The Widow Next Door

Written by L.A. Detwiler

Narrated by Katherine Fenton

A beautiful house. A new beginning. The almost perfect neighbours…

When newlyweds Jane and Alex Clarke move into an idyllic house on the quaint Bristol Lane, they are excited for a new beginning in what will be their ‘forever home’.

And when an elderly neighbour welcomes them, she soon becomes a friend. But she grows a little too interested in the couple next door as she sits watching them, day in, day out, from the rocking chair in her window.

Alex says it will be fine. After all, she’s a lonely widow who just wants some company. But when she invites Jane into her home, who knows what she’ll find there…

A dark and gripping domestic thriller, perfect for fans of Shari Lapena and Paula Hawkins.

Reviews for The Widow Next Door

[Lili · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Don't bother with this book. It's strange, rambling and much too long. I definitely won't recommend it. Not a good story at all and really boring. A single character for 46 chapters. Just too much to handle. And the climax was weak as well.

[Lucille · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was interesting it’s something for deep thinking if you like that
