Publisher's Summary:

Meet the neighbors from hell, in the gripping thriller that reviewers and listeners 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 Jamies 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.

I Thought This Book Would Never End! Hated it!

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This story could have been told in 10 chapters at the most but it dragged on for 30 endless chapters that were boring and entirely too detailed. I had guessed the end by the first few chapters. The narrator was quite good. He sounded like Jude Law but the story just got on my nerves. Ugh. Save your money!

Extremely slow and disappointed

Struggled to finish this book as I kept expecting more to happen or there to be some black magic or mischief involved. The ending felt rushed and not complete with holes in the storyline. I wouldn't recommend.

Fabulous!

I really enjoy most of Mark Edwards' books. He has a knack for stunning anticipation and making his readers panic- as in 'What's going on??' or 'What will happen next??' Edwards keeps us guessing, and sometimes the most obvious things aren't that obvious, but sometimes they are- so you just never know!

A new couple moves into what seems to be their dream flat- but although their neighbours appear very kind at the beginning, things start to spiral out of control and soon the couple is living their lives in fear and suspense of what their neighbours will do next. But- is it the neighbours that are driving them mad- or is it someone else?

This book is full of terrifying tension and it's very hard to put down. I became enraptured in the story and I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. I strongly recommend the Magpies to someone who likes a great thriller- but a masterful writer of suspense.

Really, really, really bad neighbors!

Magpies is a better psychological thriller than I suspected. There are some crazy people.

Stressful thriller

A couple buys a flat, meets their neighbors, and hangs with them. Everything seems fine, they all get along donthey? Apparently not. Read The Magpies and youll find out why.

Im not sure how to review this novel. In the end, I liked it. It was getting to the end that was unusual for me. I am used to horror/thriller novels that are in your face, obviously some stuff is about to go down, type of feeling.
