Publisher's summary

THEIR PERFECT HOME – OR THEIR WORST NIGHTMARE?

A FRESH START
Ellie knows she has found her dream home – number six Moss Lane. The place she and Tom can settle down, raise their new baby and start again.

A DARK SECRET
But why do their new neighbours think they’re so brave for moving in? Why are Ellie’s keys never where she left them? And why can she hear strange noises in the night that Tom can’t?

A LIVING NIGHTMARE
Suddenly their dream house no longer feels so perfect and when Ellie learns the truth about number six’s dark past – a truth that Tom has been keeping secret from her – she no longer knows who she can trust.

She thought they’d finally found their forever home, but will it tear them apart instead?

A gripping new psychological thriller that will have your heart racing. You won’t be able to put it down! Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Jackie Kabler.

A great start…

This book has immense potential.
Unfortunately it doesn’t deliver, it never evolves into a well developed, interesting story.
It becomes so repetitive, it’s truly the same thing over and over again and really much ado about nothing in the end.
It’s not scary enough, or clever enough, it’s so very middle of the road mediocre.
And this constant “where’s the baby?” and “am I going crazy?” thing just drones on and on chapter after chapter, it’s never ending.
Some dirt on the floor, some missing keys? Not scary, not even a little bit.
The characters aren’t well developed enough to maintain one’s interest either.
The backstory involving Mia, or the backstory involving the house are so two dimensional and that made me quite sad because so much could’ve been done there.
This is a book I won’t be reading again.
Such unused potential…

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
