The moment I meet Anna at number 7, I immediately like her. But her husband is staring at me with a strange expression on his face. It sends a shiver down my spine. And then a few days later, Anna is gone…
As soon as I see the moving van, I rush outside. My husband tells me to give our new neighbours space, but I need to know who they are.
When I see Anna, I’m in awe. Despite the chaos of boxes, she is glamorous, with perfect hair and elegant clothes. But her husband, Fraser, makes me nervous. I can’t explain it, but I don’t trust him.
When my doorbell camera detects movement in the night, I’m instantly awake. Our road is usually deathly quiet. As I watch, I see Fraser lifting a large bag into his car. And now, Anna has disappeared.
Fraser tells everyone she’s away visiting family, but Anna told me she didn’t have any, it’s why she wanted to make friends here. Then I remember the bruises I saw on her arms…
I am convinced Fraser killed his wife.
The police dismiss me, and my husband tells me to leave it, but I can’t. I have to know what happened to her. But when I uncover the secret hidden inside number 7, the truth is more dangerous than I ever imagined. And now I’m not sure I will make it out alive…
