Summary

“Mark Edwards always delivers! Taut, gripping, scary and original - a fabulous read!” - Robert Bryndza, #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author

A beautiful home. A loving wife. And in-laws to die for.

Gemma Robinson comes into Elliot’s life like a whirlwind, and they marry and settle into his home. When she asks him if her parents can come to stay for a couple of weeks, he is keen to oblige - he just doesn’t quite know what he’s signing up for.

The Robinsons arrive with Gemma’s sister, Chloe, a mysterious young woman who refuses to speak or leave her room. Elliot starts to suspect that the Robinsons are hiding a dark secret. And then there are the scars on his wife’s body that she won’t talk about....

As Elliot’s in-laws become more comfortable in his home, encroaching on all aspects of his life, it becomes clear that they have no intention of moving out. To protect Gemma, and their marriage, Elliot delves into the Robinsons’ past. But is he prepared for the truth?

From the two million copy bestselling author comes a tale about the chilling consequences of welcoming strangers into your home.

Loved this, enthralled from start to finish. Just when you think you know the end, there’s another twist!

phenomenal!

Utterly brilliant. My life has been virtually on hold for the last 3 days while I listened to this book - I just couldn't turn it off. The plot was original and moved at the perfect pace. The ending didnt disappoint either. One of the best books I've read in years. Cannot recommend enough.

Good option to easy listening thriller

Got a bit bored at times especially with the babisy voice over of adults. Over good narration and story.

Gripping story!

I really enjoyed this story but at the outset I thought the voice of the story teller wasn’t right for the tale. He seemed too old, too stuffy, trying too hard. But I stuck with it and the twists and turns at the end rewarded me with a gripping tale. I

Usual Mark Edwards Style...

Slightly tongue in cheek, a thriller with peril, and the story delivered with wit and humour.
The in-laws move in, get settled and really aren't in a hurry to leave.
