About this listen
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.

They do say, ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold’!
As Fiona Smith settles into her new home, it doesn't take her long to befriend her next door neighbours. With a fragile marriage, Ethan and Emma appear to be walking around each other on eggshells, leaving a large gap for Fiona to fill. As the reader learns more about Fiona’s past and just how far she will go for revenge, nothing can prepare you for the rollercoaster ride Edwards takes you.
Expect twists and turns galore. It's a little too silly for my liking, but it's an easy read.

Improbable plot
I didn’t enjoy this listen very much. Improbable with some clunky plot shifts. A pretty gruesome ending also. Felt that they took things too far.

I loved how it all came together, such a good story and kept me interested throughout! I was so eager to finish it I’m sad I have! Possibly read again!

OTT voices of characters
I gave up about 90mins in as couldn't focus on the story due to the ridulous character voices. I found them very distracting - particularly Fiona, but also other characters that sounded like bad comedic caricatures. I may go back to the book another time and read it, but can't listen to the audio book.

riveting, gripping, thrilling book.
My first audible purchase so I wanted a good experience so not to put me off from future purchases and I wasn't disappointed.
Great story and good performances from the people narrating.
I was worried it could have been cringey but it absolutely wasn't.
looking for my next book to listen to now. 😄
