"You never know what goes on behind closed doors…"

A MUST READ FOR 2025 !!!

I was hooked from the first chapter of this book! Actually, to be completely honest I was hooked as soon as I read the blurb! There was a point in the middle where I thought I'd worked out the ending (I think this was intentional), but don't be fooled! It isn't as easy as you think! This was a gripping story with several twists and turns! The story is addictive, fast-paced and chilling. It is a real page-turner! I had never read anything by Keri Beevis before this book, and I have no idea why. This psychological thriller was gripping and suspenseful. The blurb and cover for this book reminded me of Lisa Jewell's 'The Family Upstairs'. I was not wrong in this assumption. If you like Lisa Jewell's writing, you will enjoy this book! This is one of the best books I have read in 2025. I am excited to discover more of Keri's work.

This book had plot twists on “WHAT just happened?!” Scenes on character development and then it gave me exactly what I wanted when I asked, and ended in a bang.

The cover for this book I LOVE. That and the blurb is what initially got me to pick this up, as I have never heard of this author before.

The reviews are right - this book is HARD to put down. It’s grappling, intense, and also gives you the details you want and need.

The beginning scenes had me in shock, spiked morbid curiosity, and overall just had me really intrigued.

I will look for this book in stores because I want to add it to my shelf!

Thank you Net Galley and the publisher for approving me request for this free eARC! I am leaving this honest feedback voluntarily.

A fun, quick read from an author new to me. Nina is house sitting for her brother while he’s out of the country and she’s recovering from a broken engagement and finds herself to be one of the last people to see a missing woman alive.

Who did it? The wealthy guy living on daddy’s dime, the nosy neighbor, a stranger or was it something else?

You’ll think you know the answer but find yourself questioning what you know throughout the entire book.

I personally would have liked to see a little more character development for some of the parties we are introduced to but then again the mystery plays to the twists of “who done it” so I understand the decisions that were made. Not sure the romantic storyline was necessary as I found those sections didn’t keep my attention as much and found myself trying to skim back to the more mysterious sections.

Overall, worth the read if you enjoy a “who done it”

The House Sitter by Keri Beevis
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5 stars)

The House Sitter was a fun, fast-paced thriller that kept me engaged throughout. I really appreciated the touch of romance woven into the plot — it's not something you see often in this genre, and it added a nice layer to the story.

That said, there were a lot of moving parts, and at times it felt a bit too busy. I would have preferred a tighter focus, perhaps sticking to just one POV — especially the female main character's. The third-person narration also revealed a bit too much, which made the twist less surprising than it could have been.

Despite those critiques, I enjoyed the ride and definitely plan to read more from Keri Beevis. She has a compelling style, and I’m curious to see where she goes next!

4.5 stars!

After a breakup, Nina house-sits their brother Dexter's apartment. During a power outage, they witness suspicious activity in a neighboring building and become drawn into a mystery involving a missing woman. As they dig deeper into the case, they realize they are being watched as well. Nina must decide who to trust as she tries to uncover the truth.

I absolutely love Keri's work, and I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to review this book. Buckle up, because we are in for a wild ride with multiple points of view and a plethora of intriguing characters to keep us on our toes!

In this captivating tale, we are introduced to Nina, Zac, Julian, Leonard, and Tabitha, each with their own unique perspective. The author skillfully crafted these characters, making them easily distinguishable and utterly engaging. Kerry's writing style is a delight, effortlessly juggling multiple characters with finesse.

The pace of the book is lightning-fast, though some parts may have been a tad lengthy and overly explained. However, these details were crucial in advancing the plot. The twists and turns in the story were expertly executed, with some revelations coming early on and others slowly unfolding. The unexpected ending left me reeling, especially with the surprising twist that caught me off guard. Just when you think you have it all figured out, Keri throws a curveball that will leave you speechless.

If you relish a suspenseful and unpredictable read that is impossible to put down, then this book is must-read. Trust me, just when you think you know what's coming next, Keri will prove you wrong in the most delightful way possible! Perfect summer read!

Thank you, Boldwood Books, for the digital ARC copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The house sitter by Carrie Beavis, after Nina breaks up with her boyfriend her brother lets her stay at his flat while he’s away on vacation. This is when she sees someone across the way having sex with a blonde woman only to learn a few days later the woman is missing. afterNina tries to involve the police and the man’s lifelong friend Tabatha, alibis him. This is when Nina starts making some risky decisions to try and solve it herself while this is happening, she seems to be falling for her brother‘s best friend and the actual owner of the flat she’s housesitting. The man she saw having sex with the blonde is named Julian his dad owns the apartment buildings and it seems he has a history of being attached to dead and or missing women but unfortunately Nina isn’t the only one watching his Cummings and goings and the other person has been doing it for much longer. this is definitely a five star read and although my review doesn’t reflect that trust me when I say the author has done it again and looks like this are the reason she is my favorite mystery/thriller riders. She always has a banger in store for the reader and when it comes to who done it I can never guess until it’s obvious in my face. Her writing is so brilliant and keeps you reading and the housesitter is no different it was interesting well done and Nina is someone so worth rooting for. Not to mention I absolutely loved Zack! #NetGalley, #BowoodBooks, #TheBlindReviewer, #MyHonestreview, #KeriBeavis, #TheHouseSitter,

Keri Beevis is one author I can count on for a doozy of a story every time. Once again she has come through with a twisty, suspenseful, trust noone thriller.

