Publisher's Summary
Meet the neighbours from hell, in the gripping thriller that reviewers and readers describe as "fast-paced", "chilling", and "impossible to put down".
When Jamie and Kirsty move into their first home together, they are full of optimism. The future, in which they plan to get married and start a family, is bright. The other residents of their building seem friendly too, including the Newtons, a married couple who welcome them to the building with open arms.
But then strange things start to happen. Dead rats are left on their doorstep. They hear disturbing noises, and much worse, in the night. After Jamie's best friend is injured in a horrific accident, Jamie and Kirsty find themselves targeted by a campaign of terror.
As they are driven to the edge of despair, Jamie vows to fight back—but he has no idea what he is really up against....
The Magpies is a gripping psychological thriller in which the monsters are not vampires or demons but the people who live next door. It is a nightmare that could happen to anyone.

Shame about the narration
Slow start, ok story, found the narration really difficult and shall actively avoid this narrator in the future.

The Magpies
What a disturbing story!
A delightful couple move into a flat together. Their dream home, or is it? It gradually becomes clear it’s their worst nightmare. A gripping read with a surprising and totally believable ending.

To begin with
This story started quite well but I felt the writer did not know how to end it. The ending was really silly.

Dull, Dull, mind shatteringly dull.
One of the most boring "horror" books I've ever read. 95% descriptions of normal people doing normal things. Sub-plots that whent nowhere, an unlikeable main character all leading to an incredibly wwak climax. The mildy disturbing parts are buried under so much boring exposition you'll want to tear your ears off. I only completed It because I was determined to get my moneys worth. I would not recommend this book as a horror novel to anyone who isn't over 70 or be brought forward in time from the Victorian era.

The Magpies
The story was interesting but over the top. I was disgusted by the overt sexual descriptions and crude language. I wouldn't recommend this book. However it was well read.

The “about this book” tells it all :(
If you read the synopsis of this book you’ll know exactly what is going to happen. Zero surprises. I struggled through waiting for the big twist that never came. It was a frustrating read, lots of stuff happening but a lot of it not relevant in the end. I’ve read this authors work before and enjoyed it, but not this time. Narrator was excellent.
