21 Willow Lane: A BRAND NEW tense psychological thriller of hidden secrets for 2026

by Keri Beevis

Discover the BRAND NEW gripping psychological thriller from the INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING author of The House Sitter, Keri Beevis ⚡️ Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Claire McGowan and Lisa Jewell! 📚 Some friendships - and secrets - should stay buried forever…

Everyone said a change of scenery would help after my divorce. That’s how I found my perfect little cottage on Willow Lane, in the postcard-pretty Norfolk village of Blakeney. Number 21 was meant to be my fresh start.

Then I met Hope Andrews. Hope is Blakeney’s unspoken secret.

Twenty years ago, three teenagers went into the woods. One was found dead. One vanished without a trace. Hope was the only one who came home.

I didn’t plan to get close to her. I was new to Willow Lane. And we both seemed to need a friend.

As Hope begins to confide in me, her fear that her attacker never left the area, appear to feel real as strange things start happening at Number 21 and her fears start to become my nightmare.

Now I’m looking over my shoulder. Someone here knows the truth about what happened in those woods and I’m starting to realise Willow Lane isn’t the safe haven I was searching for.

Reviews

[Janna (Bibliophile Mom) · Rating 2 out of 5]

21 Willow Lane delivers that classic villain‑gone‑mad energy and keeps the tension simmering throughout. I enjoyed the ride, but not as much as I hoped. While the twists were shocking and the premise intriguing, the story lacked the substance and originality I usually look for. As a thriller girlie who has read just about everything, this one lands in the “okay” category for me.

What Worked:
Fast, twisty pacing
Shocking moments
Classic villain energy

What Didn’t Fully Hit:
Lacked depth
Not very original
Didn’t stand out in a crowded genre

Overall, it’s a decent pick if you’re after a quick, entertaining thriller with familiar beats. It kept me guessing, but it didn’t leave a lasting impression.

[Kayl_may · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was my first time reading a book by Keri Beevis, and overall I found it to be a decent read.

The story is told from multiple viewpoints, which I always enjoy, as it allows you to see events unfold from different perspectives and helps build a fuller picture of what is going on. It also introduced an element of unreliable narrators, which I thought worked well and is always a great way to keep you guessing and on your toes.

I found this to be more of a slow burner, particularly in the earlier stages, and it wasn’t always the most gripping read. However, there was enough intrigue throughout to keep me engaged and wanting to see how everything would come together.

The pace picked up noticeably in the final third of the book, which made it a quicker and more compelling read towards the end. I thought the ending was good and wrapped things up well.

Overall, this was an easy and enjoyable read. It may have been a slower build than I expected, but I still enjoyed it and would definitely be interested in reading more from this author in the future.

Thank you to the Boldwood Books and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.

[Bo.reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Keri Beevis has quickly become a go-to author for me, so I was excited to get the chance to dive into an early copy of her latest release.

Seeking a fresh start, Camilla relocates to the picturesque village of Blakeney, where a twenty-year-old mystery involving the Pretty Corner Girls still lingers over the town.

This story had all the right ingredients I’m drawn to, particularly its quaint village setting, a decades-old case, and characters that genuinely have you looking at them sideways.

Camilla wasn’t the most distinctive protagonist for me, but her curiosity definitely helps drive the story, especially as she keeps pushing for answers about the past. Hope is one of those characters who keeps you guessing—it’s easy to sympathise with her initially, given her past, but there’s always a lingering sense that something isn’t quite right. I think the author does a great job of making you empathise with certain characters while still keeping you on edge, before gradually making you re-evaluate everything you thought you knew.

Some of the earlier foreshadowing made it fairly easy to gauge where the story was heading, and I correctly predicted a few of the reveals, which did take away some of the impact for me. I also felt the ending wrapped up a little too neatly, and I didn’t quite get the shock or thrill factor I’ve experienced with some of her other stories.

All in all, this was a solid mystery with plenty of suspenseful moments, even if it didn’t quite win me over. Keri Beevis is still an author I’ll keep going back to, and Every Little Breath remains my top pick, but I would recommend this to domestic thriller readers who enjoy a steady build of tension, atmospheric village settings, and characters that leave you narrowing your eyes in suspicion.

