I received a copy of this from Netgalley in return for an honest review. I enjoyed this book, but I did think that the pace of it was extremely fast. I felt that if it had been a little slower I would have enjoyed in it more and given it 4 stars instead of 3. Other than that I really enjoyed this book and the way that Louise Candlish writes. I will definitely pick up another of her books in the future.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to review this book and to be an early reader via NetGalley! However, I will not be writing a review for this title at this time, as my reading preferences have since changed somewhat. In the event that I decide to review the book in the future, I will make sure to purchase a copy for myself or borrow it from a library. Once again, thank you so much for providing me with early access to this title. I truly appreciate it. Please feel free to contact me with any follow-up questions or concerns.

Thank you for the chance to review this galley prior to publication. Please refer to my goodreads profile for a full review.

Thank you to the publisher for the copy of this one - all opinions are my own.

I will say off the bat, that this was definitely one of the more original and unique takes on a thriller that I've read in awhile. This wasn't the fastest paced thriller out there, and I found that disliking so many of the characters made it drag just a little for me in places, but that being said, I was still intrigued from start to finish to see where the story was going to go - and I was in no way able to guess where that ending landed until I was smack in the middle of it.

I did love the fact that you spend a good chunk of the book not being quite sure who is dead and working towards that reveal, I just wish it had moved slightly quicker to that moment. I also wish the ending had drawn out a little more, but overall this was a decent read that I enjoyed.

Thank you for the opportunity to be an early reader. After the panic and anxiety-inducing OUR HOUSE, I had high hopes for this title. Unfortunately, this one just didn' t do it for me. I found myself wanting to skim it as the pacing was a bit too slow for me. That said, I would gladly read another one of Louise's books.

The new neighbors in this book are everyone's worst nightmare. On this close-knit street, the families are friends and have each other's backs. But no one know what goes on behind closed doors. When Darrell, the obnoxious, loud-music playing man is killed, there are a lot of suspects, including his own significant other.

This was a page turner.

Talk about bad neighbors! This is a story about a lovely neighborhood where the kids play cooperatively in the streets while the parents chat and support one another. Then the neighbors from hell moving and everything goes a little sideways. Loud music, fast cars, constant construction, no regard for the neighborhood. Then there is a murder and everyone is looking a little guilty. This is one of those stories that made you a little uncomfortable, the tension was palpable. And I was suspicious of every single person, shoot I wanna kill those neighbors myself.

At first this is a nice neighborhood threatened by one of "those people" who should stay in their social class's domain. Then you see the underbelly of the neighborhood and realize we all have a nasty side. Lots of suspects and dissatisfaction with this wonderful life.

Ah, "those people". "Those neighbors". We've all had them, we all know them, those "bad" neighbors who just don't fit in. We can point them out if asked to, right?
Or can we? Let me just say from the start that if you're one of those people who needs to "like" the characters in your book, this may not be the book for you. The folks who live in the seemingly idyllic neighborhood at the center of Those People come across as lovely people in the beginning. But as the story progresses and a tragic accident (or was it a accident?) occurs, we find that everyone has their secrets, and no one is beyond being on both sides of finger-pointing, blaming and shaming.
I didn't enjoy this book quite as much as Candlish's "Our House", this was a bit more of a guilty pleasure read, although it did have some serious undertones. It's so easy to look down our noses at "those people" - but at what point do we become "those people" ourselves?

This was my first book by Louise Candlish, and while I have read excellent reviews for this author and her previous work, this was just not my cup of tea. I felt like it was a slow burn...? If not a slow burn, just slow. I felt it was hard to get into and not what I was expecting. I will be more than happy to give this author another read as I feel it is unfair to just read one and be done. It did have interesting points such as the way she told the story, but it did not make up for the slow plot. Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Hang on! Those People is a twisty rollercoaster ride through suburbia! A great whodunit with shades of Desperate Housewives!

Thank you publisher and netgalley for the early copy!

I did not connect with the writing style/plot so I decided to put it down.

