After the disappointment that was Survive the freaking Night, I was prayingggg that this would be a welcome change. So whilst Claudia (not to mention us viewers) doesn’t yet know where Emily Winter is, The House Across The Street will surely provide us with plenty more creepy revelations and murky moments before the truth is unveiled.

Additional cast include: Appy Pratt as Elizabeth, Anna's 8-year-old daughter who died in 2018, Brendan Jennings as Massacre Mike, a cannibalistic serial killer who murdered Elizabeth, [6] [13] Janina Gavankar as Meredith, Neil's wife who died a few months before he moved in across from Anna, Nitya Vidyasagar as Hillary, Meredith's sister, Nicole Pulliam as Claire, Douglas's coworker, and Lyndon Smith as Ms.Likeable teacher George is new to the area, but becomes friends with Claudia when he starts tutoring her troubled son, Rhys.

I have stated many times that I’m tired of boozy narrators but this time I wasn’t bothered, because Casey is not an unreliable narrator and I never once thought she was imagining things. In the process, she uncovers eerie, darker truths that turn a tale of voyeurism and suspicion into a story of guilt, obsession and how looks can be very deceiving. I’m all about a great story and the development of characters, but why explain a situation and then have that same situation repeated all over again in dialogue?Riley Sager's latest psychological suspense thriller is infused with echoes of Rear Window, it features widowed actress, Casey Fletcher, a woman struggling to cope, taking to the demon drink to escape her pain and misery, only find her life slipping out of her control, sacked from her last production. Casey inherited her husband’s binoculars and using them to spy on her neighbors instead of scrolling through several trashy formats on Netflix which is totally understandable.

She cooks chicken casseroles and reads books with titles like The Woman Across the Lake and The Girl on the Cruise. Be forewarned, spoilers are ahead: The fact that there was a supernatural aspect in this book took me by surprise as Riley Sager has never included a supernatural aspect before since some other books of his would fit the concept better. The lonely primary school nurse is recovering from double mastectomy, while struggling to maintain a meaningful relationship with her 12-year-old son. She is joined in The House Across The Street cast by Craig Parkinson AKA Line of Duty’s corrupt cop Matthew ‘Dot’ Cottan, who plays teacher George - far cry from his role on the BBC show.Last week I slogged to the end of ITV’s The Suspect, mainly because I couldn’t rest without knowing why that plumber kept popping up in the kitchen with suspiciously timed offers of coffee and/or beating up photographers in the back garden.
