One of those novels I couldn’t wait to get to every evening. Propulsive, with twists and turns I didn’t see coming, yet warm and good-hearted. I enjoyed it SO much

Until recently, the most exciting thing that that happened in Ashdown Close was a parcel going missing. 
 
That was before the arrival of Sian and Richard at number 8. They are cool, glamorous, and everything that Kitty hoped her life in London would be. Kitty can’t help but be dazzled by her new neighbours, and makes it her mission to befriend them. 
 
But when she sees a mysterious stranger leaving their house, she realises they might not be the perfect couple she thought. Aided and abetted by her reluctant best friend Grace, Kitty is determined to find out the truth. 
 
But nosy neighbouring has consequences. 
 
And on a street where everyone knows everything, what if you uncover more than you bargained for?

No one’s secrets are safe… 
 
Kitty thought moving to London would spice up her life. Unfortunately, she ended up on Ashdown Close, where the hottest topic of gossip is a missed bin collection. 
 
That was before the arrival of Sian and Rich at number 8. They are cool and glamorous, and Kitty is perfectly willing to be dazzled by their company. 
 
But when she spots a mysterious woman furtively leaving their house, she realises they might not be the magnetic couple she thought. Aided and abetted by best friend Grace, Kitty feels she needs to investigate. 
 
Do Sian and Richard really have something to hide, or are Kitty and Grace just being nosy neighbours? 
 
And if they are, perhaps they are not the only ones. 
 
Because on this street’s nobody’s business might just turn out to be everybody’s business . . .
