I enjoyed this thriller - it managed to keep me engrossed for a few hours until I finished it and I almost felt anxiety whilst reading it. There were sections when Adam was walking around the house trying to find the intruder where I actually say and held my breath which is a good read for me!

This novel is an especially suspenseful, it's creepy right from the start and the dial on the chill factor keeps getting turned up higher and higher.
There's a good mix of the deeply weird, and you find yourself sitting also asking an increasing amount of questions and there is an ever increasing sense of paranoia and constant questioning of who can be trusted.

I did sit throughout the book guessing many MANY different names as to who the big bad was and I actually was surprised by who it turned out to be.

I would recommend this as a thriller read for someone if not just to read a different author than the usual.

A good book as TMLogan's always are, but this one was predictable. Still, I enjoyed it!

I did enjoy this one, but not as much as some of the authors other work. It was suspenseful and did keep my gripped, but honestly there were just too many characters involved and I think the story went just a little too deep to the point of being a little confusing. Maybe it was because I listened to it, I just got lost. The killer was a surprise, but only because they are barely mentioned and not really a relevant party. Some might think this makes for the best villain as the most unsuspecting character, but I just felt a little let down.

I would highly recommend the audio, which is read by Richard Armitage and one of my favourite actors!

One of my better reads this year. Always enjoy T M Logan and glad I got round to reading this one.

Felt some ends could have been tied in neater bows, but overall satisfying enough even if felt a bit... 'tadaaa' with not enough explanation. Perhaps just me. The turn out made some form of sense but lacked a little something.

First third of the book was speed read as it felt so tense! This pace slowed a little... But still keen to carry on and finish.

Police were useless and very frustrating mind!

Would recommend.
