The storyline is complex but very clever, and although there are many twists, there’s one in particular that blew me away, I just never saw it coming. OUR HOUSE is the one you may be most familiar with as it's on our screens as a major four-part ITV drama starring Martin Compston, Tuppence Middleton and Rupert Penry-Jones. A gripping tale of love, secrets and deception - it's the best psychological thriller I've read in a long time. That's until Beth announces the creation of a nature trail on a local site that's been disused for decades and suddenly Alex is a changed man. Mr Abdulhak flew out of Britain the following day, around 24 hours before Ms Vik Magnussen’s semi-naked body was discovered.

When the waste ground behind his house is approved for development, it spells trouble for Alex, who is hiding a big secret – but what? I was on high alert with one of the main characters in this tale but the story didn’t go quite the way I anticipated, which was excellent! Alex is our narrator in the present we know he’s keeping secrets and fearful of his past rearing its ugly head but we’re not quite sure what form it will take.

Though it wasn’t Rick, but Marina who lived near the nature trail… where (we learn) a woman was killed in 1995. The only downside was that the ink smudges too much and some was transferring to my hands/ fingers, which is why I knocked off half a star. I picked PART of the twist quite early and was feeling VERY smug about it- but the ending still got me. The British teenager was also said to have influenced Anderson Lee Aldrich, the only suspect in a shooting at a Colorado gay bar in which five people were killed.

Another brilliant domestic thriller noir from Louise Candlish takes us between the 1990s and the present day. Candlish takes us directly to the events in both time stages and I was fully immersed in the action of each respective era. The characters rise from the page in a moving study of loneliness, desperation, shame and public prurience.Aldrich, 22, allegedly killed five people during an indiscriminate firearms attack in Colorado Springs, in November last year - while Harris was on trial in the UK.
