The Woman Downstairs
Can you ever really know your neighbours?
When human remains are found in a ground floor flat, the residents of Nelson Heights are shocked to learn that there was a dead body in their building for over three years.
Sarah lives at the flat above and after the remains are found, she feels threatened by a stranger hanging around the building.
Laura has lived in the building for as long as she can remember, caring for her elderly father, though there is more to her story than she is letting on.
As the investigation starts to heat up, and the two women become more involved, it's clear that someone isn't telling the truth about what went on all those years ago...
This story is told by two people. Sarah who is in the present day, a single mother of Alex who is studying journalism and Laura who is telling the story two years previously. Both live in the same block of flats.
When a body is found in one of the flats Sarah is determined to find out more.
Even though each chapter says who it is telling the story, it can get a bit confusing, especially when there is dialogue. That apart, it made for an engaging read. Not an edge of your seat read by any means and there were lots of loose ends that weren't tidied up. There were also too many coincidences going on.
It seems to be an in thing at the moment to use social media content, doesn't really work that well, just adds to the confusion.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for my ARC in return for an honest review.
