How well do you know the people next door...?

Everybody wants to live on Hogarth Street, the pretty, tree-lined avenue with its white houses. The new family are a perfect fit. Katherine and John West seem so in love, with their adorable five-year-old twins.

But why don't they join backyard barbecues? Why do they brush away offers to babysit? Why, when you knock at the door, do they shut you out, rather than inviting you in?

On the hottest day of the year, a tragedy unfolds behind closed doors. The dawn chorus is split by the wail of sirens. And the families who tried so hard to welcome the Wests realise: Hogarth Street will never be the same again.

A completely gripping, twist-packed psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Sally Hepworth and Lisa Jewell.

About the Author

Nicole Trope went to university to study Law but realised the error of her ways when she did very badly on her first law essay because, as her professor pointed out, 'It's not meant to be a story.'

She studied teaching instead and used her holidays to work on her writing career and complete a Masters' degree. In between raising three children, working for her husband and renovating houses, she has published six novels. She lives in Sydney, Australia.
