FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF OUR HOUSE, WINNER OF THE CRIME & THRILLER BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD ´A clever, enjoyable follow up to Our House ... scarily plausible´ Alison Flood, Observer ´Guaranteed to have you vibrating with impotent fury ... a carefully crafted psychological thriller´ Laura Wilson, Guardian ´Prepare to be gripped; Those People is nail-bitingly tense from the first page to the last. Louise Candlish shows us the dark side of suburbia - and of ourselves´ Erin Kelly `Sharp satire and a plot that builds to a roiling boil with a couple of oh-so-clever final twists in close succession: Louise Candlish is one very clever writer´ Sarah Vaughan `Twists aplenty, and such wonderful observation - I loved it´ Clare Mackintosh ´An addictive, twisty page-turner about the neighbours from hell that will give you nightmares about the suburban dream´ Alice Feeney MEET THE NEIGHBOURS YOU´LL LOVE TO HATE Until Darren and Jodie move in, Lowland Way is a suburban paradise. Beautiful homes. Friendly neighbours. Kids playing out in the street. But Darren and Jodie don´t follow the rules and soon disputes over loud music and parking rights escalate to threats of violence. Then, early one Sunday, a horrific crime shocks the street. As the police go house-to-house, the residents close ranks and everyone´s story is the same: They did it. But there´s a problem. The police don´t agree. And the door they´re knocking on next is yours. Further praise for Those People: ´Candlish shows us, through multiple points of view, how Booth´s boorish presence causes sleep-deprived couples to bicker hatefully and grown siblings to become enraged with one another, until the whole community seems to turn on itself - with fatal consequences´ Wall Street Journal ´A smart and twisty tale about a murder in a seemingly idyllic neighbourhood. Oozing with scandal, it´s a compelling read´ Woman & Home ´A devilishly good thriller about smug middle class house price obsession with a wicked ending. Loved it´ Laura Kemp ´Utterly gripping´ RED ´Lowland Way is a sought-after place to live, with friendly neighbours and real community spirit, that is until the Booths move in. The other residents are up in arms, but how far will they take things to restore their peace? A read that will make you rejoice for nice neighbours!´ Prima ´Louise Candlish captures the mores of middle-class life and our worst, curtain-twitching tendencies like no one else´ RED, online ´Full of marvellously toxic characters´ Best ´Candlish has a keen, satirical eye for social hypocrisy, and she skilfully explores the tensions that the situation exposes in her entitled, privileged characters with compassion and nuance. An unsettling, darkly funny, artfully composed novel about the way we live now´ Irish Times
