Publisher's summary

In this thrilling novel from bestselling author John Marrs, a young couple’s house hides terrible secrets—and not all of them are confined to the past.

Mia and Finn are busy turning a derelict house into their dream home when Mia unexpectedly falls pregnant. But just when they think the house is ready, Mia discovers a shocking message scored into a skirting board: I WILL SAVE THEM FROM THE ATTIC. Following the clue up into the eaves, the couple make a gruesome discovery: their home was once a real-life murder house, with the evidence still concealed within the four walls.

In the wake of their traumatic discovery, the baby arrives and Mia can’t shake her fixation with the monstrous crimes that happened right above them. Tormented by the terrible things she saw, she is desperate to dig into the past to find answers.

Secrecy shrouds the mystery of the attic, but when shards of a dark truth start to emerge, Mia realises the danger is terrifyingly present. She is prepared to do anything to protect her family—but will the previous tenants stop her from discovering their secret?

Good but sometimes hard to follow

It is a bit choppy but a good listen over all. I would recommend it

Too much

I liked the book and had to keep listening but the ending annoyed me. It was just over the top and maybe I’m just one of those people who want a happier ending.

Great Writing and Gripping Storyline

Amidst all of the sophomoric writing that is clogging up the thriller genre these days, this was so refreshing to come across.

This was my first John Marrs book and it won’t be my last. The writing was great, the character development was well thought out and the story really pulled me in. The narration was also wonderful - love the accents!

It is quite dark, so definitely not for the faint of heart, and - suspend your disbelief slightly, but 5/5 stars for me!
