The Psychopath Next Door

De: Mark Edwards

Narrado por: Imogen Church, Nicholas Boulton

In this mesmerising thriller from the bestselling author of Keep Her Secret, a family’s fresh start is just the beginning of their nightmare…

Ethan Dove’s family has moved to a new home in a safe community, and it’s exactly the fresh start they need. Not only is his marriage to Emma hanging by a thread, but his son, Dylan, and twelve-year-old daughter, Rose, deserve to have a happy childhood.

After Rose is bullied by the boys across the road, Ethan is relieved when the woman who lives next door steps in. Fiona Smith has come into their lives at just the right moment, and when she offers to look after Rose during the school holidays, Ethan and Emma can’t believe their luck.

Which is exactly what Fiona wants. Because, far from being the perfect neighbour, Fiona is the last person you should trust with your child. With a vicious plot for revenge, Fiona is happy to train Rose to be her accomplice, especially when she begins to suspect that Rose might not be as innocent as she appears…

The Psychopath Next Door is a gripping and twisted psychological suspense thriller set in the terrifying world of Mark Edwards’s bestselling The Magpies universe.

Edge of my seat!

Thank you Mr. Edwards for such a great read!! Looking to read more from you!

Twists & Turns!

Loved this book! Fast paced, suspenseful and did not expect the ending at all! It was soooo good!

Dark Very Dark

I loved the narrators. I really liked the story even though dark. It was well written

Really learned what a psycopath is

This was an excellent deep character study into what makes a psycopath in that understanding was key here. I really enjoyed this book and it disturbed me.

This had a lot going on…

This was very interesting…the amount of planning and plotting it takes to commit a crime is whew! I don’t even think I would have the energy. It’s like that whole thing that people say about lying…”if you tell one lie you’re gonna have to tell another”…but then you’re also gonna have to remember what the hell you said. That alone sounds too involved and exhausting. Then you have to have the energy to excute. Nah, hard pass for me!!!

Anyway, this was a good psychological thriller. I’m not too mad at the outcome but I will say I agree with the little girl at the end….lol.

the title is 100% accurate

The Psychopath Next Door was my first book by Mark Edwards. I went into this thinking it was a standalone and finding out over half way through that it is part of a series.

I thought this was super thrilling and dark! I really was not expecting where this story was going to go.

This audiobook was done so well! I cannot wait to read the previous books!