3.5⭐️

Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for this ARC.

Pages: 355

21 Willow Lane in the picturesque village of Blakeney is Camilla ’Cam’ Darrow’s ‘fresh start’ home after the break- up of her marriage to Dean. She decided with help from her best friend Sophie that it would be good for her to setter closer to her and her husband Will.

Twenty years ago, three teenagers: Bianca Fox, Hope Andrews, and Natalie Tolliver went into the woods as they hoped it would be fun but it turned into a nightmare. Later Bianca was found dead and Natalie vanished. Hope was the only one who came home.
Camilla accidentally meets Hope one day while driving in the village. She saw a young girl on a bicycle have a ‘close call’ and is nearly hit by a car. The girl wasn’t wearing helmet and was thrown from her bicycle. Camilla stops to help her and drives both her and her damaged bicycle to her home. The girl appears to be a young woman in her thirties and not a young girl. She isn’t talkative but does state her name is Hope.

Camilla soon comes to Hope’s aid again, and a tentative friendship is formed.
The story turns more to Hope and does get dark and creepy- So short chapters plus dark and creepy definitely had me reading -one more chapter!!

My thoughts ~
Yes I was cheering for Cam
Yes this was good
Yes the ending was satisfying!
Yes I will read another Keri Beevis

Review of ‘21 Willow Lane’ by Keri Beevis, due to be published on 22 May 2026 by  Boldwood Books.

Camilla Darrow is looking forward to her fresh start in her new home in Blakeney, 21 Willow Road.  Having been convinced to move close to her best friend Sophie and her husband Will, she’s got a new job and the opportunity to make new friends following her acrimonious divorce.

When Camilla happens across Hope Andrews when she falls off her bike, she tries to strike up a friendship, only to be met with hostility. Sophie tells her not to take it personally, she is like that with everyone, and soon learns that Hope is one of the Pretty Corner girls, the sole known survivor.

Despite this, Camilla soon comes to Hope’s aid again, and a tentative friendship is formed.  Hope doesn’t like Camilla’s other friends though, and her jealously spiking when local man Will becomes part of Camilla’s friendship group, with a dark past teased between the pair. 

This was a fast paced thriller with a gripping storyline and twists aplenty.  You quickly get acquainted with the main characters, with chapters carved out into Camilla and Hope’s points of view, interspersed with other backstories to get to know who is who, how they are connected and what secrets are being held. 

It ramps up a few notches for the final quarter of the book when the motives and true intentions are laid bare, turning on its head any instincts you hold earlier in the book to reveal something far more sinister. A recommended read.

[Britney Ireland · Rating 4 out of 5]

This particular novel marks my first foray into her bibliography, and based on this exceptional experience, I am already planning to delve into and read much more of her back catalog!

I am enthusiastically rating this book a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The overall experience was highly enjoyable, and I particularly loved the intricate and engaging storyline, the perfect, driving pacing, and the well-developed and relatable characters. This is a super fast-paced read, structured with short, punchy chapters, a format that brilliantly held my attention captive from the very first page to the last. The narrative was peppered with some truly great, unexpected twists that kept me guessing throughout.

My rating, while high, is just shy of a perfect five due to the conclusion. Throughout the final act, I honestly thought the ending was steering toward a more shocking or unpredictable direction, but ultimately, it resolved in a way that felt slightly predictable. That element of mild predictability is the specific reason for my 4-star rating. I was genuinely hoping for one more impactful, last-minute twist—that final, unforgettable jolt of surprise. Nevertheless, the ending was by no means a failure; it was a satisfactory and well-written conclusion, just not the completely blindsiding one I had mentally prepared for. Overall, this was a fantastic read that I highly recommend.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the Advanced Readers Copy!

