Summary
When Philippa spots the bungalow, it's love at first sight—and she is filled with the sense of safety and warmth whenever she's there. She's not a believer in the supernatural, unlike her best friend, Niamh, but she has to admit there is a energy about the bungalow, a vibrancy that fills her with joy.
Her boyfriend, Ryan, is an angry waste of space, a compulsive liar, and petty criminal. He's not frightened of anything, whether living or dead.
This is not your house: Roger and Vera have been married for years. Everything is a slog, everything is a burden, to Roger, anyway. Having to spend the majority of his life living with his elderly mother-in-law is enough to make anyone bitter. Vera puts up with her husband, even though he doesn't hear the strange noises in the house.The everyday tedium continues until Roger devises a way to get rid of his mother-in-law.

A thoroughly enjoyable read.
This is a book of two halves. One of Vera and her abusive husband Roger then the next of Philippa, her best friend Niamh but also the nasty new boyfriend Ryan.
I really grieved for Vera and her horrible life. I was cheering on Philippa till Ryan came into her life then I was rooting for her to dump him. Both Roger and Ryan were despicable humans but there were hints at where things went wrong for them to became the people they were. Layla was such a sweet dog despite what Ryan put her thru.
I really enjoyed the writing and especially with Niamh being trans handled in a sensitive way but also that was just a layer to her character and not her whole identity. Despite the author being a male he wrote the female characters really well (all the characters) and really understood and explained people's motivations. He made me care about the characters and the plot was really good. I didn't think it was going to go where it went. A thoroughly enjoyable read
