The Heights

Written by Louise Candlish

Narrated by Louise Candlish, Genevieve Gaunt and Milo Twomey

“Impossible to resist, impossible to predict, impossible to put down…this is an author at the top of her game.” —Erin Kelly, author of Watch Her Fall

The author of the “masterfully plotted, compulsive page-turner” (The Guardian) Our House takes you on a haunting and nail-biting journey of tragedy and revenge.

The Heights is a tall, slender apartment building among warehouses in London. Its roof terrace is so discreet, you wouldn’t know it existed if you weren’t standing at the window of the flat directly opposite. But you are. And that’s when you see a man up there—a man you’d recognize anywhere. He may be older now, but it’s definitely him.

But that can’t be because he’s been dead for over two years. You know this for a fact.

Because you’re the one who killed him.

With Louise Candlish’s signature dark and twisty prose, The Heights shows “the ferocity of maternal love” (Hannah Beckerman, author of If Only I Could Tell You). “This cleverly constructed novel will keep readers enthralled until the last page” (Publishers Weekly, starred).

Reviews for The Heights

[Meghan Laue · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Slept on secret page turner. Definitely recommend!

[Teesha Fogelsanger · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This book overall is very good. I found it hard to follow a few times but that could also be because I was trying to work at the same time. Definitely makes you think especially if you have teenagers like I do.

[Pamela Stewart · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I do a lot of suspense novels in this one really kept me on the edge of my seat. Not only was the story compelling but the narration was superb. Highly recommend in this genre!

[Karen Horde · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The story was great and the format was creative. It just took so long to get there. I found myself waiting for something to happen.

[Patricia S · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The most powerful thing about the book was the absolute devastating, grief and hatred that came through. The emotions were really realistic and devastating. The performers were excellent! And the storyline was twisted, entertaining, and tragic.

Amazing book. If you are even considering listening to it or reading it, just do it! Incredible!
