The Manor House by Gilly Macmillan

4.0

Looking for a suburban thriller that’s White Locus meets Nine Perfect Strangers? The Manor House is the perfect blend! The main characters, Tom and Nicole, are fabulously over-the-top rich after winning the lottery and are trying to fit in with their wealthy neighbors. They have just built a giant glass barn in a secluded area. Their closest neighbors, Sasha and Olly, live in a traditional English manor, fit with features like a Great Hall and servants’ quarters. The two homes are almost as much a part of the book as the main characters, and their descriptions bring them to life. Similarly, the two couples are fleshed out so well that each new twist feels like a true shock.
This book is definitely a thriller, with a suspicious death happening within the first few chapters. And as the death is investigated, the intensity goes even higher. This will definitely keep your attention with its quick pace and sneaky twists!
Thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for the advanced copy!
