Nick and Amber Miller are splitting up and selling their Devon home. But despite the desirable location, the house isn’t moving. Not a single viewing so far.
When their estate agent suggests an open house event, Amber agrees, even as she worries about their gossiping neighbours attending and snooping around their home.
But Amber has more to worry about than nosy neighbours. Because thirteen people enter her house that afternoon, and only twelve leave.
Someone doesn't want the house to sell, and is willing to do anything to stop it…
Review
Wow - this is a page turner.
This book begins with Amber having split from her husband and now selling what was his family home. An interfering Mother In Law who doesn't want her to move and take the grandchildren with her or sell her old family home. Pretty pedestrian stuff until the house isn't selling and the estate agent encourages Amber to hold an open house.
Soon after the open house things begin to happen that can't be explained. Amber was watching the open house through her ringapp door bell and saw 13 people enter and only 12 leave, except no one is left in the house. Scary stuff.
There's a few threads running through this story. For once I did try and work out what was happening in a break from reading, it was really in my mind. I only figured out a tiny bit and then I found myself saying out loud - "what is going on here"? I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to get to the end.
Believable characters and so many plot lines you end up suspecting everyone of everything.
I'm giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. My thanks to netgalley for the ARC to review.
