It was alright, maybe a bit one dimensional & formulaic. Couldn’t work out who’d done it, but wasn’t particularly bothered. Not a bad story but didn’t move me.

Adam Wylie and his family are excited to move into their dream home, a large Victorian house in an affluent  neighbourhood. Their excitement soon diminishes when Adam discovers a concealed room containing peculiar items: a Rolex watch, a scarf, an old mobile phone, a dog collar and a key. His curiosity about these items sets off a change of events that jeopardizes his whole family’s safety. 

A great, fast paced book with loads of twists and turns. I didn’t particularly like any of the characters, and found myself shouting at the book a few times over Adams questionable decisions, but story had me gripped and I found it hard to put down. 
The ending tied everything together and it was an ending I didn’t see coming.

Book Group pick.

Compulsive read but an absolutely moronic protagonist! Infuriating.
