About this listen

A perfect home

When Fern and Paul move into the large, old house on Crenellation Lane, with beautiful high ceilings and a luscious garden, they think they’ve found their dream home. After the devastating loss of Fern’s twin sister, it will be a fresh start and somewhere to raise their first baby.

A destructive obsession

But as soon as they arrive, Fern starts having terrifying nightmares about the woman who lived there before. When the woman showed Fern around, they bonded over their pregnancies. Now, Fern can’t let her go. Does she have something to do with the strange things happening in the house? Paul fears his wife has relapsed, obsessing in the same way she did with her twin.

A fatal secret

Fern questions the neighbours about the previous owner, but nobody wants to talk. It’s like the woman never even existed. Refusing to give up, Fern uncovers a shocking secret and now suddenly her whole family is in danger…

From an exciting debut author, this is a chilling psychological thriller about a house of secrets, perfect for fans of Claire Douglas and Lisa Stone.

A great debut

As above aspects of the narration began to grate after a while. And the encounter at the beginning which introduces the mysterious character- honestly could have been sorted out easily. Very little effort made to find the person who was with her at the time. And it wasn’t really explained at the end either

Wuz annoyed

So boring dry and repetitive. I would not recommend this. It has the most basic, unenjoyable plot imaginable

Awful
