Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

As someone who enjoys psychological thrillers, I was intrigued by the premise of The Good Neighbour. From the beginning, the narration by Melanie Crawley and David Monteath draws you into the story, making it hard to stop listening. The performances are top-notch, with Crawley's portrayal of Sarah's growing unease and fear being particularly impressive. However, the pacing of the story can be a bit slow at times, causing some listeners to lose interest. Despite this, the overall narrative is engaging and the ending provides a satisfying resolution to the tension that has been building throughout the audiobook. While not perfect, The Good Neighbour is a worthwhile listen for those who enjoy a good psychological thriller with a focus on the complexities of human relationships and the dark secrets that can lie beneath a seemingly idyllic existence.
