About this listen

As soon as we open the door to our beautiful new home, I sense their presence . . . the couple who lived here before us.

They’ve left things behind, as if on purpose, for us to find. First, there is the mysterious diary that ends too abruptly, followed by pictures of a couple in their thirties, just like us. Tired-looking parents with two small children. Who are they?

This is the best book I’ve listened to in a while. Narration is excellent, really captures the characters. But the story is so twisty you’ll find it difficult to second guess or third guess in fact don’t just listen & enjoy.

The twists

Quite enjoyed this on the whole but I could spot the main plot twist coming a mile off. I found it quite frustrating in parts. The ending felt rushed and a lot of questions unresolved.

A bit predictable

Unconvinced by the characters. Awful story. Narrator for Rachel sounds robotic. Don’t know why I stuck with it.

Awful

Ending felt a little rushed but overall very enjoyable read, the author definitely has a way with words.

Great story-telling
