The Killer Next Door: A Novel

The Killer Next Door: A Novel

â€œThe Killer Next DoorÂ is even better [than The Wicked Girls]. Scary as hell. Great characters.â€ â€”Stephen King

Winner ofÂ the Macavity Award for Best Mystery Novel and nominated forÂ the Anthony Award for Best Paperback Original

Alex Marwoodâ€™s new book,Â The Darkest Secret, is available now from Penguin Books

Everyone who lives at 23 Beulah Grove has a secret.Â If they didnâ€™t, they wouldnâ€™t be renting rooms in a sketchy South London building for cashâ€”no credit check, no lease. Itâ€™s the kind of place you end up when you youâ€™ve run out of other options. The six residents mostly keep to themselves, but one unbearably hot summer night, a terrible accident pushes them into an uneasy alliance. What they donâ€™t know is that one of them is a killer. Heâ€™s already chosen his next victim, and heâ€™ll do anything to protect his secret.

Alex Marwoodâ€™s debut novelÂ The Wicked GirlsÂ earned her lavish praise from the likes of Elizabeth Haynes, Laura Lippman, and Erin Kelly and received the Edgar Award. Now, Marwoodâ€™s back with a brilliant, tightly paced thriller that will keep you up at night and make you ask yourself:Â just how well do you know your neighbors?

â€œTaut, assured and reminiscent of Ruth Rendell's psychological novels, Marwood's second book more than lives up to the promise shown in her splendid debut,Â The Wicked Girls.â€ â€”The GuardianÂ
