About this listen

In this mesmerising thriller from the bestselling author of Keep Her Secret, a family’s fresh start is just the beginning of their nightmare…

Ethan Dove’s family has moved to a new home in a safe community, and it’s exactly the fresh start they need. Not only is his marriage to Emma hanging by a thread, but his son, Dylan, and twelve-year-old daughter, Rose, deserve to have a happy childhood.

After Rose is bullied by the boys across the road, Ethan is relieved when the woman who lives next door steps in. Fiona Smith has come into their lives at just the right moment, and when she offers to look after Rose during the school holidays, Ethan and Emma can’t believe their luck.

Which is exactly what Fiona wants. Because, far from being the perfect neighbour, Fiona is the last person you should trust with your child. With a vicious plot for revenge, Fiona is happy to train Rose to be her accomplice, especially when she begins to suspect that Rose might not be as innocent as she appears…

The Psychopath Next Door is a gripping and twisted psychological suspense thriller set in the terrifying world of Mark Edwards’s bestselling The Magpies universe.

It's ok

I've read several Mark Edwards books and have liked some much more than others. He's fun for an easy, fast read with decent twists and turns. This one is ok, not great. Narration was great.

Don’t waste a credit on this one

The story was long and drawn out with the an ending that was just “meh”. I stuck with it hoping it would get better but was disappointed in the end.

I love a Good Psychopath!

I loved The Psychopath Next Door!!! I feel as if I just binged watched 5 seasons of Fear Thy Neighbor. Fiona Smith is new to the neighborhood and all hell is about to break loose. She moves in next door to a sweet family, they become fast friends and the sinister games begin. I am fascinated with fast paced psychological thrillers and The Psychopath Next Door did not let me down. The audiobook and engaging narrator (Imogen Church) created an amazing listening experience and I thrilled to read more from this author.

the title is 100% accurate

The Psychopath Next Door was my first book by Mark Edwards. I went into this thinking it was a standalone and finding out over half way through that it is part of a series.

I thought this was super thrilling and dark! I really was not expecting where this story was going to go.

This audiobook was done so well! I cannot wait to read the previous books!

Female Narrator Was Awful

This is not the first time that narrator Imogen Church has ruined an audiobook for me.
😭😢😭

I am a devoted Mark Edwards fan and when I selected this title, I hoped Imogen Church's narration would be short.

Unfortunately, it wasn't.

Fortunately, narrator Nicholas Boulton gave an outstanding performance.

Although the book was well-written and engaging, this 11-hour audiobook could have easily been a 9-hour audiobook.

The ending was eye-rolling.
