The Killer Next Door: An electrifying, addictive thriller you won't be able to put down
Autor Alex Marwooden Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iun 2014
'Scary as hell' Stephen King
No. 23 has a secret. In this bedsit-riddled south London wreck, lorded over by a lecherous landlord, something waits to be discovered. Yet all six residents have something to hide.
Collette and Cher are on the run; Thomas is a reluctant loner; while a gorgeous Iranian asylum seeker and a 'quiet man' nobody sees try to stay hidden. And watching over them all is Vesta - or so she thinks.
In the dead of night, a terrible accident pushes the neighbours into an uneasy alliance. But one of them is a killer, expertly hiding their pastime, all the while closing in on their next victim...
As a cloying heatwave suffocates the city, events build to an electrifying climax in this dark, original and irresistibly compelling thriller, perfect for fans of The Suspect by Fiona Barton and The Rumour by Lesley Kara

Recenzii
If you read Alex Marwood's The Wicked Girls, her new one - The Killer Next Door - is even better. Scary as hell. Great characters
Taut, assured and reminiscent of Ruth Rendell's psychological novels, Marwood's second book more than lives up to the promise shown in her splendid debut, The Wicked Girls
Even better than her debut The Wicked Girls. It's a compulsive, unsettling read that will leave you wondering how well you really know your neighbours
Utterly gripping; Marwood's ability to show the sinister side of everyday life is unparalleled
Both brilliantly dark and dazzlingly funny, this is crime writing at its best
Nasty, compelling and original, the author has done it again with her second novel
A haunting and thrilling read that will have you gripped throughout, The Killer Next Door is a thought-provoking book, that will play on your mind and stay with you for days and will have you looking at your neighbours in a different light!
Echoes of Ruth Rendell (or, indeed, Barbara Vine), although Marwood's writing is grittier
Every bit as gripping as her much-praised debut The Wicked Girls
Engrossing, chilling, and packed with suspense
A clever, beautifully crafted novel that will forever shake your view of bedsit suburbia . . . Disturbing, dark . . . A psychological thriller of the highest order
