Synopsis – The Perfect Home
Until the girl went missing, we thought it was the perfect place to live…
When we move into the exclusive Westford Park housing estate, we feel safe at last. More like a country club, it has everything we might need – beautiful houses with big gardens, a pool, a boating lake, extensive grounds. It’s also got 24/7 security.
Our new neighbours are lovely too. We start to make friendships that feel like they could last a lifetime.
It feels like nothing could possibly go wrong here.
It’s like our secrets haven’t followed us here.
Or that’s what we think at first…

My Review
The Perfect Home: A relentlessly gripping psychological thriller from BESTSELLING AUTHOR Natasha Boydell for 2024 by Natasha Boydell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
3.5 stars rounded up. The Perfect Home is an interesting psychological thriller. It is well written and easy to read. For me, it started interesting but didn’t completely pull me in at first. However, I did hit a point where I wanted to know what happened and didn’t stop reading.
There are quite a few characters, and they are mostly well developed. I think we could have learned more about the teenagers since they do play a large role in the unfolding of the story.
Though I found the story engaging and there were definitely twists I didn’t see coming I do not think this book fully delivers as a thriller. I’m not sure I would classify it as such. It was much more character driven than plot driven, I think. I found it very interesting to see how the many different relationships grew and sometimes fell apart as the story progressed.
Overall, The Perfect Home is a quick, engaging read with some thought-provoking elements for discussion. It would make a very good book club pick.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
