Set in London in 1968, A CURTAIN TWITCHER’S BOOK OF MURDER follows the lives of the inhabitants of 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…”.

For the best, because Atbara Avenue is a street where, all too often, murder feels like the solution.

My Thoughts:

I was not sure what to expect from this book, it is indeed very quirky but works so well. It is a collection of short stories but in a interesting way where the characters from each story turn up in the other stories, they are all connected in some way or another. What happens in Atbara Avenue stays in Atbara Avenue. As the reader you really fell as though you are the curtain twitcher which I found utterly fascinating and compelling. The characters are all relatable and dark and you don’t know who is up to no good and who is just good. It makes for such a compelling read that I will never stop recommending.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
