The Girl Across the Street

De: Vikki Patis

Narrado por: Jasmine Blackborow

You’re hiding a secret that only she can see.

Her name is Beth. She came into my life when I needed her the most. We lead very different lives, but she’s the only person who understands me.

She was the only other witness to the terrible accident on the street between our homes - the only person who saw the cracks in my perfect life before I had the chance to cover them up.

It’s been so long since I’ve had a friend...someone to talk to, to listen to, to laugh and dream with.

Beth would never do anything to hurt me. She only wants what’s best for me, for my marriage. Doesn’t she?

A pause-resisting psychological suspense thriller. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and The Couple Next Door.

Suspenseful

Very well written and kept you guessing! Looking forward to more books by the author.

Why no self defense? :: Possible Spoiler::

I'm a bit tired of reading books set in the UK where someone defends themselves or a loved one and still go to prison. I'm giving this book only 3 stars even though it was very engaging entertaining because either the author didn't research the legal part or I'm just plain mad at the entire system if it's true. Abd please can wet have a strong woman who actually defend herself gets away and leads a happy life?

Neither psychological nor a thriller

You won’t quite know everything in the first few pages, but you’ll have a pretty good idea. This is a story in which nothing happens besides the opening and ending. There is zero suspense.

Forgettable at best. Stay away

Not for me

Nothing about this book feels like “suspense” to me. The narrator was fine, but the book was dull. The people’s reasons for doing the thingsthey do don’t really make sense. The “big reveal” was pretty pitiful and pretty obvious. It was pretty clear what was going on almost from the very beginning. I just really cannot recommend this book.

all over the place

This book seems like it should be enthralling but rather, it is all over the place. Efforts to create character depth by weaving parallel stories from the past are very weak and irrelevant and more so than not, confusing. I tried to make sense of some very specific details or details that were repeated but it almost always came out to nothing, or again, just irrelevant. There was a lot of potential but the execution and organization were weak.
