    About this audiobook

    ‘I was gripped immediately’ Katerina Diamond, Sunday Times bestseller

    How much do you know about the couple next door?

    When Emily and Ben move in next door to Dr Burman and his wife Alisha, they are keen to get to know their new neighbours. Outgoing and sociable, Emily tries to befriend the doctor’s wife, but Alisha is strangely subdued, barely leaving the house, and terrified of answering the phone.

    When Emily goes missing a few weeks later, Ben is plunged into a panic. His wife has left him a note, but can she really have abandoned him for another man? Or has Emily’s curiosity about the couple next door led her straight into danger?

    A gripping, sinister thriller with a twist you won’t see coming from the international bestseller Lisa Stone.

    Lisa Stone

    “As a writer of suspense thrillers I often ask myself what if? What if this happened instead of that? Or why a particular person reacted as they did. So often fact is stranger than fiction; these books start with a fact which I develop.” Lisa Stone lives in England, has 3 children, and 27 books published under the pseudonym Cathy Glass, many of which have become best-sellers.

    • 5/5
      Excellent, gripping audiobook Excellently narrated.highly recommended,I loved it from start to finish
    • 5/5
      The Doctor by Lisa Stone was absolutely gripping thriller that created so many emotions! I love it when a book makes me feel real anger, sadness, or fear! And this book created every single one!
      This definitely will be a perfect book for everyone who loved "Behind Close Doors" by B. A. Paris or You Can't Hide by Emily Shiner. At the same time, the storyline is completely different, completely mad! There were some moments when I needed to put it down to breathe! It was so intense!

      I can't say there were many twists, some small ones, but you don't need twists when half of the time you sit there with "OMG, OMG, OMG!" feelings. I'm sad I waited so long to finishh this book and definitely glad that I am dedicating September for going through my TBR pile!

      Alisha's husband Dr Burman don't like when Alisha talks to people or leave the house. Alisha always declined any interaction with her neighbor Emily but some accident brings them together.
      Emily manage to build friendship with Alisha but this friendship must be kept in secret. Why friendship must be a secret? Can one secret put your life in danger? How far one person can go to keep control?

      If you need blood-boiling, anger-overflowing, heart-racing feelings this may be read for you!
