I really enjoyed the writing style. I found myself hooked, turning the pages.

This book definitely had me on edge and gave me the creeps! Quite a twisty, physiological read!! This book was quite suspenseful!

This was a great read! There were so many twists and turns and kept me on the edge of my seat! I couldn’t put it down!

The Woman At No. 3 wastes no time in setting the stage for an intriguing story. From the very beginning when you meet the neighbors, you can tell something is amiss, but naturally you have no idea why.

After moving into their dream home, a family faces a series of incidents that are not just frustrating, also unnerving. Broken appliances, electricity blackouts, and noises in the attic are only the start. When messages appear on their toddlers message board, and night terrors begin, things start to feel more sinister. What secrets does this house hold? The neighbors seem to have secrets of their own. The dream home starts to feel more like a nightmare the family can’t escape.

Although I did predict many of the twists, there was one in particular I didn’t see coming. Truthfully one part of the book gave me the creeps and I had to stop reading for the night. The story also has inner monologue scattered throughout and I couldn’t decide who the thoughts belonged to and that kept the vibe suspenseful until the end.

Thank you NetGalley and Joffe books for the chance to read and review this ARC.

This was a very fast paced thriller, which I loved. I haven’t read too many thrillers where the neighbors are the issue, so I really enjoyed that. Overall, I thought this was a quick and entertaining read.

I found this to be a brilliantly addictive story which gripped me right from the start. There was plenty of tension and suspense which kept me invested in reading the story. Fancy finding your dream home, moving in but finding a few problems on the very first day! Then there are the lights going off then on again a little bit later and noises in the loft, just what is going on? Then some nights Poppy would wake up screaming and wailing. She was convinced there was something in the corner of her room with no face! I thought the author has written a superb psychological story with a great eye for detail on describing her characters and their traits. The story is beautifully written with great descriptive text that really describes everything really well. It’s been well plotted with some great twists and turns. The storyline has been well thought out. I enjoyed the author’s writing style and it was very easy to read. I haven’t read this author before but I would like to read more of her books as this book kept me hooked right to the end.

Blurb :

The moment we moved in, I knew something was wrong.

We’ve finally found our dream home. It’s perfect for our little family: my hardworking husband Mike, my two-year-old daughter Poppy, and me. Three nice bedrooms. An Aga. A river view. And, best of all, a garden for Poppy to play in.

But something is off.

A cracked stove. Scribbles on the wall. The lights flicking off every evening — always at the same time. Our daughter crying in the night, pointing at the corner of her room. “She has no face.”

Then I met Josie, the woman at No.3.

Pale. Polite. Smiling. Obsessed. She knows things she shouldn’t. Offers to babysit my daughter again and again. And when I told her no — she didn’t like that.

Now the gifts are arriving. Notes through the door. A bottle left in the kitchen with no explanation. And my daughter won’t stop screaming in her sleep.

Everyone thinks I’m imagining it. But I know what I saw. What I heard.

We finally found our dream home. But what if our worst nightmare lives next door . . . ?

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc. Wow, what will a mother do for her child? This was a creepy, great thriller with lots of mystery!

Rebecca Collomosse delivers an atmospheric and emotionally charged mystery in The Woman at No. 3, a gripping tale that blends domestic suspense with a creeping sense of unease. At its heart is a young family full of hope and excitement as they move into their first home—a moment filled with joy and anticipation that Collomosse captures with vivid, heartfelt detail.

But as the story unfolds, the dream quickly begins to unravel. Subtle oddities give way to unsettling events, and what begins as a fresh start soon turns into a chilling nightmare. The suspense builds gradually, drawing the reader in with a growing sense of dread that escalates with each chapter.

The twist—when it comes—is both unexpected and deliciously disturbing, turning the narrative on its head and adding a darker, more sinister layer to an already gripping story. Collomosse’s writing is sharp and immersive, perfectly balancing the emotional stakes with the tension of the mystery.

The Woman at No. 3 is a compelling and twisty read that keeps you second-guessing every character and motive. With its relatable premise and eerie execution, it’s a standout in the domestic thriller genre.

Aww this was right ul my street! It was suspenseful and realistic but also creepy enough to have me up all night reading for answers. Some parts were predictable but that made no odds really. I still loved the journey and seeing how it all played out. Its well written and the characters are brought to life well. I really enjoyed it

Ohh this book creeped me out in the best way possible. I was so scared I had to read it when the sun’s up 😮‍💨 Loved the pacing of this book, took me out of a reading slump.

