A Curtain Twitcher's Book of Murder
New Paperback
Postscript summary
The revolutions of the Sixties have had little impact on Atbara Avenue, where everything appears spick and span even after a murder. In a series of vignettes Gay Marris details the residents’ domestic lives, building an unsettling community portrait that asks what we really know of our neighbours.
Product information
Full publisher description
London, 1968. A suburban London street. But this is no ordinary road.
"Ask anyone on Atbara Avenue how well they know their neighbours, and they'll answer 'well'. After all, they see each other across the vast distance afforded by close proximity, and that is probably for the best...".
In number 17 live a bitter daughter and her mother, trapped with each other.
Or are they?
The twin brothers at number 3 think they're nothing like each other, but they may be proved wrong. Lesley disappeared from number 49 years ago. Then her body is found, and with it more secrets.
Atbara Avenue is a street where, all too often, murder feels like the solution.
With a delicious cast of characters, dazzling plotting, and a unique voice, Gay Marris' first book is the fresh and compelling new voice in the world of crime fiction you've been waiting for.
