‘Intense, intricate and packed with intrigue...a thrilling and addictive read.’ B.A. Paris It seems too good to be true... When struggling writer Sebastian finds a room to let in a palatial Hampstead residence he cannot believe his luck. The rent is ridiculously cheap and he immediately feels a connection with his beautiful widowed landlady, Adriana. It is. Things take a dark turn when he finds out what happened to the last lodger. Could this be why the house is a fortress of security, and why Adriana seems so fragile? Adriana doesn’t want to talk about the death and sadness that seem to follow her wherever she goes and Sebastian has secrets of his own. Now someone is watching their every move and there is nowhere to hide. This house of light becomes a dark nightmare as the threat ramps up - what does the watcher want? And how far will they go to get it? A gripping, twisty thriller perfect for fans of B.A. Paris, Shari Lapena and Lucy Foley.

I‘ve been reading lots of crime, from authors speaking at the Crime Festival that I‘m going to in 3 weeks‘ time. That‘s the only reason I hesitate to give this one a so-so, because I‘m going to see them and I don‘t want them to hate me! 🤣

I mean, this was fine - just very slow (the lodger didn‘t even move in until around 25% through).

There were two twists at the end, neither of which I saw coming but one I appreciated and one I didn‘t.
