Another over-the-top twisty thriller by this prolific author.
I admit that I keep reading McFadden's books and always finish no matter how crazy they get. I now know to guess wildly out of the box to see if my imagination can anticipate what the characters are going to do. I rarely can. And this was no different.
Tricia and Ethan are house hunting and meant to meet a real estate agent for a tour when they get stranded in a remote mansion during a snowstorm. When they realize they must spend the night, their snooping reveals that they are occupying a fully furnished home that belonged to Dr. Adrienne Hale, a well-known author and psychiatrist who had vanished several years earlier. Tricia finds a secret room full of audiotapes of sessions with patients recorded by the doctor. She decides to listen to these tapes and discovers some very shocking secrets. But there's something else: Tricia soon realizes that she and Ethan are not alone in this house.
So unrealistic and unbelievable, but that's what I've come to expect. Rarely do you get to meet so many hideous characters doing such horrible things. I both listened to the audiobook and followed along in the e-book, and it was very fast-paced and entertaining just to see how far the author would go with this story. If you're hooked on shocks and surprises with quite unpredictable narratives, this author's books are for you.
This is a standalone and is not part of any series.
