Those People

Written by Louise Candlish

Narrated by Tuppence Middleton

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF OUR HOUSE, WINNER OF THE CRIME amp; THRILLER BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD

Until Darren and Jodie move in, Lowland Way is a suburban paradise. Beautiful homes. Friendly neighbours. Kids playing out in the street. But Darren and Jodie don't follow the rules and soon disputes over loud music and parking rights escalate to threats of violence. Then, early one Sunday, a horrific crime shocks the street. As the police go house-to-house, the residents close ranks and everyone's story is the same: They did it. But there's a problem. The police don't agree. And the door they're knocking on next is yours.

'Candlish is a master at peeling away the veneer of middle-class respectability, and utterly nails the trials of living cheek-by-jowl with awful neighbours. You'll be asking yourself, “How far would I go?”' HEAT

Reviews for Those People

[Sam · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

If you need an uncomplicated read after a long week, this will do. It was a decent story. Nothing spectacular. Nothing horribly wrong. It was simply a decent story about neighbors who don't like the people who just moved into their road.

[Kerry Watts · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Not as good as I thought it was going to be but I kept listening hoping it would get better. I was a bit confused by all the characters at times and ending wasn't great but the narrator was extremely good. She carried the story.
