How much do you know about the couple next door?

When Emily and Ben move in next door to Dr. Burman and his wife Anita, they are keen to get to know their new neighbors. Outgoing and sociable, Emily tries to befriend the doctors wife, but Anita is strangely subdued, barely leaving the house, and terrified of answering the phone.

When Emily goes missing a few weeks later, Ben is plunged into a panic. His wife has left him a note, but can she really have abandoned him for another man? Or has Emilys curiosity about the couple next door led her straight into danger?

A gripping, sinister thriller with a twist you wont see coming from the international bestseller Lisa Stone.

Cruel Excuse to Shock. Distasteful to the Point of Vomit Inducement

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 15 luglio 2019

Acquisto verificato

What a bizarre and warped plot idea. Not only is there child neglect/abuse and domestic violence/abuse, there’s also a demented excuse for a human being who uses people’s pets to experiment on.
This individual, Dr Amit Burman, belongs to a group whose ultimate objective is to achieve immortality- to be frozen, soon after death and brought back to life years later when progress has been made to cure illness and disease. To this end Burman uses pets to practice on with the intention of moving onto humans as his experiments progress.
The fact that the whole book involves cruelty towards a severely disabled, deformed child and the author expects readers to enjoy this is unbelievable and frankly insulting. That’s aside from the physical abuse metered out by the crackpot, Burman, on his wife.
I’m astounded that anyone could find the storyline appealing. As well as being utterly distasteful, the plot just goes on and on and on and on........I got to halfway and couldn’t believe that there was another half of this drivel to plough through.
The book is chilling but only as a reminder that some people can only achieve by sensationalism and shock.
Garbage. Very bad idea and boring to the point of inducing sleep- that’s after you’ve thrown up.

this is not a crime thriller!

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 1 agosto 2019

Really sorry, but describing this as a crime thriller is way off the mark. It's a piece of nonsense about a doctor who has decided to investigate the possibility of cryogenically freezing his terminally ill wife. The dialogue is wooden, actions are over explained and the whole premise is ridiculous.
However, this is not the worst thing about this book. There are some nasty bits of domestic violence and abuse, along with detailed descriptions of animals being killed. None of which are necessary to advance the (threadbare) plot.
I gave up reading this at 32% when the vile protagonist was attempting to steal a patient from a hospital to practice his technique - it was so far-fetched that I just couldn't go on.
I was amazed that the author was described as an "international bestseller", so I did some research. This led me to discover that she has written a lot of books under a different name, and on completely different subject matter. If that is where the "international bestseller" tag comes from, then it in disingenuous to say the least.
Honestly, don't bother. You'd get more out of reading the ingredients list on a cereal packet.

Preposterous, bland & unrealistic

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 3 agosto 2019

Acquisto verificato

Ben & Emily are a young couple with a new son, Robbie, Emily at home on extended maternity leave. She’s keen to get to know their neighbours, Dr Burman and his wife Alisha but Alisha is strangely subdued, barely leaving the house, and terrified of answering the phone. When Emily goes missing a few weeks later, Ben is plunged into a panic because his wife has left a note saying she’s run off with another man (having endured this, I wish that’s what she had done). Has Emily’s curiosity about the couple next door led her straight into danger?
This utterly preposterous novel parts company with any sense of realism very early on and never bothers to try and close the gap. Characterisation is basic at best - we know just what we need to move a scene along - and any sense of suspense is quickly wiped out by dialogue that is perfunctory, if not humorous, making everyone sound like they’re characters in some long-forgotten sit-com. Mostly taking place in two houses and an outhouse converted into a functional medical laboratory (yes, you read that correctly), this doesn’t have any sense of place and even when another key location is introduced, it completely ignores security procedures most of us are very familiar with. The Doctor of the title is an anaesthetist because his parents wanted him to go into the medical profession but he had neither the skill nor dedication to train and that role, apparently, is the lowest rung of the professional ladder (I can’t imagine this is going to get a recommendation from the British Anaesthesia Association). This, however, doesn’t stop him (and I’m not giving away spoilers, this is discussed openly within the first handful of chapters) from not only discovering a medical procedure that has defied doctors and scientists for centuries but also performing organ transplants in his shed. To be fair, his character did at least bring some levity to the dreary writing, since one of his eyes glows (no idea how that works) and at one point he “grins fiendishly” - I wish he’d had a moustache, he could have theatrically twirled the ends of it at that point. Please don’t get the impression that this is a harkback to the pulpy novels of the 70s - or any fun at all, really - because it takes itself far too seriously for that (see the book club questions at the end) and the less said about the “twist you won’t see coming” promised on the blurb the better - if you didn’t see it coming, you hadn’t wasted a few hours reading to get to that point.
Bland, unlikely, extremely unrealistic and populated by cardboard characters who forget what they’ve told each other within pages (don’t worry, they recap one another often), it’s difficult to know how anyone could recommend this. I certainly won’t.

Don’t bother...

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 12 agosto 2019

I liked the idea of this book. New neighbours and never quite what goes on behind closed doors meant plenty of opportunity for suspense. Sadly, this was not the case, most of the plot was frankly unbelievable to the point of being absurd. The relationship between the two wives felt far too staged and the devolving of the doctor was laughable. I finished the book because I can’t leave a story unfinished, but I skimmed the last hundred pages just to get to the end. Save yourself a few hours and don’t bother with this book. I’d have given it no stars if possible. Utter tripe.

Won't be buying any more

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 23 luglio 2019

Your mileage may vary but I found it hard to like anything about this book. Flat, uninspired prose and flat characters. When I buy books I often pick a 99p extra - occasionally you get something awesome, more often you get something ok but still worth the time - this didn't fall anywhere near either. To be fair the plots not awful and the pace makes it bearable but I didn't find this a thriller. Tried. Not for me.
