*** PRE-ORDER THE ONLY SUSPECT NOW, THE NEW CAUTIONARY TALE OF
OBSESSION, LOVE, JEALOUSY AND DECEPTION FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES
BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF OUR HOUSE AND THE OTHER PASSENGER *** 'One of
this summer's most anticipated thrillers' Stylist 'Scarily
plausible' Observer 'Guaranteed to have you vibrating with impotent
fury ... a carefully crafted psychological thriller' Laura Wilson,
Guardian 'A feverish atmosphere is built up, with Candlish again
skewering the peccadilloes and prejudices of her middle-class
characters' Sunday Times MEET THE NEIGHBOURS YOU'LL LOVE TO HATE
Until Darren and Jodie move in, Lowland Way is a suburban paradise.
Beautiful homes. Friendly neighbours. Kids playing out in the
street. But Darren and Jodie don't follow the rules and soon
disputes over loud music and parking rights escalate to threats of
violence. Then, early one Sunday, a horrific crime shocks the
street. As the police go house-to-house, the residents close ranks
and everyone's story is the same: They did it. But there's a
problem. The police don't agree. And the door they're knocking on
next is yours. 'You're in for a treat!' Lisa Jewell 'Prepare to be
gripped; Those People is nail-bitingly tense from the first page to
the last. Louise Candlish shows us the dark side of suburbia - and
of ourselves' Erin Kelly 'Sharp satire and a plot that builds to a
roiling boil with a couple of oh-so-clever final twists in close
succession: Louise Candlish is one very clever writer' Sarah
Vaughan 'Beautifully modulated and terrifically suspenseful'
Washington Post 'Twists aplenty, and such wonderful observation - I
loved it' Clare Mackintosh 'An addictive, twisty page-turner about
the neighbours from hell that will give you nightmares about the
suburban dream' Alice Feeney 'A delicious slice of suburban noir. I
loved it' Harriet Tyce 'Candlish is a master at peeling away the
veneer of middle-class respectability, and utterly nails the trials
of living cheek-by-jowl with awful neighbours. You'll be asking
yourself, "How far would I go?"' heat 'Candlish shows us, through
multiple points of view, how Booth's boorish presence causes
sleep-deprived couples to bicker hatefully and grown siblings to
become enraged with one another, until the whole community seems to
turn on itself - with fatal consequences' Wall Street Journal 'A
smart and twisty tale about a murder in a seemingly idyllic
neighbourhood. Oozing with scandal, it's a compelling read' Woman
& Home 'A devilishly good thriller about smug middle class
house price obsession with a wicked ending. Loved it' Laura Kemp
'Utterly gripping' RED 'Lowland Way is a sought-after place to
live, with friendly neighbours and real community spirit, that is
until the Booths move in. The other residents are up in arms, but
how far will they take things to restore their peace? A read that
will make you rejoice for nice neighbours!' Prima 'Louise Candlish
captures the mores of middle-class life and our worst,
curtain-twitching tendencies like no one else' RED, online 'Full of
marvellously toxic characters' Best 'Candlish has a keen, satirical
eye for social hypocrisy, and she skilfully explores the tensions
that the situation exposes in her entitled, privileged characters
with compassion and nuance. An unsettling, darkly funny, artfully
composed novel about the way we live now' Irish Times
