Summary

The psychological thriller from the author of #1 bestsellers The Magpies and Because She Loves Me.

It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime, a final adventure before settling down. But after a perfect start, an encounter with a young couple on a night train forces Daniel and Laura to cut their dream trip short and flee home.

Back in London, Daniel and Laura vow never to talk about what happened that night. But as they try to fit into their old lives again, they realise they are in terrible danger—and that their nightmare is just beginning...

Dare to go into the house and face yourself

Daniel and Laura are a young couple undergoing a trip of a lifetime before settling down to a life of domestic bliss. Their plans however are brutally disrupted during a train journey in Romania and the discovery of something so terrible that it threatens their sanity and even their lives.
This is a tightly plotted drama that steers off the predictable route. I expected this to be a ‘stalker in the woods’ type story but it is actually mainly set in London and depicts the couple’s struggle to return to some sort of normality. Mark Edwards is proving to be very good at writing grippingly paced thrillers based around very ordinary and likeable people. Admittedly the plot stretches to being a bit far fetched in places, but this is more than made up by the truly horrific situation it describes and the excellent twist at the end.
James Langton delivers a sound and subtle performance and I would be more than happy to listen to him again. Overall I thought this was thoroughly absorbing from start to finish and was one of those stories that was very difficult to tear myself away from.

Annoying

The story should have been a good one but I found the characters annoying and a bit pathetic. I didn't really feel much if any empathy with them. This wasn't helped by the narrator who I found very irritating. I did finish it but had guessed the ending and was glad to get to the end. Not one I will repeat and won't be looking for another by this author or narrator I'm afraid.

Irritating narration

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Probably not. The story started off well, but didn't really go anywhere, and the narration was irritating.

How could the performance have been better?

Not putting on silly fake 'foreign' accents or squeaky girl voices for the different characters.

Did Follow You Home inspire you to do anything?

No

A true work of art

Where does Follow You Home rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Excellent, a really terrifying page turner.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Follow You Home?

The ending was a total surprise.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The cottage in the woods with the babies made me quite emotional.

Any additional comments?

Daniel and Laura choose to go on the trip of a lifetime before planning to settle down in the UK and start a family. They end up on a train in Romania where a sequence of events that are for the most part out of their control, take them down a spiralling path to great horrors. When they return to England, neither remains untouched, and their lives are changed forever.
This is a disturbing horror with a fast-paced structure based on tension and fear. The characters are flawed in all the right ways, making them realistic and three dimensional, and the events that unfold are timed to perfection leaved the reader completely chilled to the bone. The twists that happen periodically throughout the book are unpredictable, leaving me to believe that this novel is a true work of art. I highly recommend this book.

Great listen

Would you consider the audio edition of Follow You Home to be better than the print version?

I haven't seen a printed version of the book, but I can say that the narrator's voice was fantastic and can lull the visual imagery of the story as if watching it on screen.

Unusual tale that draws you in!

Any additional comments?

This was certainly a well thought out tale, with great characters. It did 'go on a bit' though, leaving my mind wandering at times. I feel it would have been better with tighter editing.

Unusual story for me.

Not normally the sort of book I would read, however I found it a good read. Was a bit confused as to why the people didn't report the incident, but that it the whole point of the story.
