Stephanie cradles her coffee and gazes out to the little house at the end of her garden. The family who just moved in seem perfectly nice, if a little odd. And it’s only now that Stephanie realises: if she can see them, they can see everything inside her house, too… 


Single mother Stephanie is more than happy to welcome the Kemps to her property. Tragically, they have just lost everything in a fire. The rent money means Stephanie can keep her children in this beautiful, rambling home – so expensive to run, since the divorce – all while helping the Kemps get back on their feet.


Jason Kemp is so handy, always offering to fix things. But his wife Ceceliafinds a reason to knock on Stephanie’s door every day. Their teenage daughter is sullen and rude. Then one day, Cecelia says the strangest thing…


“You know what teenagers are like. I would have sworn that she set our house on fire in a fit of rage.”

It must be a joke. Stephanie smiles weakly. The Kemps have been through so much, she tells herself.

But when she opens her eyes in the middle of the night to the sound of unfamiliar footsteps on the staircase, Stephanie realises she has made a dangerous mistake. A mistake she may not survive…


An absolutely addictive and twisty psychological thriller where nothing is as it seems! Fans of Shari Lapena, Lisa Jewell and Noelle W. Ihli will be completely hooked.

Nicole Trope went to university to study Law but realized the error of her ways when she did very badly on her first law essay because, as her professor pointed out, ‘It’s not meant to be a story.’


She studied teaching instead and used her holidays to work on her writing career and complete a Masters’ degree. In between raising three children, working for her husband and renovating houses, she has published multiple bestselling novels. She lives in Sydney, Australia.





  • A Perfectly Nice Family
  • Written By Nicole Trope
  • Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

  • First, I want to thank Nicole Trope, Bookouture and NetGalley for this book so I can bring you this review. 


    Seriously no joke reading A Perfectly Nice Family by Nicole Trope I felt like I was watching one of those crazy good family drama filled reality shows!! Infact, this story would be great as a Netflix series!! I have been a fan of Nicole’s for a while now but this one for me was one of my favorites! It was so fast paced and addicting that I was able to binge read it in one sitting! Yes, that is how into the story I was!! This book deserves 5 stars and is a must read!! 


    What I would love to know is how Nicole came up with this storyline! It was brilliant as it was so creative, different, and outside of the box!! Nothing like this storyline has ever been done like this! Plus, the characters are different, unique and mysterious. 


    Here is what I couldn’t wrap my head around: Stephanie didn't think to google the Kemps before agreeing to have them move on to her property?! She didn’t know anything about them!!! That would have been a red flag city for me!!! However, once things got weird then she googles them? I was shaking my head with that one. 


    Within the craziness of the storylines there are some where the readers I think may be able to relate to. 


    There are many many wicked twists and turns that threw me off the trail of figuring out what was really going on! That one actually blew me away!
