Summary

In this thrilling novel from bestselling author John Marrs, a young couple’s house hides terrible secrets—and not all of them are confined to the past.

Mia and Finn are busy turning a derelict house into their dream home when Mia unexpectedly falls pregnant. But just when they think the house is ready, Mia discovers a shocking message scored into a skirting board: I WILL SAVE THEM FROM THE ATTIC. Following the clue up into the eaves, the couple make a gruesome discovery: their home was once a real-life murder house, with the evidence still concealed within the four walls.

In the wake of their traumatic discovery, the baby arrives and Mia can’t shake her fixation with the monstrous crimes that happened right above them. Tormented by the terrible things she saw, she is desperate to dig into the past to find answers.

Secrecy shrouds the mystery of the attic, but when shards of a dark truth start to emerge, Mia realises the danger is terrifyingly present. She is prepared to do anything to protect her family—but will the previous tenants stop her from discovering their secret?

Very dark and disturbing read

I wanted to love this book after the rave reviews I have heard about it. Well, I definitely didn't love it, but it's one of those books that reels you in and you just want to hear that final twist! Its very disturbing and far fetched in places, but Overall it's worth a listen.
Lady narration is ok, narrator for Finn is very annoying, especially when mimicking Mia!

Twist after twist!

I’ve heard good reviews about this book so I took it upon myself to listen to it via audiobook. Oh wow. I couldn’t stop listening, the twists and turns that happened were just mind blowing! When I thought the story was over, I realised there was a lot more chapters left and I was just left speechless. Fantastic book!

I enjoyed this!

I will say I enjoyed this, but also could predict what was going to happen before it did. I don't think the book is as horrifying as some of the reviews state, so don't be put off. I do think the author did a good job of explaining what was happening, without going into graphic detail.
Ultimately, it's worth a listen/read. The story itself is well laid out, but again - predictable. The ending somewhat did surprise me, but didn't actually shock me either. I'm going to read What Lies Between Us next though, so I liked it enough to try another book from John Marrs - and will likely buy a few others!

Good listen, predictable and bit disturbing

I enjoyed it although at points it was very hard to like even a single character
