Publisher's summary

Freya loves her new home on a quiet suburban street. And her beautiful neighbor, Emily, is everything she’s ever wanted in a best friend. Finally, she has somebody to share her secrets with over a glass of wine. But as Freya watches her new friend setting the table for dinner one evening, she sees something shocking that makes her think that Emily’s life might not be as perfect as it seems. Days later, Emily and her daughter vanish....

When you meet Emily’s husband, you will think you know what he’s hiding.

You will ask yourself whether Emily and Freya really did meet by chance.

You will think you know what happened to Emily and her little girl the night they went missing.

But when you discover the truth, it will shake you to your core and you will lie awake at night wondering if you can ever really trust the people in the house next door....

Fans of Claire McGowan, Shalini Boland and Lisa Jewell will love the gripping tension and unexpected twists of The New Home. Once you start, you’ll be hooked!

Awful

For something written by a psychologist it's awful. Am I supposed to like the main character? If so then he did a bad job. Parts of it are enduring some over the top therapy sessions.

Freya is all over the place. One minute she's on an internal feminist streak and then the opposite. She stopped working and her husband is a new doctor. She rants about doing laundry and household things while her husband doesn't. Made no sense, that's not conforming to traditional marriage roles. That's, you have nothing to do.

This isn't a spoiler, it happens at the beginning. Where she's pregnant and bleeding. I'm sorry but I wouldn't call the husband a dozen times and then call mother to find out what to do. Who would do that? Her inner dialogue explains things like I'm an idiot.

Out of the 1200 Audible books I have I think this is the new worst listen. At least it was dirt cheap, get what ya pay for.
