‘An exciting, dark novel about friendship; brutally truthful and raw’ Adele Parks, No. 1 bestselling authorSunday Times

Sara and Neil have new neighbours in their street. Glamorous and chaotic, Gav and Lou make Sara’s life seem dull. As the two couples become friends, sharing suppers, red wine and childcare, it seems a perfect couples-match. But the more Sara sees of Gav and Lou, the more she longs to change her own life. But those changes will come at a price.

Praise for :The People at Number 9

Daily Mail‘Cleverly maintains suspense … a compelling and readable tale of our times’

Adele Parks‘An exciting, dark novel about friendship; brutally truthful and raw’

Katie Fforde‘This was clever, relentless and utterly recognisable. I absolutely loved it!’

Sophie Hannah‘Held me in its vice-like grip from first page to last. It's a fascinating analysis of an unhealthy friendship based on insecurity and delusion, and the characters are so vividly drawn that I sympathised with them and despaired of them in equal measure’

Woman & Home‘Excruciating yet unputdownable, this is domestic noir at its most gripping’

Veronica Henry'A cautionary tale of what happens when you get caught up with the in-crowd … The characters and the games they play are instantly recognisable to anyone who has stood at the school gates and felt slightly out of place. I gulped it down quicker than a dirty Martini'

Fanny Blake‘Beady insights into female friendship. Irresistible, excruciating and unputdownable’

Samantha King‘Incisively witty, painfully true … draws the reader in with the voyeuristic joy of gossiping about our friends and neighbours, with a shocking sting in the tail to catch us all out’

Lisa Hall‘I LOVED it. Such an unsettling read, with a whole grass-is-greener vibe that makes it really quite creepy … Perfect reading for a cold, dark night!’
