Super read! I raced through this book - excited as I was to be reading Mira V Shah’s second book. Her debut novel, Her, was brilliant and this one is no different. An easy to read thriller with great plot and characters. The pace moves along and one feels completely invested. Totally recommend.

Am looking forward to reading further works from Mira V Shah and am very grateful to NetGalley and the Publishers, Hodder & Stoughton for this ARC.

This book left me feeling a little underwhelmed. While the beginning had be gripped. Wondering what had happened. By the end I just felt more could have been done.
The length and pace is perfect for me. I had no issues reading this in one sitting.
I just feel the reveal just lacked something.

An interesting and well written book with lots of twists. I enjoyed it but thought it was perhaps a bit overlong. 3 and a half stars rounded up to 4

Wow the house sitter

I loved this easy to read Thriller full of surprises and a great ending but the whole thing is excellent.

Aahnaya I know rolls if the tongue doesn't it and its her name not a typo, is shocked to wake up next to a man in her bed, not her normal taste, o and he's dead probably should of said that 1st. What follows is an escape a realisation plus a rich family in one big mess.

So when Aahnaya gets a job to house sit in Italy it's obviously a great idea and a chance to escape for a few weeks. But we'll things change and the escape get complicated throw in a storm and this is Thriller bliss. Great story great characters and great twists what's not to love.

This book will have you sucked in from the start and enthralled til the very end. A captivating story that’s delivered perfectly. The intricate story line will keep you guessing!

Having woken up next to a dead body can make you go crazy. So many questions, so many scenarios, but what is real? The main character is dealing with this dilemma. She is offered to house sit and she jumps at it! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher.

Told in the house sitter's own words, this book has an enticing opening which intrigued me and had me hooked. I loved all the family dynamics, secrets and surprises. An enjoyable read which kept me guessing!

I was completely blown away by Mira V Shah’s debut novel so I was super excited to get the chance to read her follow up. And boy what a follow up! This is a brilliant story perfectly plotted and executed. Beautifully written and the author sets the scene to perfection giving the reader a true sense of being in Italy. Mira’s ability to completely draw the reader in is incredible and leads to a captivating and engrossing read. A tangled web of secrets and lies is weaved throughout the book and just when you think the author has delivered the final twist she throws in a quite brilliant last chapter. Another fabulous read sees Mira V Shah becoming a definate go-to author for me. Mesmerising
