Summary
There's a serial killer on the run
And he's hiding in your house.
Thomas Brogan is a serial killer. With a trail of bodies in his wake and the police hot on his heels, it seems like Thomas has nowhere left to hide. That is until he breaks into an abandoned house at the end of a terrace on a quiet street. And when he climbs up into the loft, he realises that he can drop down into all the other houses through the shared attic space.
That's when the real fun begins. Because the one thing that Thomas enjoys even more than killing is playing games with his victims - the lonely old woman, the bickering couple, the tempting young newlyweds. And his new neighbours have more than enough dark secrets to make this game his best one yet....
Do you fear the resident? Soon you'll be dying to meet him.

A different take - loved it
I really enjoyed the setting for this book, don’t want to give too much away but it’s a very different take on a serial killer - and considering how many of these I listen to I was still surprised as it went through.
Definitely recommended!

A true rambling
A very strange book. Not really sure of the point and appears to be a rambling monologue account of a crazed killer. Intriguing read but not his best and not as scary as described. Best sticking to DS Nathan series.

Strange insight into a weird mind
Wantex to keep listening because it was so fast paced and very strange, quite scary in places if you get in to the flow.

Didn’t hold the attention
It was narrated well enough but the story was very simplistic and held no surprises, drudged along with no twists or anything to add to where it started. A bit of mindless gore lacking a plot. Save your credit.

Very funny and well read
I really enjoyed this book. The interaction between the main character and his consciousness is hilarious and the plot terrifying and amusing at the same time. Would thoroughly recommend!

A great read
Love David Jackson- always a wry humour in the mystery & the blood lust in this one doesn’t disappoint
