Our Review

Nina and Conrad Best moved into their new home in Willow Close and straight into the middle of a nightmare scenario. The body of a young girl is discovered in the park nearby brutally murdered and now everybody is a suspect. 

The couple soon discover that most of their neighbours are quite unpleasant and have something to hide. One by one the façade of ordinary lives behind each door falls away and the investigation shines the spotlight on them and unearths secrets that they would prefer to stay hidden. Soon they all begin to suspect each other and then nobody is safe.

I needed to concentrate at the beginning as the neighbours were introduced house by house as there were quite a few of them but once I got used to who was who then I was able to get lost in the plot as the tension increased.  

The ending was very thought provoking and unsettling and quite heart breaking as the life stories of some of the characters were revealed.
