The Mistress Next Door

By: Lesley Sanderson

Narrated by: Eilidh Beaton

I know what you did. You destroyed my life. Now I’m going to take everything from you, starting with your husband. I’m your worst nightmare, and I’m closer than you think.

Moving to Prospect Close has been everything I’d hoped for. In the city, Oliver and I barely saw each other, irritable at home and rushing around after the kids. But here, the neighbors have been so friendly and welcoming, and we’re now at barbeques and playdates every weekend, all together, as a family. It’s the type of life I always dreamed of. One that’s a million miles from...before. Not that Oliver would know anything about that.

But recently Oliver has been behaving strangely–staying out late, working weekends, and absent even when home. I don’t want to question our idyllic life, but when I find a receipt for a hotel room, including champagne, in his coat pocket, what else can I assume other than he’s cheating?

Or could it be even worse than that? What if the past isn’t just haunting me, it’s coming back to destroy me?

Because yesterday I received an anonymous note. One that changes everything. It seems that someone in Prospect Close knows my secret. Someone who’s willing to do whatever it takes to get their revenge, including stealing my husband. Unless I can find them first....

Astonishing, compelling with a jaw-dropping twist, if you love Lisa Jewell, K. L. Slater, and Jackie Kabler, you’ll love The Mistress Next Door.

good read after a lot of duds

Well written, believable, not a lot of mystery but it kept me intrigued. Likeable characters

Couldn't stop listening

This is one of those books that you don't want to put down. Or stop listening to, A great story that keeps you guessing A definite addition to your library 😁

The twist at the end was great!

Loved the Martin Harriett friendship the plot was very suspenseful loved gabby character the whole community

Pleasantly Surprised

I really enjoyed this listen. I thought I figured it all out but was really wrong. This was a listen that I listened to all at once. It’s sad how people can hold a grudge their whole lives over something another couldn’t control. All I can say is in the wrong place, wrong time. Overall I really liked the character Harriett and didn’t think her behavior was wrong. Once someone cheats the trust is broken and will never be the same. It seems that it is inevitable that once a person cheats and can be forgiven it’s just a matter of time before they do it again. I will definitely look for other books by this author in the future.

Good, not great…

Honestly the book was fine, just nothing special. Characters, setting and story were all “oddly out there” , and unrealistic.
