About this listen

WATERSTONES THRILLER OF THE MONTH AUTHOR: 'Britain's Patricia Highsmith' (Sunday Times)

Discover the original psychological thriller as a sleep-deprived young mother struggles to stay sane.

'A lost masterpiece.' Peter Swanson

'Brilliant ... Such clever, witty writing.' Elly Griffiths

'Fremlin packs a punch.' Ian Rankin

'A slow-burning chill of a read by a master of suspense.' Janice Hallett

Louise would give anything - anything - for a good night's sleep. Forget the girls running errant in the garden and bothering the neighbours. Forget her husband who seems oblivious to it all. If the baby would just stop crying, everything would be fine.

Or would it? What if Louise's growing fears about the family's new lodger, who seems to share all of her husband's interests, are real? What could she do, and would anyone even believe her? Maybe, if she could get just get some rest, she'd be able to think straight . . .

An excellent read!

Like the other Celia Fremlin books on Audible, this one pulls you in from the very beginning and keeps you going until the end. Another great read! The narrator Clare Corbett is wonderful and brings all of the books to life.
