‘The perfect holiday read – there's so much mystery and intrigue – it kept me turning the pages right to the last one. I loved it – her best one yet’ Ali Harper

‘A dark and gripping psychological thriller with hints of Barbara Vine at her best. Sargeant is a dangerously talented writer. She keeps you guessing until the final pages’ Michael Wood

‘A tightly plotted thriller that swept me along and kept me guessing all the way to the end’ June Taylor

A tense and claustrophobic page-turner … wonderfully convincing … a dark and gripping tale’ Clare Chase

Praise for Rachel Sargeant:

‘Dark, claustrophobic and suffused with a creeping sense of menace, The Perfect Neighbours builds to a shocking climax. I thoroughly enjoyed it’ Alex Lake, bestselling author of After Anna

‘An escalating sense of foreboding … Sargeant certainly makes the plot twists almost impossible to second guess, but for the merest passing details, keeping the reader turning the page’ Lincolnshire Life

‘An original, gripping thriller that is both unnerving and shocking in equal measure. I was immediately drawn into the strange, claustrophobic neighbourhood and Rachel Sargeant creates a thrilling sense of foreboding throughout’ Phoebe Morgan, author of The Doll House

On the Fence...

This is the first book that I havent been able to decide if it was good or bad! I usually either love a book and get totally drawn in or hate it and return it.
The characters were all identifiable from the start, so no confusion. When some books have multiple characters telling their stories, I end up losing track and have no idea who is who. I could relate to the characters and they were mainly all likeable.
Story on the whole was quite good and started off good, however it became
very far fetched and silly by the end which was disappointing. What could have been something good, became annoying in places.
Great narration with 2 of my favourite narrators.
