A review by medicasali
The Couple at Number 9 by Claire Douglas
3.0
A free home isn't always the best deal. What price would you pay for a cozy cottage in the Cotswolds, perfect for you, your husband, and your soon-to-be newborn...if it meant you would be sharing the space with a few dead bodies and more family secrets than you can keep count of? I mean if we're being honest this still sounds like a great deal to me and I'm ready to move in. But I am glad that Saffy, the main character, was the one going through all this drama and not me.
This book gives a whole new meaning to the twisty thriller and has me craving another by this author just to get a similar thrill. The suspense is steadily built from page 1 and it's the type of book that will have you looking for excuses to read just to find out what happens next. Once the first twist comes along, there is no turning back, and it's not long before the next twist appears. In some ways, it's hard to keep track of all the turns, but it makes for a really entertaining ride.
Most of the characters in this story are very likable and you'll find yourself pausing to consider what you would do in their shoes. I do wish there was more character development of the main villain as we don't get much of an understanding of why they did what they did. All in all, this is a solid thriller that's quick to read and enjoyable to the end.
