This is the story of a murderer. A stolen child. Revenge. This is the story of Ted, who lives with his young daughter Lauren and his cat Olivia in an ordinary house at the end of an ordinary street.
All these things are true. And yet some of them are lies. An unspeakable secret binds the family together, and when a new neighbour moves in next door, the truth may destroy them all. Because there's something buried in the dark forest at the end of Needless Street. But it's not what you think...
From the multiple award-winning author of Little Eve and Rawblood, this extraordinary tale will thrill and move readers. A work of incredible imagination and heartbreaking beauty.

This book has intrigued me for a while so many different reviews... In the end just had to find out for myself.... I mean it's certainly different... And although I only understood certain parts throughout I was never bored of reading it... It was so eeerie and weird in places even the food Ted eats is weird combinations 🤣🤣 It all became to make sense at the end though and I am really glad I did read it... I think it takes a few chapters to get into I mean every few chapters is even told from a cats point of view which is weird in itself but it worked and made sense at the end... I'm gonna give this 4 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🤗👍
