Someone We Know

An anonymous note turns up at several houses on a quiet, leafy suburban street. The writer apologises: their son has been getting into people's homes, and yours was one of them. Nobody knows who the boy is, or what he found while he was inside, and the polite neighbourly calm soon curdles into whispers and suspicion. Then a local woman who had gone missing is found murdered.

Shari Lapena, the bestselling author of The Couple Next Door, builds her whodunnit from ordinary streets and the secrets kept behind their front doors, steadily tightening the question of how far very nice people will go to protect themselves. A tense domestic thriller for anyone who has ever wondered what the neighbours are really like, and how little they would want you to know.
