Summary

A BRAND-NEW darkly addictive psychological thriller with the most shocking twists you’ll listen to this year, from a bestselling author.

They say blood is thicker than water. I say blood is just harder to wash off your hands.

My name’s Kimberley. I’m twenty-five. I have epilepsy, a seizure alert dog named Muffin, and a job I love as a senior housekeeper in one of London’s top hotels. I’m used to being invisible. Overlooked. Safe.

But that was before Jennifer Clifton checked in. She’s rich, powerful, terrifyingly calm — and she asks for me by name.

She offers me my dream job, working in her exclusive hotel in the Scottish Highlands. It’s more money than I ever imagined.

There’s just one catch: Don’t open the door to Room 21.

How hard can that be?

But something is wrong in this hotel. The guests give me the creeps. The staff whisper behind closed doors. And that room — the one I promised not to enter — calls to me.

I took this job for a better life. Now I’m trapped in a nightmare.

Warning: This book contains dark and disturbing themes.

This addictive thriller packed with chilling secrets is perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, Freida McFadden, Mark Edwards, John Marrs and Jane E. James.

If you’re looking for a thriller that leans into the strange, the unsettling, and the downright disturbing things people are capable of, this one delivers. It begins innocently enough as we meet our protagonist, who works at a hotel and has clearly not had an easy life so far. When an unexpected opportunity appears, she decides to take a chance - only to realize very quickly that this job is anything but ordinary.

Within a few days, she begins to question her decision. What happens behind those closed doors is not only unsettling but forces her to confront her own regrets. As she starts asking questions and we learn what truly takes place in this hidden world, the story becomes increasingly disturbing. It also raises an uncomfortable but fascinating question: Is it safer to let certain people indulge their darkest urges in a controlled environment, or is ignorance the only way to preserve one’s sanity?

I enjoyed this one. Some of what was happening became obvious early on. That didn't take away from having fun for me. Listening to what was happening added a different layer to the story and the narrator did a really good job to bring across what was happening and how disturbing some of it was.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

That was a bit disturbing and I'm here for it

It’s ok for free, but a lot of huge leaps of poetic licence and at the very end the writer seems to have forgotten that a DNA test was relevant earlier a few chapters ago.
It’s ok for free but would have annoyed me if I’d payed for it.

In the end it didn’t make sense!

yes, reviews tell you to listen at your own risk, and yes, there are bad people out there. but I nearly didnt listen to this story as reviews said about sick behaviour, but it was not as bad as it sounded. yes, its horrible, but the writer wrote it well, and the characters and voices were planned very well. I agree with others, I would love to hear a second part. especially as the way it played out in the last chapter.

different story to my library list, but I enjoyed it

I am glad I stuck with listening to the end. Lots of twists throughout the book.

Initially Struggled with the depravity and nearly gave up listening

I was a little nervous about this book as it came with several warnings, but it was so good and compelling and I loved it. It was well read and intriguing. I couldn’t put it down (take my EarPods out).
Excellent, especially for a freebie 👍

Horribly Brilliant!
