They can’t see her, but she can see them… Simone has a secret. She likes to stand at her bathroom window and spy on the couple downstairs through their kitchen skylight. She knows what they eat for breakfast and who they’ve got over for dinner. She knows what mood they’re in before they even step out the door. There’s nothing wrong with looking, is there? Until one day Simone sees something through the skylight she is not expecting. Something that upsets her so much she begins to plot a terrible crime… From the author of Our House, the British Book Awards Crime & Thriller of the Year |

The Skylight is a novella by British author Louise Candlish. Simone doesn’t like her neighbours. Alina and Gus Hunt are just too perfect a couple. They used noisy, inconsiderate builders for their fancy extension; the work went on far too long. But now the new skylight into their kitchen gives Simone a glimpse into their lives from her top floor bathroom, so she keeps an eye on them, surreptitiously gets to know them quite well. Her partner, Jake never uses that bathroom, so the view is hers alone. But what she sees one night, while Jake is working late, is a shock. That Alina needs to be taught a lesson, she decides, but Simone will bide her time. A little selective mail sorting, and she has a plan….
Short but powerful, a chilling read.
