Our House by Louise Candlish
4.0

This one had me hooked from the first few pages. Fiona Lawson and her husband are separated but in order to minimize disruptions for their children they have agreed to “birds nest” custody agreement in which the kids live in their house full time and Fi and Bram take turns staying with them there. When Fi arrives at the house after a few days out of town she discovers a new family moving into her house and no sign of her ex, her kids, or her belongings.

From there the story moves back and forth between Fiona attempting to find out what has happened and a document from Bram that tells his side of what led up to this situation.

There are so many twists and turns in this one it will make you feel like you’re on a roller coaster ride in the dark.

Beginning with Fiona discovering strangers moving into her house and moving back and forth between present day events and a gradual reveal of let up to this makes for an interesting thriller. Candlish doles out the pieces of the story gradually with several surprises along the way. Just when I thought I had everything figured out she’d slip in another reveal to keep me guessing. I enjoyed the ride with this one.
