Synopsis

'Hi,' she says, 'I'm your new neighbour.' She seems friendly. But soon I'll discover her dangerous secret...

On the first day I meet my new neighbour, we share a glass of wine and talk into the night. But as I get closer to her, I discover she isn't who I thought she was.

Then when I step into her home, my jaw drops. Everything in here is identical to my own flat - every cushion, every picture on the wall.

Except for the knife, covered in blood. My heart pounds in my chest. What has she done?

I should never have got close to her. I need to run. Then I hear a creak outside the door. And I realise, it may be too late...

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller from multi-million-copy, bestselling author JD Kirk. This book will have you flipping the pages until the final jaw-dropping twist! For anyone who loves Freida McFadden, John Marrs and T.M. Logan.
