Items related to The Killer Next Door (Nathaniel Drinkwater)
No. 23 has a secret. In this bedsit-riddled south London wreck, lorded over by a lecherous landlord, something waits to be discovered. Yet all six residents have something to hide.
Collette and Cher are on the run; Thomas is a reluctant loner; while a gorgeous Iranian asylum seeker and a 'quiet man' nobody sees try to stay hidden. And watching over them all is Vesta - or so she thinks.
In the dead of night, a terrible accident pushes the neighbours into an uneasy alliance. But one of them is a killer, expertly hiding their pastime, all the while closing in on their next victim...
As a cloying heatwave suffocates the city, events build to an electrifying climax in this dark, original and irresistibly compelling thriller.

Review:
Taut, assured and reminiscent of Ruth Rendell's psychological novels, Marwood's second book more than lives up to the promise shown in her splendid debut, The Wicked Girls (Guradian)
Having read it and devoured every page, I really wish I'd written it! It was cleverly plotted and pacy, with all the storylines thundering towards a final, gripping conclusion. I loved it (Elizabeth Haynes on The Wicked Girls)
The Wicked Girls is utterly compelling. It's psychologically rich, complex and masterfully plotted. I couldn't put it down, even when I sensed it was taking me somewhere very dark indeed. I can't wait to see what Alex Marwood comes up with next (Jojo Moyes)
The best thriller I've read since Sister. Taut, gritty and utterly compelling (Lisa Jewell on The Wicked Girls)
Dark, twisty and full of good surprises and insights. Marwood has delivered a compelling debut crime novel (Daily Mail)
This incredible story will play on your mind. Two weeks after I read it, I can't stop thinking about it. The book of the year (The Sun on The Wicked Girls)
I devoured The Wicked Girls over one weekend and loved it. I held my breath during the last few chapters (Erin Kelly)
Brilliantly taut psychological thriller. One of the best debuts of 2012 (Bella)
If you like dark, twisted stories, I recommend this . . . A thumping good read (Jenny Eclair on The Wicked Girls)
Genuinely disturbing and emotionally unsettling, The Wicked Girls is irresistible (Val McDermid)
