My name is Amber Fraser. I''ve just moved in at Number 40, Lime Park Road. You''ll think of me as a loving wife, a thoughtful neighbour and a trusted friend.

When Christy and Joe Davenport are handed the keys to Number 40 on picture-perfect Lime Park Road, it should be a dream come true.

As her curiosity begins to give way to obsession, Christy finds
