The story of the neighbors 'The Renders' is quite interesting if the story would have been told with more detail as I felt it was only hinted to us what exactly was going on and and what they were to be honest. At some point I kept putting the book down and going 'huh?' In some ways it felt rushed and very vague but not in a good way on their part.

Ellie and her boyfriend, Ash, take a huge step in their relationship when they buy a fixer-upper in the English countryside. Everything seems to be moving forward beautifully until they meet their creepy neighbors and find out a tragedy happened in the house five years earlier that was not disclosed by the realtor. Soon they begin hearing sounds in the house when they are home alone and finding doors open they are sure they closed. When the tragedies of the past start to repeat themselves, Ellie finds herself in grave danger and Ash the prime suspect. Terrible secrets; unimaginable secrets that include the apparently happy family who lived - and tragically died - in Lana and Roman's new home. How well do you know your neighbors? The People Next Door looks at this age-old question as Ellie and her boyfriend Ash move into a charming home in the English countryside. Not long after their arrival, things turn darker than she could have expected. The house is isolating- the friendly man next door and his troubled sister the only people around, and there are secrets hidden seemingly everywhere. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed the performance by Shakira Shute for the most part. Her use of various accents was performed flawlessly. Ash is from Australia and living in England and I enjoyed hearing the inflection in his voice. I found Benjamin’s voice to be highly annoying and pictured myself probably not wanting to engage in conversation with him because of it. I am going to chalk it up to not liking him in the first place, so my subconscious was probably looking for reasons to dislike him more.So many lies, betrayals and cover ups in this novel. How well do you know the people closest to you? There's another point of view that is at first a mystery, but as the story develops we discover who the mysterious narrator is. This was very interesting, as it appears to be telling a different story, but as you read on, the different points of view come together and the mystery is cleared up. I started laughing - - (to myself of course --my husband was sleeping)...when the character, Anne, had a 'cleaning episode' moment.

While I would love to gorge myself on PT, they tend to work better for me if I space them out of bit. Thankfully, I passed on this one when it was first released, taking a slight break from the genre, so I didn’t burn myself out on it. As you can tell from my attitude concerning the first chapter, I definitely needed that space. Dense particles of deception are scattered in every nook and cranny. What you think that you see with your own eyes is not necessarily what you see. I was privileged to listen to the audio version recording, and unequivocally, I highly recommend the audiobook. I fell in love with the narrator Shakira Shute! Extremely talented in her expressions and character voices - completely believable! She definitely has a part in making this good book, great! I would listen to any book she chose to narrate. Great cover and simple yet alluring title which with my love of books dealing with houses and neighbours was a given to intrigue me I thought I was going to enjoy my first foray with Tony Parsons as it began as an intriguing slow burning psychological thriller. I thought secrets would be uncovered, mysteries would be solved...but instead everything ends up a convoluted mess and stretching credibility and believability beyond belief. I know as readers we must often suspend belief...but seriously?Evie and Pete have been together since university and are settled into life," says Eleanor, 31.
