No. 23 has a secret. In this bedsit-riddled south London wreck, lorded over by a lecherous landlord, something waits to be discovered. Yet all six residents have something to hide. Collette and Cher are on the run; Thomas is a reluctant loner; while a gorgeous Iranian asylum seeker and a 'quiet man' nobody sees try to stay hidden. And watching over them all is Vesta - or so she thinks. In the dead of night, a terrible accident pushes the neighbours into an uneasy alliance. But one of them is a killer, expertly hiding their pastime, all the while closing in on their next victim...As a cloying heatwave suffocates the city, events build to an electrifying climax in this dark, original and irresistibly compelling thriller.

The electrifying new thriller from the author of the Edgar-Award winning sensation The Wicked Girls, Alex Marwood.
The Wicked Girls is utterly compelling. It's psychologically rich, complex and masterfully plotted. I couldn't put it down, even when I sensed it was taking me somewhere very dark indeed. I can't wait to see what Alex Marwood comes up with next - Jojo MoyesHaving read it and devoured every page, I really wish I'd written it! It was cleverly plotted and pacy, with all the storylines thundering towards a final, gripping conclusion. I loved it - Elizabeth Haynes on The Wicked GirlsThe best thriller I've read since Sister. Taut, gritty and utterly compelling - Lisa Jewell on The Wicked GirlsDark, twisty and full of good surprises and insights. Marwood has delivered a compelling debut crime novel - Daily MailA thriller that will have you compulsively flipping pages well into the small hours - Australian Women's WeeklyThis incredible story will play on your mind. Two weeks after I read it, I can't stop thinking about it. The book of the year - The Sun on The Wicked GirlsI devoured The Wicked Girls over one weekend and loved it. I held my breath during the last few chapters - Erin KellyBrilliantly taut psychological thriller. One of the best debuts of 2012 - Bella