Those People is the first book I've read by Louise Candlish and I plan to read more of her books, especially Our House. This book starts out in beautiful, peaceful, well organized Lowland Way, where there are Sunday car-free play times in the street, the houses are gorgeous and well cared for, the community communicates and works together and it's as if this street is insulated from the dirt, noise, and commotion of "lesser" communities.

One day I will understand these books that tank at the end, but today isn't that day. Right now I'm just miffed that the ending totaled this book. It might make a better show than a book, but not without the ending getting major reworking. I just about have had it with stories that have such horrible endings that I regret reading the book. I would beg of the author, and the publisher to fix this.

My copy came from Net Galley. My thoughts and opinions are my own. This review is left of my own free volition.

I have very mixed feelings about this book. First, we have all had THOSE neighbors. Ms. Candlish made it easy to understand and sympathize with the predicament felt by the residents of Lowland Way. However, I am not sure they went about dealing with it the correct way. Though, I am also not sure it would have mattered. The result for the reader was a super long build up to the meat of the story. It seemed forever until we got to the event foreshadowed from the beginning of the book. And once it, and the follow up event, happened, the book felt too rushed and vague. While I constantly tout that I don't like books that spell everything out like the reader is a little kid, to go from extreme detail to generalizations and left open assumptions, it was a bit jarring. Needless to say, not all books hit it out of the park. This one didn't, though I did enjoy getting to know the characters.

At one point in our lives we have had a neighbor that was absolutely terrible. Whether it be noise or cleanliness, all it takes is one person to ruin the atmosphere in a building or in this case an entire neighborhood.

Lowland Way is where you want to be. Picturesque houses and caring neighbors, what more could you ask for. All of that is threatened the minute Darren and Jodie move into the only vacant house. A house soon becomes everyone's worst nightmare.

Constant loud music and used cars everywhere. This is the new normal for Lowland Way. The new residents have slowly chipped away at each residents sanity. Causing businesses to flounder and everyone's relationship to stretch to its very last thread. With no end in sight how far will these neighbors go to get back their way of life?

An intriguing and interesting story.

Lowland Way is a quiet, peaceful street and a lovely place to live where all the neighbors get along. That is until the Booths move in and disturb the peace. When a death shocks the neighborhood, everyone is a suspect.

This is an interesting premise, and the idea of terrible neighbors is a completely relatable problem. Who hasn't felt frustrated at times by annoying neighbors? Candlish has a unique style to her writing and uses multiple points of view to keep you guessing.

While this was a fun read, it wasn't particularly memorable or gripping. At times I found it rather dull and wanted to skip ahead. I thought I would enjoy it more, but in the end it was a solid three stars for me.

Those people reminded me of a longer, more frustrating version of Big Little Lies.

The story follows a neighborhood of friends who’s seemingly perfect world is turned upside down when the neighbors from hell suddenly move in.

There were soooo many moving parts to this novel. I noticed how muddied up the story became after multiple bad decisions transpired. I was particularly annoyed by the brothers Ralph and Finn and their wives. They were major snobs and literally picked at EVERYTHING Booth(the new neighbor) did. Now, granted, I understand that Booth was a little hard to get along with especially since he blasted music on a regular basis but come on! These people were throwing temper tantrums at every turn.

I finished the book despite how wordy and predictable the story was.

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

This is one of those books I'd pick up, read a few pages, put down, read something else, pick up again, and so on. When I FINALLY buckled down and started reading it in earnest, I got quickly sucked in. The characters are extremely well developed, and I liked the author's flow. I'd definitely recommend this, and look forward to reading books by Louise Candlish in the future.

I really enjoyed this book. It's about a neighbour from hell moving to this quiet middle class street in London and disrupting everyone's lives. Details are given about the lives of his closest neighbours and how the various neighbours are connected to each other. As the nuisance continues and the neighbours collectively and individually try to deal with this new neighbour, a person dies and the reader is left wondering if it was an accident or murder. There are so many twists and turns, some predictable, some not, but all very entertaining. The reader is left wondering how they would deal with this type of situation. This author has delivered another good read.
