Last year I read ‘the shadows of Rutherford house’ by C E Rose and it was one of my best reads of 2022! So as soon as I saw she’d announced her new book was available to request on NetGalley … I was there!

Once again, it was a gripping, unique story. I honestly couldn’t guess where it was going, a few twists, shocks and surprises along the way.

The characters were fab! So much depth and you really got to know them.

The storyline itself was different but so gripping and I just needed to find out more! It had a bit of suspense and an eerie feel to it, particularly when Ruth is in the attic!

Highly recommend The attic at Wilton place .. you will not be disappointed.

Thank you NetGalley and Hera books for the opportunity to read and review this title.

Really enjoyed this book. It’s my first time reading with this author. I started it and was hooked. Literally couldn’t put it down. It was a great suspense thriller. The book was very well written. Flowed very well

I’d like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. I have only read one other book by the author, Shadows of Rutherford House so I was excited to read this one. We follow Ruth as a teen into her college years and her “infatuation” with her Aunt who is an actress. When off to college, she asks Ruth to come stay weekends with her at Wilton Place, but things aren’t always what they seem to be. Where is her Aunt always disappearing to and what about her Aunt’s young Italian husband and the secrets in the attic. An interesting read from start to finish, finished in one sitting.

Ruth is the younger of two children. Her mother favours Ruth's older brother, he gets all the compliments, and shiny new items, and Ruth feels somewhat left out and unwanted.
Her father is a weak man who never chides his wife for her attitude towards her daughter, but behind her back comforts Ruth, making excuses for Joy's hurtful behaviour.

Joy's best friend is an actress who lives a glamorous life travelling the world.
She treats Ruth like a beloved daughter. Ruth thrives on the compliments that are showered upon her, and is chosen to be bridesmaid at Vanessa's wedding in France.
She never becomes the bridesmaid, instead, she and her brother end up in hospital.

Ruth grows up and leaves home for University and spends weekends at Vanessa's luxury home, and she discovers a locked room in the attic, and slowly discovers secrets that have been hidden for decades by Vanessa and Joy.

Another suspense filled book by C E Rose. I literally could not put it down, falling asleep with my kindle in my hand, and just 14% of the book to read. Definitely a page turner, and the chapters are short, which I like, probably because of the 'just one more chapter before I.......'.
I can definitely recommend this book, with it's Gothic feel.
Honestly cannot wait for the next book from C E Rose!

Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I liked the last 10% of the book. I really wanted to like the whole thing, but the story was just too dull until the mystery began to unravel in the last part of the book. By the time we got to the good stuff, there really was no saving the book.

Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.
