Went in expecting a house with a mysterious past or a buyer with a secret. Definitely was not expecting
a psychopathic 10 year old
. I suspected from
the first SET talk that the presenter was not Millie but all my theories were incorrect.

I really enjoyed the mix of big buildups (e.g., the entire plot) with smaller twists (
Peter being the psychopath rather than Meddie
) and shocking revelations just thrown in with no warning
(Peter casually killing Tom)

Was a bit longer than it needed to be in the middle but the ending made it worthwhile. I read so many thrillers that I immediately forget but know this one will stick with me!

This was pretty good.. A good, quick domestic thriller.