Hope had been one of the Pretty Corner girls, she was the only one who came home. One was dead and the other vanished without a trace.

the story is told from Camilla and Hope's perspectives. Secrets are being kept, there's plenty of twists and the characters are well-developed. There was a creepy vibe surrounding Hope. I flirted back and forward with two suspects and luckily got one of them right. I was a little disappointed in the way the story ended. I really expected it to be a bit more mind blowing than it was. filled with mystery, suspense and intrigue.

[Yvonne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely adored this book. A story that began 20 years ago with the death of one girl, another missing and only one survivor.

Camilla moves into 21 Willow Lane. She has family close by and is now beginning the next part of her life as she comes to terms with being single. The house used to belong to the family of the missing girl from 20 years ago. The only survivor is Hope; she is withdrawn, doesn't have the best social skills, but then, given the circumstances of her past as a teen, it is hardly any wonder. The thing is, no one was ever caught, so the thought of the killer still being out there plays well into this story.

AS Camilla settles in, she befriends Hope, and they get on well. But as they grow friendlier, the fears, doubts and dread from Hope begin to form in Camilla's head. Little things start to happen, a broken window is put down to a local lad, but then other things happen.

This is a psychological thriller that plays on the mind and in the heads of the characters; suspicions, gossip, and opinions are all rife. It uses the sense of a neurotic mind, the sense of doubt, of being watched, things moving are all part of the story.

If you are looking for a tense thriller, with an old murder and mystery event, then this is one that I think you would want to have a look at. I thought it was brilliant and I would definitely recommend it.

[Ann · Rating 2 out of 5]

I did not find this book to be for me. I wasn't a hard finish to read. I wouldn't rate it one star because I didn't feel like I suffered through. But I felt lackluster at the end.

I enjoyed the premise of the book. Three teens in the woods. One dies, one disappears, and the other comes out alive but traumatized. I sensed I knew what was going to happen as each chapter unfolded. I guess the who behind what happened two the two girls. As I got further into, I guessed another detail [I don't want to give more than that due to a possible spoiler]. I guessed what happened to other characters.
There were breadcrumbs to try and lead us in another direction. It was almost immediately followed up with how this person is a good person and it can't be them.

The ending fell flat because it seemed predictable to me. And I love feeling intense emotion and being completely blindsided. I felt neither of these with this.

One thing I did enjoy, Camilla's emotional intelligence and ability to remain calm/logical. Also, not entering areas and instead backing out of the house and calling the police to investigate!

For me, I wouldn't recommend it openly. But I wouldn't actively dissuade someone from reading it.

Thank you NetGalley & Boldwood Books!

After her divorce, Camilla Darrow decides to move to the picturesque village of Blackney for a fresh start. She moves into 21 Willow Lane, and her friends don’t live that far away.
She is looking forward to her job as a Primary school teacher but that I a few weeks away. She wants to redecorate the house that seems quite outdated.
On her travels she meets Hope Andrews that has fallen off her bike. She tries to help her but at first is hostile towards her. The locals say that she is quite the loner and lives on her own. But it may be down to her being the only survivor of the pretty corner girls where she was the only survivor.
But several days later they meet again and soon they start forming a friendship. Happy days for Hope it been a long time on her own. But when Camilla’s friends started coming to see her Hope starts getting jealous and old history starts repeating itself.
I have read several books by Kerri Beevis now and they never seem to disappoint. 21 Willow Lane is no exception. This is a creepy atmospheric read about one’s loneliness turning into an obsession. It started at a medium pace but speed up towards the end. This is lots of twists that at times felt a bit unsettling. But I couldn’t stop turning the pages. 4 stars from me.

[Alison Taylor-Muhl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Having read a number of books by this author, I had high expectations for her latest offering – and I wasn’t disappointed! The story is well crafted and easy to get into: I liked Camilla from the start and was keen to see where the tale was going to take her. There is an underlying feeling of something not being quite from the beginning, which allowed the tension and creepy vibe to build at a good, steady pace.

