life, she needs Hester's help.

But taking help from Hester might not be such a good idea for a woman with as many secrets as Melissa.

Critic reviews

"Gripped me from the start: Cass Green sensitively imagines your worst nightmare next door - a truly psychological thriller." (Claire Seeber)
"A creepy psychological exploration of the power of secrets to destroy your life." ( Psychologies)
" The Girl on the Train meets Notes on a Scandal. I read it one sitting, totally gripped." (Erin Kelly)
"Twisty, tense and with a truly odious villain." (Eva Dolan)
" The Woman Next Door had me gripped from first page to last - completely under the spell of prim yet twisted narrator Hester, a pensioner with an exhilaratingly pitch-black heart of darkness beneath her twinset and pearls." (Ruth Ware, author of In a Dark Dark Wood)
"I couldn't put it down. It gripped me from the first page. The best psychological thriller I've read all year." (Suzy Greaves, editor, Psychologies)
"Cass Green storms onto the crime scene with this classic and compelling psychological thriller - Hester is a gloriously dark character who held me in her grip from the first page to the last." (Ava Marsh, author of Untouchable)

Any additional comments?

What a fabulous thriller. Starts slowly and gently, but after a few chapters it just becomes increasingly gripping and thrilling in the way of sending shivers down the spine. It's an unusual story too, and so unpredictable. This is always a joy when so many books, even most best sellers, are formulaic. It's extrememly well written, with richly drawn characters and a story that repeatedly surprised me. I love it when a find a new excellent author, and it looks like I have found one in Cass Green.

Fabulously thrilling!

Was intrigued and gripped by this book, and really did enjoy it up until the last hour, when I found that things deteriorated. The ending was flat and quite poor and a huge disappointment to the rest of the book where I felt the tension and mystery built so nicely. Such a shame as it was well written and believable ( with great performances by the narrators) up until that point. Sad that it finished so poorly.

Disappointing ending

This is the second book of this author I have listened to in a week. Not my usual genre but loved every word and gripped me from the first sentence. Hope there will be more from this author . If so please keep the narrator's as they brought this story to life.

Fabulous

This book was really well Structured, I found it Hard to Sleep
It Kept me interested,Which I use as a measure,it was that good I had to listen to an older book to nod off,The Characters were Very well observed.
I don’t want to put any spoilers in, they were definitely relatable.The
Performance was Faultless it was kind of like Polar Opposites and delved deep into their belief systems in an amusing some times tragic but often humorous way, I just did a 4 Hour binge.So I recommend this book Great Story and excellent performance.
I don’t think One could be disappointed with it .

Binge Worthy !
