Home Is Where the Lies Live: An utterly addictive psychological thriller with an explosive twist

By Kerry Wilkinson

Even the most perfect home can hide shocking secrets. But on this peaceful street, is one of them dangerous enough to kill for?

Young married couple Heidi and Freddie just moved to Huntington Grove. All the neighbours see they are friendly and polite but why is one door in their house always locked?

Across the street, Willow tries not to argue with her teenage daughter - even as her marriage is falling apart. And where does her husband really go each night, leaving the bed beside her cold?

Feeling lonely, she always waves hello to single dad Dylan next door. His wife died in a tragic murder. The culprit was never found. It's no surprise there are rumours he was involved...

On a beautiful sunny day, it's time for the whole street to gather for a summer party. Everyone plasters on a fake smile. But soon the picnic tables will be overturned, sirens will blare - and one of the residents will be marched away in police handcuffs.

Everyone at the party will be questioned. But everyone will lie...And with every household hiding something, who has a secret big enough to kill for?

An absolutely addictive psychological thriller that proves you can never really know what goes on behind closed doors. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Shari Lapena and The Perfect Marriage.

Customer Reviews

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Wow, that was a lot that happened just when Heidi and Freddie moved in! They definitely were the match that lit the powder keg of that new neighborhood! Starting off with a glimpse of what happened during the party got me hooked very well. And interspersing the chapters with police interviews gathering witness statements helped keep me thinking of what the heck could have happened! Yes, I know every neighbor around will have their secrets whether it is troublesome teens, drinking problems, lying, cheating, or even worse, though it doesn't usually get aired out at a neighborhood party. This story kept me on the edge of my seat as things got revealed and secrets told and while everyone was guilty of something, I got to really hoping that it wasn't certain people whose secrets and hurts were heartbreaking and not too dangerous. This was a great thriller told from the viewpoints of Heidi, Willow and Dylan combining into a story that raced by but still got you caring for the folks that live in the neighborhood (even if some of them have odd proclivities and habits). Plus the narrators did a good job of being the different characters and it was easy to tell whose viewpoint it was for the chapter and kept the story going till it reached the explosive ending! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to listen to this audiobook!
