A brilliant story. The plot is complicated yet easy to follow, well thought out and original. Dark and disturbing characters, with twisted plans crossing throughout, leading to a creepy conclusion. Set in the unlikliest of places, yet scarily believable. A momentous event in the middle, which connects the beginning, which appears straightforward, with the second half of the book, where you realise all your assumptions and deductions were totally wrong. Everything you could possibly want in a thriller, taken to a whole new level. This book is going to be hard to beat.

A woman shows up at her house, to find a couple living there. Needless to say, everyone is confused and clearly there's a mystery that needs to be solved, especially since the woman can't remember her own name.

A fairly interesting read, decent pacing, and it's like two mysteries in one because halfway through we seem to solve one mystery then move on to another we weren't quite expecting. Maybe not the most complicated plot, but it was still enough to hold me to the end.

I think the writing was good, I was able to picture the places etc without needing several pages of descriptions, as some authors do. I'd say it's a quick, entertaining read if you're looking for a mystery novel fix.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy.

I found this gripping, but not very exciting or original. It was a little predictable, but a great holiday read nonetheless.

I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand I thought the story was rather silly, but as I read on I found I did want to finish it. A woman knocks on the door of what she believes is her house, though she can't remember anything, and has lost all her personal possessions. What follows is a very complicated plot, which I found to be rather contrived and quite far fetched. Thanks to NetGalley for a preview copy.

Good psychological thriller that keeps you more than just guessing about what has and will happen but makes you actively think through what you're told to try and work out it out for yourself. All you know is that the characters can't all be telling the truth - you just don't quite know which ones aren't.

Interesting facts too about how the brain and memory work adding credence to the perpetrator's motives and leaving you a little bit better informed at the end . A good investment of time.

I found this to be a good read in the main but a bit incredulous towards the end of the story. There were many twists and turns to keep me interested. I would read another novel by this author. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to review it.

Simply astonishing story, full of secrets and lies which lead the reader on a merry dance right up to the last page. I loved it and read it in one day.

I struggled with this and almost didn’t finish it. A rather confusing story and not the most believable either. Sorry,

Really enjoyed this book although found it a little confusing at times. The similar names freya/fleur meant i really had to concentrate at times.

I thought this was a ridiculous story, totally unbelievable with masive holes in the plot and cardboard characters.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I am not sure at all about this novel it was not good but it was not bad and found it sadly lacking.

What starts off a little slow but promising, soon turns into a great read. The plot has enough twists to hold interest and the characters are well weittwn to fit their roles. Its great that you dont find out the whole story until near the end, it would be very hard to guess what comes next. Kind of reminds me of the tv show the sinner. Lovely read.

It’s a good read and draws you in from the first page. My only negatives are that the plot tailed off mid way through and the characters are underdeveloped. The story itself is original and the ending was very good. Overall, I’d recommend this for anyone who likes psychological thrillers.

This book kept me guessing and was a real page turner! I am not sure I liked most of the characters, but am thinking that was intentional. Perfect book for Autumn... snuggle up on the sofa and enjoy!
