Über diesen Titel

‘Terrifyingly BRILLIANT’ MARIAN KEYES, AUTHOR OF GROWN UPS

‘A book that needed to exist in the world. It is the book that was missing’ LISA TADDEO, AUTHOR OF THREE WOMEN

‘Magnificent’ KATE MOSSE, AUTHOR OF THE CITY OF TEARS

Sometimes Marisa gets the fanciful notion that Kate has visited the house before. She makes herself at home without any self-consciousness. She puts her toothbrush right there in the master bathroom, on the shelf next to theirs.

In Jake, Marisa has found everything she’s ever wanted. Then their new lodger Kate arrives.

Something about Kate isn’t right. Is it the way she looks at Marisa’s boyfriend? Sits too close on the sofa? Constantly asks about the baby they are trying for? Or is it all just in Marisa’s head?

After all, that’s what her Jake keeps telling her. And she trusts him – doesn’t she?

But Marisa knows something is wrong. That the woman sleeping in their house will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

Marisa just doesn’t know why.

How far will she go to find the answer – and how much is she willing to lose?

‘A pacy, stylish thriller in which suspense is accompanied by fist-pumping feminism and, perhaps toughest of all, hope.’

Fesselnde Story-Line, die Vogel-Allegorie wirkt ein bisschen konstruiert. Überraschende Wendung nach dem ersten Kapitel.

Spannende Story, tolle Erzählerin!

I found the story after the plot twist rather boring. Nothing really happened after that.

Part 1 was most interesting

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.

The story starts off really promising, with an interesting and relatable concept of having to share your home with a lodger who your partner starts to show an interesting in. There was a teasingly dark backstory, about a sister and I was really looking forward to seeing how that turned out. But after the end of part one, the story turns into a middle-class melodrama, where the main protagonist is just a very weak and unsympathetic character Who spends a lot of time feeling sorry for herself and the one time she actually does speak out, the antagonist conveniently crumples at her not very powerful words. There’s not much in the way of a threat just average dull family stuff. good if you’re into that sort of stuff but I was expecting more of a thriller.

Interesting beginning that takes a disappointing term.
