The Couple Upstairs

An Addictive Psychological Thriller with a Gripping Twist

By: Shalini Boland

Narrated by: Katie Villa

I should never have become friends with the couple upstairs....

The first time I step inside this cosy apartment with its sash windows, just minutes from the sea, I think it would be the perfect place for me and my partner Zac to start again. A chance to leave our troubled past behind.

Chris and Vanessa, the couple upstairs, are so welcoming: smiles, flowers, a home-baked cake. It’s strange how he does all the talking, and she seems so shy, but I’m just thrilled to have new friends nearby.

But everything starts to go wrong...my business begins to crumble, I can’t ignore the whispers at our housewarming party and loud arguments from upstairs keep me awake at night. I can’t sleep, I can’t think straight and I feel like someone is watching me in my own home.

And then Zac comes home one afternoon, his face clenched with fury, and says he knows what’s going on. He knows about my secret....

He won’t listen to me. He storms out and I’m left in tears, completely devastated.

Why has my life fallen apart since we moved here? Am I going mad? Or is someone trying to destroy us?

If only I’d known what I know now.
If only I hadn’t trusted the couple upstairs.

From the USA Today best-selling author Shalini Boland comes an absolutely heart-thumping psychological thriller with a twist you won’t see coming. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Wife Between Us.

Critic reviews

"I have goosebumps.... This book is EVERYTHING!... Had I known I was in for such a wild ride I would have started reading this book earlier in the day instead of being kept all night!" (ThrillByThePage Book Blogger)

Great

Didn’t think i was going to enjoy this as much as i did. Teaches you to never judge a book by its cover.

A little too stressful- too many problems

I love psychological and domestic thrillers, but this one- while well written- was just too much for me. Might just be the mood I’m in, but it was over the top painful. Over and over and over again crazy situations.

Suspenseful with an unexpected twist !

MOST EXCELLENT ! Will look for more books from this writer and narrator!! You'll love it !

Did Not See That Coming!

I really did not see the plot twist coming, and I’m usually pretty good at catching on, but not this read. Such a wonderful book for those who love a great mystery!

if you like KL Slater you'll love Shalini Boland!!

This was a page turner and I binged listened to this book. From the beginning to end this book doesn't disappoint. I don't want to ruin it, but spend your credit.
