The Intruders

De: Louise Jensen

Narrado por: Helen Keeley

They were told to leave. They should have listened.

The perfect opportunity…

A manor house available rent-free to house-sitters is an offer too good to miss for Cass and James, who have been saving for a deposit on their own home for so long.

Although it had been abandoned for almost thirty years, after a home invasion left almost all the inhabitants dead, it is an amazing chance for them to build their future.

But is it worth the price?

Shortly after moving in things take a sinister turn. Objects disappear and turn up in odd places, the clock always stops at the same time, the house is strangely oppressive and sometimes it feels like Cass and James are not alone.

Newington House may have bad energy, and a dark reputation. But surely there’s no reason for history to repeat itself, is there?

Great read

I liked the twists and turns of this book, once you thought you figured it out something happened and you realized you were wrong. Fast read that I couldn’t put down.

Surprise

There were a couple of times when the story went back and forth from the past and present that I got lost and had to go back and reread , but overall it was really good .

Could have been so much better

A deep psychological web of regrets, guilt, and shame forms the heart of this story and is compelling at times. However, unrealistic coincidences, forced twists, and some out-of-character behavior—especially toward the ending—undermined the overall impact.

I love the book. I wasn't expecting the ending to be as it was. can't wait to read more books

Depressing

If you want to read a sad depressing book than this is your book..yes it’s got a lot of twists and the creep factor is there, but I didn’t care for the story..I wish I’d never read it.. the torture part was just disgusting.. I’d definitely would gone a different way with the story

I tried. I wanted to enjoy it.

After quite a few attempts, I gave up on “The Intruders” by Louise Jensen and narrated by Helen Keeley. Unfortunately, i found myself daydreaming while listening. While I appreciate Jensen’s creativity and Keeler’s vocal skills, this one did not keep my interest and I gave up. However, I will still look for more by this duo. As my editor, friend and mentor once said, “If everyone liked the same things, the world would indeed be a boring one.” RIP Dan Di Leo
