“A darkly funny tale with a gloriously sinister twist.” —The Observer (London)
The bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep delivers a “compellingly creepy” (The Guardian, UK) novel filled with unexpected twists about mysterious murders in a quiet neighborhood.
Linda has lived in a quiet neighborhood since fleeing the dark events of her childhood in Wales. Now she sits in her kitchen, wondering if this is all there is: pushing the vacuum around and cooking fish sticks for dinner, a far cry from the glamorous lifestyle she sees in the glossy magazines coming through the mail slot addressed to the previous occupant, Rebecca Finch.
Linda’s husband Terry isn’t perfect—he picks his teeth, tracks dirt through the house, and spends most of his time in front of the TV. But that seems fairly normal—until he starts keeping odd hours at work, at around the same time young women start to go missing.
If only Linda could track down and befriend Rebecca, maybe some of that enviable lifestyle would rub off on her and she wouldn’t have to worry about what Terry is up to. But in this “sublimely structured and darkly witty” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) tale, the grass isn’t always greener and you can’t change who you really are. And some secrets can’t stay buried forever…

An autistic person is far more than these traits, in exactly the same way that allistic people are much more than their social ease or lack of preference for routine or enjoyment of hugging and other forms of physical contact. In other words, none of us is merely a stereotype and it is lazy writing that creates a character who is nothing more than that.
That said, the protagonist in this story is a very tiresome person and since we spend all of our time in her head and privy to her thoughts, which are predominately used to display her "quirks," the book becomes boring pretty quickly. I got two hours in and couldn't take any more. Cannot recommend this one.
May we please have quirky characters with depth?