The story is told from Camilla and Hope's perspectives, which keeps thigs fresh and allowed me to build my own opinion as to what had happened in the past, who was responsible and what the present would bring. Alongside Cam and Hope, the supporting characters are all well-written and believable, and it’s clear that a number of them are harbouring secrets. That coupled with plentiful twists, turns and red herrings, kept me engaged and keen to find out the truth… I did, however, feel the ending was a little rushed, in comparison to how the pace was ramped up in the preceding chapters.

All in all, this is a well-written book which has suspicion, mystery, and intrigue aplenty. Highly recommended.

[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Having tried, and failed, to get into 3 books after my last read I needed a book I could settle to and enjoy, as soon as saw this next on my list I KNEW would be a good read and it was!

A ‘creeping up on you’ thriller I would class this as, subtle in its devious characters and making me feel pity for folk I shouldn’t be as it bit by bit started to make me question characters and what had and was happening

21 Willow Lane has a history, a dark one and when Camilla, wanting a fresh start, moves in she is aware of it…..just not how it will affect her life in the coming weeks, nor the people she meets will try and destroy her!

I loved the setting of Blakeney, sounds idyllic and also loved Tara amongst other characters we meet and get to know but mostly loved the suspense and trickle of unease as the story started to play out and you got that feeling all was not as it seemed

As always brilliant story telling from the million selling author and great when you know an author and their book will stop the run of ‘did not finishes’

Fab read

[Regina · Rating 4 out of 5]

This dark, ominous thriller rated very high on my creepy scale. The hair on the back of my neck stood up on numerous occasions and I loved every minute of my heebie jeebies! I was hooked right from the start and drawn into this crazy, suspenseful tale that had me chewing my nails off. You couldn't trust anyone! The possible suspects were endless, and I kept going back and forth trying to guess who could have done what. I really enjoyed that I had no idea. The reveal wasn't shocking, but I was still a little surprised. The ending could have been more dramatic though. I felt like it was cut short and the intensity that led up to this point simply fell flat. It was definitely an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride; I just wanted more action at the end. A great addition to this author's works! I think readers are going to love this one. Highly recommend!

Twenty years ago, three teenagers went into the woods. One was found dead. One vanished without a trace. Hope was the only one who came home. Now she has a new friend – Camilla. How will all this end?
As Camilla spends time at her new house at 21 Willow Lane and strange things start to happen, she realizes someone is watching, waiting, and willing to protect her from finding out the truth about past events. The seeming idyllic village contracts with the dark history lurking there. The gradual unraveling of what really happened all those years ago keeps you turning pages and making it hard, with all the twists, to predict the truth. The short chapters make it really easy to read in a short time. If you like small-town mysteries, dark pasts, and secretive characters, this is for you. Another great one by Keri Beevis!

[Laura Briars · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this. The story was well written, easy to get into, and had such an interesting plotline that kept me wanting to know exactly where it was going.
Keri is brilliant at creating that unsettling, something-isn’t-quite-right feeling, and there were definitely moments where the tension started creeping in nicely. I liked the way the story unfolded and the mystery kept me hooked throughout.
The only thing that let it down slightly for me was the ending. It felt a little too rushed compared to the build-up, and I would have loved a bit more time with those final reveals and consequences. Because of that, it lost a star for me.
Still, it was a gripping read overall and one I’m glad I picked up.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and Keri Beevis for the opportunity to read this.

Title: 21 Willow Lane
Author: Keri Beevis
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟
Publication Date: May 22, 2026

The prologue was perfection! Loved it! Unfortunately, the rest of the book didn't match the excitement of the prologue. I just kept reading and reading, wondering when the "thriller" stuff was going to start.

Approximately half way through the book, the pace finally picked up and it never stopped! The storyline was very predictable and the conclusion quite obvious.

I found Camilla and Hope's characters to be very unlikable. I had such a difficult time connecting with both of them. Horrible communicators who are judgemental and annoying.

All in all, this book is worth your time, especially if you are looking for a quick and easy read.

