The blistering new thriller from the two million copy Sunday Times bestselling author.
They thought they'd found their dream house. They were wrong . . .
Adam and Jess move into a new house with their three young children: a rambling Victorian villa right at the very top of their price range. Before long Adam discovers a door hidden behind a fitted wardrobe, concealing a secret room . . .
Inside Adam discovers an array of forgotten items, among them a wallet, an antique watch and an old mobile phone. Jess thinks they should simply throw them away. But Adam resists. He is fascinated by these items and how they came to be inside the hidden room.
But like the house, Adam has his secrets too. And soon he will find himself setting in motion a series of events that will place his family in terrible danger . . .

I was so excited to receive a T. M. Logan thriller, especially after reading The Vacation, which I loved! The writing, as always, is impeccable, and eerie descriptions of Adam’s investigations give it the extra layer I crave. It’s a disturbing story, so buckle up for some seriously hair-raising moments!
Adam and his wife, Jess, are excited to move into their new Victorian home which requires refurbishing. But the area is top notch, the front façade to die for and a dream come true for this family of five. When Adam finds a hidden room with a collection of personal belongings, eleven days of nightmares and questions begin. Who do they belong to and how did they get there? Why is there a hidden room? Even more sinister is a camera hidden in a tree in front of their property. Adam is determined to get to the bottom of it all, and disturbed by the possibility that someone is watching them. When their youngest child wakes one night, insisting there was a man in her room, the pace accelerates.
Another worrying factor was the outward lack of police interest, and where initial statements seemed to go nowhere. What I really enjoyed is the camaraderie between Adam and Jess, particularly when they didn’t know who to trust. Although he was very secretive over a decision he made to remedy his shortcomings, this couple remained strong and investigated together.
Around the middle section, I thought I knew how it might end. But I was wrong. It was a Pandora’s Box of secrets, unleashing the worst possible consequences, each one more terrifying than the last. Who is toying with Adam and does this person have anything to do with a cold case some twenty years previously? With so many twists and turns, and danger escalating to fever pitch, I was as determined as Adam to rid the family of these horrors. What I didn’t expect was just how hard Adam would have to fight to protect his family.
This is a tension-filled psychological thriller that will leave you wondering if your house holds any hidden secrets. If so, are they are better left alone?
