Our House

Louise Candlish

3.45 AVERAGE


Fi comes home to her home to discover people moving in....because her soon to be ex- husband has SOLD it. The story is told through both Fiona's and Bram's (the husband) point of view as well as an external narrative. The timeline is very well crafted and the twists are creative and unpredictable. I really liked this one, it didn't drag anywhere and was interesting and surprising up until the very last line.

Thank you First to Read for letting me read and review this book!

OHMYGOD!

The twists. The turns. The weaving of it all. THAT FINAL TWIST.
Wow.
Just... wow.

Well played, Louise Candlish.

Good start, nice twist but long winded

Received as an ARC from Net Galley. Suspenseful psychological thriller. Great twists in the end. I liked how the story was told from multiple perspectives and alternating time lines.
mysterious slow-paced

An interesting mix of true crime podcast and flashbacks, but I felt it was too drawn out. The ending made me laugh out loud though.

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

As some others have said, this is a little long for what it is but it's very readable and I flew through it in 24hrs. The mystery and the twists were good, I think I only guessed one of them so that's not bad.

I listened to this one on audio and whilst not my favourite it was still an easy enough listen.

Exteeeemely slow. And not really worth it to be honest.

This wasnt a bad read. The book cover was what got me wanting to read Our House. The story was interesting and was full of twists and turns but it started to get repetitive and it lost me with the plot. It was just too slow for me
