It seems too good to be true…

When struggling writer Sebastian finds a room to let in a palatial Hampstead residence he cannot believe his luck. The rent is ridiculously cheap and he immediately feels a connection with his beautiful widowed landlady, Adriana.

It is.

Things take a dark turn when he finds out what happened to the last lodger. Could this be why the house is a fortress of security, and why Adriana seems so fragile? Adriana doesn’t want to talk about the death and sadness that seem to follow her wherever she goes and Sebastian has secrets of his own.

Now someone is watching their every move and there is nowhere to hide.

This house of light becomes a dark nightmare as the threat ramps up - what does the watcher want? And how far will they go to get it?

A gripping, twisty thriller perfect for fans of B.A. Paris, Shari Lapena and Lucy Foley. If you were hooked by Netflix series You or The Watcher then you will love this.

I was completely sucked into the book from the start and couldn't put it down. The writing is excellent and draws you into the story. It's well plotted out with characters that are vividly brought to life. There are twists and turns and the most perfect tension that's huolt throughout the story. It's all just so real and so I was invested throughout and dying to know wxactly what secrets were being hidden. An amazing book

As seb gets to know her, he starts to wonder what happened to her last lodger who committed suicide. Meanwhile he is getting emails from someone about Adriana. Who is she really? Who is this random man that shows up from her past? And how are they all connected? Def not in any way you will ever guess! Very suspenseful!

The dynamic between Sebastian, the struggling writer, and Adriana, his enigmatic landlady, is fraught with tension and mystery. As Sebastian delves deeper into Adriana's past, he uncovers dark secrets that threaten to consume them both.

What I loved most about "Under Her Roof" is its atmospheric setting and sense of foreboding. The eerie Hampstead residence, shrouded in secrecy and tragedy, serves as the perfect backdrop for the unfolding drama. Chaudhuri expertly builds suspense, creating a palpable sense of unease that lingered with me long after I finished reading.

The beginning of this book really hooked me in - The writing style was lovely and I could picture the house and characters really well.

I did find that the pace lagged in the middle - it felt a little repetitive at times. Also, a minor quibble but where did Max go? Adriana didn't appear to need an assistant after the first chapter, so if he was being paid a full time salary he's the luckiest bloke on earth.

The story picked up pace again towards the end, and I thought the ending was very good, albeit a little far-fetched.

Overall I would recommend this book as I did really enjoy reading it.
