About this listen

In this mesmerising thriller from the bestselling author of Keep Her Secret, a family’s fresh start is just the beginning of their nightmare…

Ethan Dove’s family has moved to a new home in a safe community, and it’s exactly the fresh start they need. Not only is his marriage to Emma hanging by a thread, but his son, Dylan, and twelve-year-old daughter, Rose, deserve to have a happy childhood.

After Rose is bullied by the boys across the road, Ethan is relieved when the woman who lives next door steps in. Fiona Smith has come into their lives at just the right moment, and when she offers to look after Rose during the school holidays, Ethan and Emma can’t believe their luck.

Which is exactly what Fiona wants. Because, far from being the perfect neighbour, Fiona is the last person you should trust with your child. With a vicious plot for revenge, Fiona is happy to train Rose to be her accomplice, especially when she begins to suspect that Rose might not be as innocent as she appears…

The Psychopath Next Door is a gripping and twisted psychological suspense thriller set in the terrifying world of Mark Edwards’s bestselling The Magpies universe.

the title is 100% accurate

The Psychopath Next Door was my first book by Mark Edwards. I went into this thinking it was a standalone and finding out over half way through that it is part of a series.

I thought this was super thrilling and dark! I really was not expecting where this story was going to go.

This audiobook was done so well! I cannot wait to read the previous books!

It's ok

I've read several Mark Edwards books and have liked some much more than others. He's fun for an easy, fast read with decent twists and turns. This one is ok, not great. Narration was great.

WOW!

This book just grabs you and never lets go! Ethan and his family move into a new home and meet the new neighbor. What they don’t know is that the neighbor is an ex-con…who is a true psychopath! The story slowly
builds but doesn’t drag. Wonderful story!

Wow!!

I was on the edge of my seat the entire book. What a good story about extreme mental health disorders. I loved the Nod to the magpies series. He tied that in perfectly!

The storyline was intriguing and not like anything else I’ve read/listened to

I finished this audiobook in 1.5 days. The twists and turns had me hanging on every word. Bravo Mark Edwards, bravo! I can’t wait to listen to more!

This is a must-read!

This book was sinister on so many levels, and it was difficult having to put down the couple of times that I had to. Emma and Ethan are so focused on their own problems that they aren't quite paying attention to their own children. Allowing a brand new neighbor; Fiona, much like themselves, to watch their youngest, Rose, during the week to save money was wild. Their oldest, Dylan, who is fairly responsible, is the first to notice something's not right about Fiona. The entire family, since earlier in childhood, noticed something wasn't right about Rose but chose to ignore their instincts. Now, spending most of her summer days with a psychopathic neighbor, Rose's true nature starts to show itself more and more, as she aids Fiona in exacting her revenge on those behind sending her to jail. Two psychopaths in one neighborhood. What could possibly go wrong?
