The Last House on Needless Street

By: Catriona Ward

Narrated by: Christopher Ragland

The must-listen gothic thriller of 2021.

This is the story of a murderer. A stolen child. Revenge. This is the story of Ted, who lives with his daughter, Lauren, and his cat, Olivia, in an ordinary house at the end of an ordinary street.

All these things are true. And yet some of them are lies.

You think you know what's inside the last house on Needless Street. You think you've come across this story before. In the dark forest at the end of Needless Street, something lies buried. But it's not what you think....

Critic reviews

"I haven't read anything this exciting since Gone Girl." (Stephen King)

"Books like this don't come around too often." (Joanne Harris)

Very good & out of this world

I'm not going to say anything more about this book than that it's very good. It uses story ingredients that are not unfamiliar to fans of crime fiction but it is done in a way that makes the story quite original.
There's also not much to say about the narration: it's just incredibly good.

Ohh wow

Not what I expected at first. Such a great book!! Made my heart race more than once. And it was heart wrenching as well. A true rollercoaster.

Spellbinding

Thoroughly enjoyed this psychological horror. I won't include spoilers but this topic has always been a horror/thriller genre favourite of mine. Love the clever rollercoaster ride the author takes you on. Highly recommend.
