The house was meant to be a fresh start.
But from the moment we arrived at 13 Rutland Terrace, something felt wrong.
My daughter refuses to go near the cellar. The dog won't stop barking. And then I found the photo - a family just like ours. Only the woman in it looks terrified.
They lived here before us.
Now I can't stop thinking about her.
Because this house is keeping secrets.
And my husband...

Just when you think you have it figured out, you start second guessing yourself and wonder if you really know what's going on. Good story with several twists at the end.
I liked the twist at the end what a tangled web we weave loved the story ending and characters goodjob
Brilliant gripping book
I thought this book sounded good from the description. I read almost half and never got any of what had been described. I'm so bored with it and giving up. Recommend getting a sample before purchasing.
The story is told very well from two different perspectives. The many twists and turns I never saw coming made it difficult for me to put this book down.
