London, 1968. A suburban London street. But this is no ordinary road.
“Ask anyone on Atbara Avenue how well they know their neighbours, and they’ll answer ‘well’. After all, they see each other across the vast distance afforded by close proximity, and that is probably for the best...”.
In number 17 live a bitter daughter and her mother, trapped with each other.
Or are they?
The twin brothers at number 3 think they're nothing like each other, but they may be proved wrong. Lesley disappeared from number 49 years ago. Then her body is found, and with it more secrets.
Atbara Avenue is a street where, all too often, murder feels like the solution.
With a delicious cast of characters, dazzling plotting, and a unique voice, Gay Marris’ first book is the fresh and compelling new voice in the world of crime fiction you've been waiting for.
'I am not Crime’s biggest fan by a long shot but this book is CLEVER. Written as a series of short stories you can dip in and out of it at leisure, but as you get further in you realise how the web of stories are being woven together to create the novel. The characters you met at the beginning pop up again in the least expected of places and of course at the centre are the vicar and his wife...It really does give you the feeling of being a curtain twitcher! The cast of characters in Atbara Avenue are deliciously dark, they plot and scheme whilst polishing the silver and being very polite to each other... I really enjoyed it, it’s full of dark humour and it’s very entertaining. A great read!'
