The locked Attic

Stephanie wakes up in a hospital. Unsure of what happened and how she got there. What happened to her? As her memories slowly begin to make sense, she believes/suspects that her neighbors are behind her hospitalization.

When she, her husband and their son move into their new neighborhood away from London, Stephanie feels promise. But she soon begins to feel uneasy about her neighbors. Something isn’t quite right. Their son, Jonathon, is nice and has becomes friends with her son, Danny. Jonathon’s parents, on the other hand, are weird, uptight and pretentious.

Then something, as it usually does, happens and the boys are no longer the close friends they once were. Then there is a devastating car crash, an explosion, and a quest to find out the truth.

This was a psychological thriller which saw my attention going up and down like a child on a teeter totter. I liked it, I felt meh about it, I enjoyed it, I wasn’t wowed. The characters in this book have questions, secrets and are dramatic. Stephanie goes looking for answers…

Again, I was all over the place with this book. It was a solid three stars for me. I can’t fault the writing or the pacing as both were very well done. This book does deal with various themes such as family, friendship, sexuality, secrets, and grief.

Many enjoyed this book more than I did, so please see out their reviews as well.

Thank you to HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter, and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
