The Family Across the Street (ePub)

In a normal family, in a normal house, on a normal street, everything is about to go horribly wrong…

Today was meant to be an ordinary day.

A perfect summer morning, the weatherman predicting record highs. The children getting ready for school, five-year-old George packing his marbles and his twin sister Sophie, younger by three minutes, cradling her Polly Pocket doll. But it didn't turn out that way.

In the suburbs, every day is an ordinary one. We never lock our doors, and the police only get called for missing cats. But not today… The doors are locked, the curtains closed, and there is no escape. In the darkness, it's impossible to believe that it's a beautiful sunny morning. Why is someone I love, someone we trust, punishing me like this? How could I have got it so very wrong?

It was meant to be an ordinary day. But now my children hold my hands, trembling with terror - and it's up to me to protect them. When sirens screech through the air, disturbing the peace of our quiet street, I realise that things will never be ordinary again…

A completely gripping and twist-packed page-turner that fans of Liane Moriarty, Sally Hepworth and Lisa Jewell will be totally addicted to.
