Publisher's 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....

What the critics say

"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)

Just Okay

Very well performed, but if you listen to books while you fall asleep, this is NOT for you. Carrying volumes, dialogue is super loud or super soft, so not ideal.
The ending threw in every twist but the kitchen sink, and less definitely would have been more.
Overall definitely okay, but not a book I’d recommend.
