The Resident by David Jackson
4.0

“There’s a serial killer on the run and he’s hiding in your house.”

Well that’s unsettling!
We all love to read about a serial killer, but maybe not one secretly hiding in our home. That is the draw of this book.

Not since Danny Boyle’s 1994 movie, ‘Shallow Grave’ have I been as concerned about the contents of my attic!

We read from the perspective of Thomas Brogan, the serial killer. A man who is sadistic, troubled and oddly likeable. Every resident in this novel is fully actualised and fleshed out enough for you to really feel the drama from both sides of the story.

This was an absolute page turner and I flew through it. a well deserved 4 stars
