Overall I enjoyed this but it felt a little disjointed in the middle, with random flashbacks that I wasn't sure added much to the story. There are some really tense moments and the build up to the ending was well executed!
This was my first book by T.M Logan and I was mildly entertained with this one.
It is your typical new house comes with deadly secrets trope, but it was well crafted. I didn't really care for the MMC, I found his decision making to me quite lacking in the basic commonsense department. Though the blurb indicates that his "secrets", would place his family in danger, I didn't expect the "secret'' to be of such a mundane matter. I expected something much more complex and darker, however as mentioned before, this was my first book by this author, so I didn't know what to expect.
Throughout the book they're a series of revelations and discoveries as our MMC and crew draw closer to the truth, but nothing felt exciting, and I found myself struggling to keep reading. I don't want to use the word bored because I wouldn't necessarily say it was a boring book; it just didn't capture my attention like how I expect my thrillers to.
What I did like though, was how many suspects they were, and the many different directions the author was steering us in. The way he subtly leaves the antagonist lingering in the background the entire time was brilliantly done.
Overall, it was a decent thriller, and I will be exploring more of his backlist.

#audiobook the fact that it was set in Nottingham made it a bit more interesting. It’s fun recognising all the differents places and landmarks mentioned. The storyline itself was ok. The main character was a tad annoying, with all his blunders.
