Is there a murderer across the street?
1964.
Twenty-three-year-old Katy Speed is fascinated by glamorous Gloria and the goings-on at her house over the road.
Who are the mysterious women that keep coming and going in the strange black car?
Then one night, Gloria's house burns to the ground. Bodies are found in the wreckage.
And Katy's horror turns to disbelief when her own father is arrested and charged with murder.
Determined to prove his innocence, Katy sets out to uncover the truth about the mysterious house across the street and find the real murderer.
But that means risking her own life . . .

Pearse has written another pacy novel, steeped in 1960s authenticity and driven by lovable - and love to hate - characters. But at the heart of the book lies a powerful message which stays with you long after you've finished reading * Sunday Express *
Lesley Pearse brilliantly captures the era . . . Emotional and moving, The House Across The Street is storytelling at its best, filled with characters you will care passionately about -- Anne Cater * Daily Express *
5 * * * * * A gripping read set in the 1960s. The story becomes a full-blown mystery that will leave Katy's life in danger, and the search for answers drives this engaging combination of thriller and drama * The People's Friend *
Author's Bio
International bestselling author Lesley Pearse has lived a life as rich with incidents, setbacks and joys as any found in her novels. By the mid-sixties she was living in London, sharing flats, partying hard and married to a trumpet player in a jazz-rock band. She has also worked as a nanny and a Playboy bunny, owned a gift shop and designed and made clothes to sell to boutiques. It was only after having one son and three daughters that Lesley began to write. She published her first book at forty-nine and has not looked back since. Lesley is still a party girl.
