OMG! I absolutely loved this book! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could! I thought it was exceptional!! It was twisted! It was suspenseful!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

A gripping domestic thriller set in a perfect neighborhood, where all the carefully built dynamics are challenged to the core with the arrival of the new neighbors from hell, hence the title "Those People."

Soon things turn for the worse and deeply hidden cracks between individual couples on one side and those between neighbors come to the surface with tragic consequences.

Thanks #Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for a chance to read this book.

I always enjoy Louise Candlish's writing style and character development, and "Those People" delivered even more than I had hoped it would based on the book description. As someone that has very annoying neighbors, the blurb pulled me in...but the story was so much more entertaining and interesting that any real life drama I've experienced. SO well done, kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat. Thank you for this great book! *****

Thank you to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

I fell so hard for Our House, and this one did not disappoint. Louise Candlish has a way with words and paints an unique environment in a neighborhood. There must have been a home she loved dearly in her past because the way she describes homes, neighborhoods and the pride that comes with loving where you live so beautifully. Some neighborhood stories get very mundane and messy, with so many characters and alternating narrations to follow, but Candlish has truly perfected it. Those People never got boring, and all of the small twists and turns were always satisfying. I loved this one and am so glad I was able to enjoy it before it was published. I especially love how well this one wrapped up and left you hanging a little, imagining your own end and your own small justices. I highly recommend it.

I really wanted to like this one more. I do believe it was a solid domestic thriller. It just seemed to drag a bit while you read about the neighborhood's huge dissatisfaction with their new neighbor. You read a chapter from a few weeks "before" the incident from each of the neighbors point of view. We know the incident involves the new unwanted neighbor right away. The new neighbor plays his heavy metal music so loud late at night that Ant and Em and their baby son cannot even get sleep. In addition, his mechanic business is run out of his home so everyone is faced with the eye sore of junky cars galore. I am sorry I could not rate this one higher--the ending just was not as satisfying as I had hoped it would be.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for a chance to read and give an honest review.

I could absolutely feel the frustration build for the people on tree-lined Lowland Way after new neighbors, Darren and Jodie, moved their derelict car business in to the once quiet and peaceful neighborhood.

It was astonishing how one neighbor could assist in the ruin of so many people’s lives. And it was astonishing to watch the destruction of so many lives happen in only a few short months. The plan – make that the many plans – devised by the Lowland Way dwellers was to get rid of Darren and Jodie.

And, of course, there was a mysterious death or two.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. You did a terrific job, Ms. Candlish, of building this story. Great twists. My only gripe: it got a little long. There was nothing repetitive, and the twists all worked; it just went on too long.

Loved this tale set in an award winning neighborhood and all the couples who make it so special. But when new people move onto the street, problems begin immediately. As "those people" settle in and set about making everyone's lives a living nightmare, the neighbors scheme to rid themselves of the intolerable nuisance. All the while the little cracks in relationships start to fray within the couples' lives and those of neighbor v. neighbor.

OUR HOUSE, by author Louise Candlish, was maybe one of the best books I've read in quite some time...the reveal of the very last sentence leaving me breathless. You can imagine my excitement when I received an ARC of THOSE PEOPLE, her newest thriller, to review.

This book deals with a community of people who live on Lowland Way. They are seemingly rich, do community events together, close their street on Sundays so the children can play on the street with no threats of danger. That all changes when Darren Booth and Jodie move into the open house at the corner. To the community of Lowland Way, Darren and Jodie are the neighbors from hell: Rude, loud, blasting music at all hours of the night, dangerously remodeling their house with no thoughts to anyone else's safety, etc. Things come to a head when someone tragically dies.

This book has a lot of characters, which made it a little bit difficult to get into at first. After that, I was fully on the ride. It's a suspenseful tale of what people can do when pushed up to their tipping point. Although I would recommend it, it was a bit disappointing when compared to OUR HOUSE. The characters are all unlikable, and the ending, while satisfying, didn't quite pack the punch I was expecting. Still, a great read. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Thanks to NetGalley, author Louise Candlish, and Berkley Books for an ARC.

