IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE MURDER

Discover the terrifying festive thriller from the five million copy bestselling author of
The Magpies and Here To Stay

'What a perfect gem of a thriller! Dark, twisted, chilling and utterly unputdownable.' CLAIRE DOUGLAS

It’s Noel and Dani’s first Christmas in their new home and they want everything to be perfect - lavish presents, a beautiful tree and outdoor decorations to join in with the festivities in this welcoming community.

But they quickly wonder if this street is as perfect as it appears.

First, there are the unwelcome presents left anonymously on their doorstep.

Then they are sure someone is watching them...

And why are the neighbours all obsessed with a notorious killer who is housed at the nearby women’s prison?

After tragedy strikes at a Christmas party, Noel and Dani try to find out who is targeting them – but, in this case, it might be safer not to know . . .
