Summary
A widowed mother is terrorized by a stalker with unfathomable intent in a novel of cold-blooded suspense by the Shamus Award-winning author of The Temporary Agent.
When Kate Burke is awakened one night by a sound outside her window, her PTSD is triggered. Was it simply a deer crossing her secluded backyard? Or was it intruders? Because Kate still lives with the dreadful memories of her husband’s murder during a seemingly random home invasion two years before, she knows the answer can mean the difference between life and death.
But when she discovers the unsettling ways her property has been vandalized the next day, Kate is forced to conclude the worst: someone is watching her.
Kate decides to rent out her estranged sister’s onetime cottage, which sits on her property, for the summer. Another set of eyes around the place won’t hurt. And with additional support from friends and family, Kate should be feeling safe.
Instead, the vandalism is escalating. So are the anonymous late-night calls and texts, each one more disturbing and violating than the last. Whoever is targeting Kate, whatever their motive or terrifying endgame, the footsteps in the dark are getting closer.

Critic reviews
“A virtuoso demonstration of how painful it is for a beleaguered heroine to suspect any of the people she trusts the most.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Building to an explosive conclusion, this white-knuckled ride consistently entertains.”—Publishers Weekly
“Shamus Award winner Daniel Judson is back with a propulsive, twisty psychological thriller about love, loss, and regret. A smart, suspenseful slow burn, The Cottage is a total pleasure.”—Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of Find Me

Hmm...
I’m not even a quarter of the way through this book yet and I’m not sure I’ll be able to finish it. I read reviews beforehand and have seen the negative ones this novel has, but decided to give it a try for myself. The only characters I feel sorry for are the children. Max and Cally are really cute and it was really sweet when Max was trying to protect his mother. She didn’t even seem to appreciate the gesture! She runs into the bedroom at the slightest sound and when the summary said home invasion, I was expecting something more dramatic than what actually happened. If you ask me, Leaf was too quick to act. I just find Kate really irritating and some of the other characters really overbearing. I think Ed has a crush on Kate! The narrator takes breaths in really random places too. So while I’m slightly intrigued to know who’s behind this, I’m not sure I’ll ever find out! I’ll update this if I do reach the end! We just seem to be getting a lot of unnecessary details which are ok once, but this is the third time I’ve heard about dishes and bed linin!
