Started skow for me but once it picked up it went quick. Some of the twists were obvious others were surprising!

I liked this book a lot, but I guessed the plot twist near the middle of the story. Maybe 3.5 stars.

I don’t read many thrillers so when I do I find them really exciting & hard to put down.
The first half of The Couple at no. 9 is a pacy page-turner, the premise is really spooky and you know the plot could go off in any number of different directions.
I found the second half slightly harder to get my head around & the pace is also a lot slower. There are so many characters (including double identities) to get a grasp on & by the end I found some of the scenarios rather unbelievable (specifically little Lorna accepting her change her mother without question).
However, the tension builds really well and some chapters had me almost hiding behind cushions (I’m a lightweight) especially when Daphne uses Sean to imitate Victor.
All in all a really gripping read & I look forward to reading more by Claire Douglas.