I enjoyed this book; however, horrible characters made it hard to sympathize with the situation. By the end of the book "Those People" referred to the residents of Lowland Way and NOT the new neighbors from hell. Fans of books focusing on domestic issues will probably enjoy this as I'm sure some have had 'that neighbor', though perhaps not to the extreme of Darren Booth. In the end I was left feeling thankful that my neighborhood has a noise ordinance. 3 stars.

I really enjoyed Louise Candlish's previous book, Our House, so I was looking forward to reading this. The mystery begins in the middle of the story and leads you toward the answers with the 8 weeks before, 6 weeks before, etc., headers. I was intrigued at this point, but you get to the "present" about halfway through the book and then it's unclear where it's going from there. I found the second half not as interesting as the first half, and it wasn't holding my attention for very long. I feel like it could have had less smaller plot points spread throughout, and focused more on the main plot, which would have moved it along a little quicker. When I read a mystery, it's very important to me to feel like I can't wait to find out what happens, and once you get to the present in this story, it loses that feeling. 3 stars - OK but not great.

No matter how nice the neighborhood is, there are always some of Those People. They are loud, disruptive and have no consideration for their neighbors. Being kind and friendly doesn't help. What can you do? Lowland Way is a great neighborhood and a wonderful, safe place to raise your children. Darren and Jodie move into the corner house. They are rude and unfriendly. They will never fit in. They break all the rules. He is remodeling/ demolishing the house. It needed some work but it looks like a mess that will never be fixed. Now, they are selling used cars from their front yard. This just can't continue. Then one day an unexpected death rocks the street. The police are going house to house looking for witnesses to the tragedy. Who did this? There are secrets every time another house is visited. A thriller that keeps you guessing until the end. I received this book from Net Galley and Berkley Publishing for a honest review.

I liked this book and it’s premise because who hasn’t had bad neighbors. It was a riveting read that I throughly enjoyed. The plot was fast paced and held my interest
Thanks to Netgalley and and the publisher for letting me review this book

I love Louise Candlish books. I read the other one and found it riveting. About a woman who came home and found strange people living in her home. This book, "Those People" did not disappoint either. A pleasant neighborhood is besieged by a man and his girlfriend who move in and make their lives miserable. Then he dies and every neighbor who hated him is suspect. Great book!

This is the second Louise Candlish book I have read and I (literally) could not put it down. The neighbors and neighborhood were so real and the characters so genuine. I loved the twist at the end (no spoilers) as to who the new owner of the house turned out to be. I'm going to go back and find Candlish's prior novels. She is one of my new favorites and I've recommended her to anyone who will listen. Thanks for the Advanced Copy.

Had to suspend disbelief a little on this one. I know the new neighbors had to be made into awful people in order for anyone else to be a sympathetic character but they were a little over the top for me. Also a little hard to believe some characters would really make some of the choices they made but still a fun read.

I’d like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. As soon as I saw this book on here, I wanted to read it before even reading the premise since I really enjoyed Our House so much. With that being said, I enjoyed this book as well. It has many chapters from different neighbours perspectives and what goes on between them over the course of 8 weeks and what and how far would you go to get rid of a nuisance on the street, would you kill? A thrill of a ride that I finished in one day.

Ugh. Who hasn’t had bad neighbors before? I once sold a house because of particularly nasty neighbor, but Candlish takes her version of bad neighbors to the next level. In what had been a peaceful upper middle class suburb, new neighbors bring an idyllic, quiet setting to an end. Darren and Jodie do not belong in Lowland Way, the only reason they have the house at all is because they inherited it. Former Council residents, they begin by tearing down an historic wall, then amp things up by playing loud music at all hours and keeping broken down cars in their yard for Darren to work on. It’s a nightmare all right and when tempers flare someone ends up dead. Anyone who has ever been stuck in a similar situation will likely see themselves in the “good” neighbors and understand how frustration and rage might end in tragedy. Like eating peanuts
