The Woman at No. 3

By: Rebecca Collomosse

Narrated by: Olivia Mace, Emma Noakes, Charlotte Worthing

Our dream home. A fresh start. But the house comes with secrets — and so do the neighbours.

The moment we moved in, I knew something was wrong. A cracked stove. Scribbles on the wall. The lights flicking off every evening — always at the same time. Our daughter crying in the night, pointing at the corner of her room. "She has no face."

Then I met Josie, the woman at No. 3.

Pale. Polite. Smiling. Obsessed. She knows things she shouldn't. Offers to babysit my daughter again and again. And when I told her no — she didn't like that.

Now the gifts are arriving. Notes through the door. A bottle left in the kitchen with no explanation. And my daughter won't stop screaming in her sleep.

Everyone thinks I'm imagining it. But I know what I saw. What I heard.

We finally found our dream home. But what if the nightmare lives next door . . . ?

Kept my interest, but..

The story is very interesting, but it's also very annoying. Our heroine is weak and wishy washy. She lets her husband and others walk all over her and it grates. Also in the end it wrapped up okay except you have to listen to more apologizing unnecessarily and people don't even do the right thing morally or legally.

Tough listen

The plot takes so long to play out in this book. It drags on with the same thing happening over and over. The characters are unlikable: the wife is getting walked on, the husband is horrible to her, and the child is a brat. It’s actually hard to listen to this book. While I wanted to shut the book down, admittedly I was held in till the end to see how it ended. It was a good book, but not a relaxing listen.

Did not like the Naration

The naration was so disturbing. It drove me crazy, especially Poppy. The story drug on. I only finished it because I am not a quitter.

, riveting

The story kept me attached the whole time. couldn't put the book down.

Recommend it as a grapes thriller

Annoying

What’s with Poppy? Hated her voice. I could never understand why they didn’t put cameras in her room and in the house. I listened to it anyway some of the story line was good but predictable
