Those People by Louise Candlish
3.0

I’ve been lucky enough to never have neighbours that I don’t get on with or have loud parties etc. In Lowlan Way, all is well. The kids play on the street every a Sunday and it is a suburban paradise. The houses are beautiful and the neighbours are friendly. That is until Darren and Jodie move in and don't follow the ‘rules’ set by current residents. Soon disputes start and there are threats of violence.

Then someone dies and it shocks the street. Everyone blames Darren and Josie but the police don't agree. The neighbours are all suspected and the story is told from the point of view of the different residents.

I have started to read more domestic thrillers lately and I enjoyed this. Some people are capable of doing anything and I liked the whodunit. I specifically liked the end. The man who got arrested actually did it but he didn’t plan it until opportunity arose.

The reason for the three stars is it wasn’t particularly full of red herrings and was a bit slow. I know domestic thrillers can be but it was just lacking something. Still a good read though.
