The Couple at No. 9
by Claire Douglas
4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me!
This is my first Claire Douglas book and it is safe to say that it did not disappoint.
This story follows a young couple, Saffy and Tom, who have just moved into Saffy’s Grandmother’s old house that they did not know existed. Not until the Grandmother, Rose Gray, had to move to a nursing home due to a diagnosis of dementia.
Saffy’s mother, Lorna, had moved away to Spain. She has Saffy when she was only 16. Saffy, now 24, is pregnant with her own child, renovating her house, ready for the baby.
But as the builders are digging up the garden for the kitchen extension, two bodies are discovered.
This then becomes a police investigation, starting with questioning her Grandmother. She lived in the house between the 1970s-1980s. As she is being questioned by the police, she starts to remember more and more, and begins to unfold the ugly truth.
This book is addictive, emotional, and will make you feel fury like no other, definitely worth the read.
The setting, from different character perspectives was incredibly done, and the flashbacks to the past added to the depth of the story.
From discovering bodies to broken relationships, you will definitely want to add this book to your TBR!
