Publisher's summary

The perfect neighbours tell the perfect lies…A top ten Kindle bestseller

Behind the shutters lies a devastating secret…

When Helen moves abroad with her loving husband Gary, she can’t wait to meet her fellow expat teachers from the local International School. But her new start is about to become her worst nightmare…

As soon as the charming family across the way welcome Helen into their home, she begins to suspect that all is not as it seems. Then Gary starts to behave strangely and a child goes missing, vanished without a trace.

When violence and tragedy strike, cracks appear in the community, and Helen realises her perfect neighbours are capable of almost anything…

The Perfect Neighbors

Had a slow beginning, taking a while to get into the characters, but once in, a very good story with a twist to the ending. I enjoyed it. The narration was good.
