And this is where we begin to get to know Ted and understand what his life is currently like. We also follow a young woman known as Dee who has moved in to a house next to Ted's in order to spy on him, believing he is the man behind the abduction of her sister many years prior. The Last House on Needless Street revolves around a man known as Ted Bannerman, who lives alone with his cat and occasionally his daughter when she visits.

For that reason, I'll try to keep it mostly vague plot- and character-wise while still telling you what I can about this story. This is a particularly difficult book to review because it feels very dependent on the reader not knowing anything and being allowed to come to their own conclusions and make their own discoveries. This is the best and most engaging psychological thriller that I have read in a while and I simply couldn't get enough of the twists and turns that Ward carefully included throughout that slowly guides the reader towards an unforgettable ending. I have been struggling to stay focused on books (or anything, really) lately, but The Last House on Needless Street had me absolutely hooked and struggling to put it down. The Last House on Needless Street is a weird book, to say the least, and I loved every minute of it. An unspeakable secret binds them together, but when a new neighbor moves in next door, what is buried out among the birch trees may come back to haunt them all.