This book is a twisty domestic thriller that turns dream-home bliss into a creepy and unsettling nightmare.

Such a fantastic read; totally packed with secrets, surprises, and jaw-dropping twists! The author has a real talent for creeping you out in all the right ways. I was hooked from the first page and couldn't stop turning the pages.

THE WOMAN AT NO.3 BY REBECCA COLLOMOSSE.
Release date set for the 1st of July 2025.
This is my first book by Rebecca.
I love the cover.
I thought this was a great storyline although I did predict what was happening.
Thought it was a little creepy at times and very easy to read and kept me engaged.

When Clara and Mike move into what they believe is their dream home with their young daughter, Poppy, they’re filled with hope for the future. At first, everything seems idyllic—until their reclusive and intense neighbor, begins showing an unusual interest in both Poppy and Mike. As unsettling events unfold—unexplained noises in the attic, misplaced belongings, and mysterious notes left at the door—Clara’s unease grows. But when Poppy starts speaking of “the girl with no face,” Clara is convinced something far more sinister is at play. It becomes clear that this seemingly perfect neighborhood may be hiding chilling secrets.

This novel strikes a great balance of suspense and psychological intrigue, with just enough twists to keep the reader engaged. While some plot points were somewhat predictable, the final reveal was impactful and satisfying. I found myself truly rooting for Clara—a mother who simply wanted a safe, lasting home for her family, only to discover that appearances can be deceiving. Though the pacing was a bit slow at times, the eerie atmosphere and surprises lurking in the pages made it worth reading.

A compelling read that explores the lengths a mother will go to protect her child—and the dark truths a neighborhood can conceal.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Joffe Books for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Holy chocolate covered donuts!! The Woman At No.3 by Rebecca Collomosse has left me stunned with my jaw still on the floor!! A new to me author, I wasn't sure what to expect, but this book far exceeded what I was hoping for. Literally gripped from page one, I was sucked in until the stunning conclusion. I did not put it down.

Clara and Mike find the seemingly perfect home to raise their family. Mike, at first, is hesitant, but Clara soon convinces him it is the one, and she KNOWS they're going to be so happy there. Right from the start, things run amok, like the creepy neighbors and the thumps in the night from above. Suddenly, things don't seem so great anymore.

Fast-paced and twisty, this will have readers flying quickly through the pages. I liked Clara right away because she wasn't a pushover. She was a strong main character. Mike, on the other hand, well, let's just say he needed improvement! This is the perfect beach read for domestic suspense lovers, and I can't recommend it enough.

Thanks to Netgalley and Joffe Books for the advanced copy

A family of 3 excitedly moved into a new house but very quickly Clara begins to hear and see things that make her suspect that there is either paranormal things happening or someone is targeting and messing with her family. Things become even more eerie after she discovers the sinister past of the house.

Most of the plot twist were easy to predict but still entertaining. There was one involving one of the characters that did surprise me. I really liked how the author didn’t reveal everyone’s full intentions until the end.

It frustrated me how Clara took so long to check the loft where strange noises were coming from and how easily she forgave that specific person towards the end especially with her knowing everything that person had done. The characters each had their own distinct personalities and traits but I didn’t like any of of them.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I will say the plot of this book is totally wild! It is a fun and exhilarating ride with a epic twist that you don't see coming. It had me shaking like a scaredy cat with the creepiness. I love the roles that the characters play to perfection. The plot felt well thought out and I can safely say that it has no flaws in my opinion. I was able to absorb myself in the story and think about nothing but the words on the page and it totally freaked me out in the best possible way. I am really excited for this author who I believe has written a bestseller with The Woman at No.3.

Outstanding book. I read it in almost one day, only had 5 chapters left before I went to sleep and the book stuck with me. I triple checked that everything was locked and every sound had me tensing up. Such a great book to make you feel the emotions in the book.

I did predict the ending somewhat unfortunately, but it didn't take away from the experience of the book and there was still an unexpected twist or two.

Thanks to netgalley for this ARC.

The plot is engaging and seems creepy, but as the story develops, everything seems easy to guess, to me there's been no plot twists as my guesses were right, so the suprises were just a confirmation.

Despite that, it's a good book with characters you love and hate.

Easy quick thriller that I finished in one day. Decent twist at the end but I did predict it somewhat right before. Overall a good book. Thank you to Joffe Books and NetGalley for this ARC.
