The blurb of the first book caught my interest, but after reading your review, I’ll skip that. one. I have a Natalie Barelli book (The Housekeeper) on my TBR and I’m looking forward to reading it.

Everybody wants to live on Hogarth Street, the pretty, tree-lined avenue with its white houses. The new family, The Wests, are a perfect fit.

Nicole Trope went to university to study Law but realised the error of her ways when she did very badly on her first law essay because-as her professor pointed out- ‘It’s not meant to be a story.’ She studied teaching instead and used her holidays to work on her writing career and complete a Masters’ degree in Children’s Literature. After the birth of her first child she stayed home full time to write and raise children, renovate houses and build a business with her husband.I’m writing this review with tears streaming down my face!! What a BRILLIANT book… I was on edge every single second… At one point I realised my body was literally tensed up in anticipation .’ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Missing Molly had a great premise, and I think if I hadn’t already read other books by Natalie prior to this one (which I think was earlier in her career) I probably would have been in love with it. This is how you do thrillers. OMG, this story was amazing… Edge-of-your-seat-nail-biting read.’ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gladys and Lou lived across the street from Katherine and John West and their five-year-old twins George and Sophie. Early one hot summer morning, Gladys noticed the house was still closed up, when Katherine always had the blinds open, with the children getting ready for school, and she started to get a bad feeling. Lou was suffering with Parkinson’s Disease and Gladys cared for him, apart from days Peter, the carer, arrived and Gladys was free to do her usual chores. But Peter hadn’t been able to come that day, leaving Lou in Gladys’ hands.
