Summary

Everyone’s welcome. But not everyone leaves....

Nick and Amber Miller are splitting up and selling their Devon family 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 13 people enter her house that afternoon, and only 12 leave.

Someone doesn't want the house to sell and is willing to do anything to stop it....

Critic reviews

"Lacing everyday life with menace is Sam Carrington’s greatest strength as a storyteller." (The Times)

"The premise grabbed me right away and the novel itself didn’t disappoint! It’s a creepy, compelling read, full of twists and turns with well-drawn, unreliable characters that kept me guessing!" (Sarah Pearse)

"A claustrophobic psychological thriller that had me double checking my doors and windows were locked!" (Vicki Bradley)

So-so. Not as good as some published reviews say.

This story would have benefited from some more brutal editing. It plods at a slow place, using many words when few are needed, introducing irrelevant details which neither add plot not character. The story is fairly predictable and frankly I struggled to get past the first few chapters.

The narration is quite good EXCEPT for when she does the children's voices, which are all strident, loud, and very uncomfortable to listen to. Audible's engineers should have picked this up in the studio.
