Alex Marwood s debut novel, "The Wicked Girls," earned her lavish praise from the likes of Stephen King, Laura Lippman, and Erin Kelly, and won the Edgar Award for Best Paperback Original. Now Marwood s back with a brilliant, tightly paced thriller that will keep you up at night and make you ask yourself: just how well do you know your neighbors?
Everyone who lives at 23 Beulah Grove has a secret. If they didn t, they wouldn t be renting rooms in a dodgy old building for cash no credit check, no lease. It s the kind of place you end up when you you ve run out of other options. The six residents mostly keep to themselves, but one unbearably hot summer night, a terrible accident pushes them into an uneasy alliance. What they don t know is that one of them is a killer. He s already chosen his next victim, and he ll do anything to protect his secret."

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The electrifying, addictive thriller from the author of the Edgar-Award winning sensation The Wicked Girls
'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
Praise for Alex Marwood
'So good I wish I'd written it myself'
VAL McDERMID
'Without a doubt, she is one of crime fiction's brightest stars. Not to be missed'

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
