Publisher's Summary
“Mark Edwards always delivers! Taut, gripping, scary and original - a fabulous read!” - Robert Bryndza, #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author
A beautiful home. A loving wife. And in-laws to die for.
Gemma Robinson comes into Elliot’s life like a whirlwind, and they marry and settle into his home. When she asks him if her parents can come to stay for a couple of weeks, he is keen to oblige - he just doesn’t quite know what he’s signing up for.
The Robinsons arrive with Gemma’s sister, Chloe, a mysterious young woman who refuses to speak or leave her room. Elliot starts to suspect that the Robinsons are hiding a dark secret. And then there are the scars on his wife’s body that she won’t talk about....
As Elliot’s in-laws become more comfortable in his home, encroaching on all aspects of his life, it becomes clear that they have no intention of moving out. To protect Gemma, and their marriage, Elliot delves into the Robinsons’ past. But is he prepared for the truth?
From the two million copy bestselling author comes a tale about the chilling consequences of welcoming strangers into your home.

Loved this !
Great story Would make a great movie. My only suggestion is that a female would have been better for the female spoken parts. Other than that well narrated

Disturbing but worth the time
The writing is superb as always with Mark Edwards. This is a gripping story, wonderful narration, including well fleshed out characters and focus on their psychological development. I think it could be a tad shorter, but overall a magnificent read.

Too much violence
So much brutality and very very dark human behavior. I do not recommend this story.

Over The Top!
Even though I enjoyed this book, it was too far fetched... Its premise was absurd, and just not plausible. How could such an upstanding, intelligent man be so darn naïve and willing to get involved in all the madness??? Talk about family secrets and being dysfunctional! The story had plenty of twists, ridiculous as they were. It kept me hooked, but the end fell a little short. However, J.L. did a nice job of performing the parts, and brought the characters to life.

Frustrating but got me to listen to the whole book
It wasn’t that bad of a book, but half the time I was getting frustrated with the main character. I kept listening only to see if he had some kind of backbone in the story.

His best book yet!
I absolutely love it! I had a nightmare of my own with a psychopath parent that refused to leave our home. It took over a year, the police and the courts, and so many obstacles kept popping up that we could not get rid of them. I actually completely 1000% could see how a situation like this could play out. Seriously parts of this were so close to home I wanted to scream. It honestly felt super cathartic to listen to. I loved how all the details wove together, and I think I enjoyed it more having listened to so many of Edwards books because I knew to pay close attention to all the details he writes as they are not just for descriptions but to weave the story. So many events in this book kept it very intriguing. The performance was perfect, the length was perfect. I wish I could write like this. I hope it is optioned for a movie or a series!

Pretty good book *small spoiler*
Overall, I feel like this was a pretty good book. The main character being so naive got a little annoying after a while. I also think it’s strange that he kept finding people dead and there was no further investigation on him.
I listened as an audiobook. It was a little hard because it was a man with a pretty deep voice performing and he made all the female characters sound whiny in an effort to make them sound like women. If you can get past that, it was fine.

Have to return
The narrators voice was just so boring and the story did not grab me. 30min in and I was done. Cannot recommend.

I love this narrator!
This book is brilliant. I had a feeling who the real psycho was, but I wasn't disappointed. And the story tellers’ accent made the book 1000 times more enjoyable.

Great book, relatable for lots of people I think
I loved this book! It was a story that starts out with an ideal scenario, then the in-laws come and are the stuff of nightmares. I found myself thinking that I could see how this whole thing could actually happen. I was gripped until the very end!