“21 Willow Lane” by Keri Beevis is officially my favorite book by Keri Beevis. I absolutely loved it. It’s packed with mystery and suspense from start to finish, and it completely pulled me in and deserves more than 5 stars.
Willow Lane has a past that refuses to stay buried. Twenty years ago, three teenagers entered the woods and only one came back and someone knows what happened.
The atmosphere in this book is so well done. That small, seemingly peaceful village setting feels eerie and tense the deeper you get into the story. The suspense builds steadily, with secrets, paranoia, and twists that kept me hooked the entire time.
If you love dark, twisty thrillers with buried secrets and a creeping sense of danger, this one is a must-read.

[Booklover BEV · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hidden secrets in this psychological thriller.
Some friendships and secrets should stay buried forever.
In the Norfolk village of Blakeney, it a fresh start for divorced Camilla Darrow 21 Willow Lane is just perfect for her, meeting and friending Hope Andrews and learning about the tragedy twenty years ago and what happened in the pretty corner woods, Hope convides in Camilla about loss of friendships, and Camilla is by her side as a friend in need.
Then strange things start to happen to her property who is out there doing this? and why?.
A fully twisted story to really get your teeth into.
To keep reading one more chapter, that will totally freak you out.
This author's work never doubts me and her book get better and better.
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

Beevis always delivers a tantalizing psychological thriller. Most people want a change of scenery after a divorce. Camilla finds a new home on 21 Willow Lane in the Norfolk village of Blakeney.

She starts to feel unsettled and she thinks she is being watched. What do the neighbors know about her past? Why is someone messing with her new home. Is her home a mystery in itself! So many questions and concerns. You should be able to trust those around you and when you DON’T it might be time to consider another MOVE!

The village has a history of its own and the twists start to happen. The short chapters and intense scenes kept me turning the pages.

Thanks to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for providing this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Camilla is newly divorced and has moved to a new town and moved into the house where a girl who went missing in her teens used to live. She becomes friends with the strange now adult friend of the girl who went missing and she starts to have her house vandalized.

This book was pretty predictable for me. There were really only about 3 people who could have been guilty and I wasn't shocked by the outcome. I also thought that the story didn't really go anywhere for awhile. Camilla's house kept getting vandalized and they kept blaming the kid down the road. The characters were pretty thin. It was just ok.

Camilla, after her divorce, needed a new start she moved into a home that once owned by hope friend she helped hope after being tormented by a group of boys Hope was not friendly they soon become friends. ..there is lots of twists.only 4 stars due to the ending for me.

"I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

Camilla moves to Blakeney after her divorce to be close to friends as she has no family. She meets Hope who has been a loner after being attacked as a teenager, one friend killed and another missing. Camilla meets Nick and he and Hope are both hiding secrets from that night. I was guessing the whodunnit throughout this book. Just when I thought I had it figured out one of the characters would do something to make me suspect them. It’s a good story with an edge of your seat ending.

[Mya Joan Emma · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was such a gripping and atmospheric read. The setting had a quiet, eerie tension that kept me hooked, and I loved how the story slowly unraveled its secrets. Keri Beevis does a great job building suspense and making you question what’s really going on behind closed doors.

While I really enjoyed the twists and overall story, there were a few moments where the pacing dipped slightly for me. Still, it didn’t take away from how engaging and addictive the book was. Definitely worth the read if you enjoy a suspenseful, mysterious thriller!

20 years ago 3 friends were attacked. 1 murdered, 1 missing and a lone survivor, Hope, who strikes up a friendship with newcomer Cam who has recently moved in to the home of the missing girl. When strange things start happening in her new home Cam wonders who can she really trust.

Another 5* read from Keri Beevis. The author has an incredible talent at reeling you in from the first chapter and keeping you reading until the final chapter. The saying 'just one more chapter' feels perfectly apt when describing books written by Beevis.

I love her books and this was a winner! It begins in 2006 and vacillates in time as we see Hope, Bianca, and Natalie--three friends--who each have their own agenda that the others know nothing about. Newcomer, Camilla moves to town and meets handsome carpenter, Nick but then strange things begin to happen to her house and she realizes this town harbors more secrets than she knows and they may be deadly! It's a whirlwind of a ride that moves quickly and surprisingly!
