barnsey 's review for:
You Let Me In
by Lucy Clarke
Elle rents out her spectacular clifftop house on Airbnb while she travels to France to guest-speak on a writing retreat. Upon returning home she has a strange feeling something's not quite right but can't put her finger on it - the house feels different and she begins to imagine someone's watching her.
I've read lots of psychological thrillers this year - some good and some, well, not so good. You Let Me In was great and it's put author Lucy Clarke on my radar.
The plot was impressive and didn't give much away until the very end. I love it when a book has a killer twist in the closing chapters and that's exactly what this had.
It maintained a suspenseful atmosphere throughout and occasionally chilled me to core. The thought of a stranger invading your home and leaving discreet 'evidence' of their presence is not a pleasant one. It was fabulous edge-of-the-seat stuff!
The story is told from the perspectives of Elle and the person watching her. There are flashbacks to Elle's younger years and her time at university. It's an often-used formula but one that I personally believe works well.
It was very enjoyable and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone who loves a chilling psychological thriller.
My thanks to Lucy Clarke, HarperCollins and NetGalley for providing a review copy of this book.
