Resumen del Editor

"The buzz...is real. I've read it and was blown away. It's a true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets to the very end." (Stephen King)

Catriona Ward's The Last House on Needless Street is a shocking and immersive listen perfect for fans of Gone Girl and The Haunting of Hill House.

“The new face of literary dark fiction.” (Sarah Pinborough, New York Times best-selling author of Behind Her Eyes)

In a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge of the wild Washington woods lives a family of three.

A teenage girl who isn’t allowed outside, not after last time.

A man who drinks alone in front of his TV, trying to ignore the gaps in his memory.

And a house cat who loves napping and reading the Bible.

An unspeakable secret binds them together, but when a new neighbor moves in next door, what is buried out among the birch trees may come back to haunt them all.

“A chilling and beautiful masterpiece of suspense.” (Joe Hill, New York Times best-selling author of NOS4A2)

“The buzz building around Catriona Ward's The Last House on Needless Street is real. I've read it and was blown away. It's a true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets to the very end. Haven't read anything this exciting since Gone Girl.” —Stephen King

Not What I Was Expecting…It Surpassed

Not many books can grab me from the beginning and have such a tight grip on me until the end…The Last House on Needless Street Dior just that. And did it easily. Ted was a character you loved to hate and then hated not to love. I learned so much while reading this book and found out a lot more about the struggles and suffering others can endure but intimately survive. This was a thriller in every sense of the word but it was also an awakening. I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves a great ending. Well done Catriona Ward! ☺️📖⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow! What a great book. Amazing narration!!!

I said it all in the title… but I’ll say it again: this is a fantastic book with an incredible narrator. The first time his voice switched characters, I mused, “Huh, I didn’t know this was a full-cast production…” then I realized it WASN’T, and was extremely impressed. Even if the book hadn’t been super interesting and mysterious (which it is!), I would have listened to the end just for the amazing narration. Highly recommended.

great listen

took me a little while to get used to the narration but it ended up working really well and was a great story line with a great twists at the end.

What…

I won’t say it was a bad book but it wasn’t what I was expecting. I found it confusing mostly up until the end. Maybe it was just me. The narrator was good.

Real good

Great story,you won’t see it coming when it’s all revealed.Only bad thing is the lady that narrates the cat voice.The meowing noises are dreadful.Original,well written story

beautifully written and preformed

this book blew my mind several times. this is a beautiful and tender portrayal of what the mind will do to survive.

bizarre

This is such a strange story. Sometimes I would think, I'm not going to finish this book and then all of a sudden I would find myself unable to stop thinking about the story. I am glad that I finished. it was bot like anything I have ever read before. Bizarre but beautiful.

Wow

I’m a lover of thrillers. Having listened to and read many, I can say that this is by far the most unpredictable and chilling books I’ve ever come across. Just when you think you have a grasp on the story, the author throws in well orchestrated twists after twists. Highly recommend!

Unlike anything I’ve read before

I read a lot and I listen to a lot of audiobooks. Mysteries/thrillers are my favorite so the reviews piqued my interest on this title by an author I’ve never read before. I am completely happy I chose to dive into this one. It’s captivating, sad, shocking, and thoroughly well written. Highly recommend!

Interesting Story, Not Horror

I enjoyed this book and was drawn to it be reviews claiming it was a horror book. I did not find anything scary in it. I would categorize it as a mystery/suspense book.

If you’re looking for scares, you won’t find it here. But you will find an interesting story with unique characters.
