This continues throughout part one of the book as Jess and Pete move from London, after a home invasion, to Maple House in Suffolk. Jess also became questionable and I would be hoarse if I had kept shouting at her.

I devoured it, taking in every word while being fully immersed in this spine-tingling novel. Everything felt neglected, the house, the garden and even more so her character. The change of narration gave a new perspective but it also created a loss of the creepy tension that was so prevalent at the start.

I enjoyed the twists and turns. That barn, those trees, and the parents at the school gate - what a lonely and claustrophobic setting for a newbie to the area. An easy reading solid thriller that had a perfect setting and plenty of chill for a winter read. The occurrences in the house left me unsettled and I truly felt for Jess and the children.