Y'all need to read this!

Thank you Netgalley and one of my favs Keri Beevis for this ARC!

This book was so good!! Typical Keri Beevis style that keeps you on the edge with a lot of twists and turns and tricks. I love how he always incorporate hints of romance but not too much so to take away from the thrilling plot. Highly recommend.

This was an exciting and intense read from start to finish. Nina is house sitting for her brother when she finds herself in the middle of a risky situation where she starts playing detective. Living in a fancy new apartment block with her brother’s childhood friend was not how she planned to spend the summer, but it certainly doesn’t turn out to be the experience that she expected when a girl goes missing and Nina questions whether she was one of the last people to see her.

I really liked how the plot unfolded taking the reader through a timeline of events whilst experiencing it from the different character’s POVs. There were so many cliffhangers which constantly left me desperate to read on, resulting in me finishing the book in less than 48 hours. I constantly found myself guessing the outcome and then changing my mind a few chapters later, it was a real rollercoaster right until the very end.

This was a fast paced, suspense filled thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. This is the first book I have read by Keri Beevis and I am already eager to read more. Thank you NetGalley for my ARC, I highly recommend it!

Loved this book.
What a great twisty, turny thriller with well written, likeable characters and a perfectly realistic setting. River heights sounds lovely, but it sets a very fitting scene.
Had a hitchcockian feel throughout but was totally addictive and I read it within a few days.
Another excellent novel from Keri Beevis.

The House Sitter isn’t my favorite from Keri Beevis, but it still had enough going for it to keep me engaged. The plot moves at a decent pace, and I liked how the supporting characters felt connected to one another.
The main character, Nina, was pretty insufferable at times, which made it tough to fully invest in her storyline. Luckily, the rest of the cast helped carry the weight and kept the story from dragging.
I did end up guessing the twist, but that didn’t ruin the fun—it was actually satisfying to see it play out. Beevis knows how to drop just enough clues without making it too obvious, which I appreciate.
All in all, while it didn’t blow me away, it was an entertaining read with some strong moments. If you enjoy a light psychological thriller with a solid ensemble of characters, this one’s still worth checking out.

Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC.

This book intrigued me with the premise of house sitting in a fancy building. The characters were great and i enjoyed the twists and turns.

“The House Sitter” is the thirteenth book I’ve read by Keri Beevis. You would think that by now I’d have seen the twist coming, but she managed to surprise me yet again.

While this book may not have the heart-pounding intensity of some of Beevis's other works, it's a compelling read that I easily devoured within a day.

Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was a fast-paced, suspenseful read. I’m a fan of Keri Beevis, so I was excited to dive into this one! The characters were well-developed, and I really enjoyed how the story was told from multiple POVs—it kept me guessing. Even though I figured it out a bit early, it was still a thoroughly enjoyable read!

Another fantastic read by Keri Beevis! This one hooked me right off the bat and just never let go. Dark, gritty and creepy all rolled into one. Great characters that had me burning the midnight oil. Great chemistry and excellent storytelling. Don’t let this gem pass you by.
Thank you NetGalley, Keri Beevis and Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this book

Thank you yo Netgalley and Boldwood Books for a chance to read this ARC.

The House Sitter follows Nina, house sitting for her brother, she becomes involved in a mystery of a woman she saw on her neighbor's balcony who has since gone missing. Several other neighbors become characters in this twisty thriller. I most definitely did not see the ending coming with one final twist that had me a little shocked!

Nina was a little annoying at times but overall this was a satisfying read!

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review. Nina just ended her relationship and needs a place to stay until she figures out the next step. The timing is perfect as her brother is leaving out of the country and offers her his apartment until he returns. His roommate is also away so she will have the place all to herself. One night the power goes out and as she is getting ready to turn in when she realises the adjacent high rise has lights on so she heads out to the balcony to take a look. As she sits outside taking in the view, she notices movement on the balcony of the adjacent building penthouse. She takes the binoculars off the table and takes a look, there is a man and a woman being very intimate but Nina cannot look away. A few days later there is a news bulletin of a missing girl and Nina is absolutely sure that this is the woman who was on the balcony across the way....did her neighbour do something to the woman....Enjoy!!

"For fuck's sake, Nina. You're not Nancy Drew."

Nina takes on the challenge of finding out the truth, whilst navigating her own major life changes.

Keri Beevis has done it again! Last January, I had been staying in a hotel and I finally gave in and listened to my first audiobook. This was the "The Sleepover." Another amazing work by Beevis. Since then I've listened to almost every single one of her novels. A few months back I got into NetGalley and every now and then I would check to see if there was anything new from my favourite authors, including Beevis. I was so excited to see The House Sitter appear and I immediately requested. After a long, anxious wait to see if I'd be allowed, the email popped through and began reading that night!

This was my first time reading one of her novels, but I was amazed that it has the same impact! It felt familiar and safe and it kept me hooked! The plot was fantastic and I really loved all the characters! Sometimes I can struggle to like everyone presented as I can feel less invested in some, not enough involvement etc etc. But this time was different. Throughout the entire story I was there, present and obsessed and even the ending felt perfect. A nice, crisp ending that made all the loose threads finally tighten!

I am very excited to give the book 5/5 stars and would highly recommend this and all of Beevis' work! I am excited to read whatever Beevis produces next, hopefully I'll have this opportunity again!

Thank you Keri Beevis, Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the ARC!

Keri Beevis has quickly risen to one of my favourite authors. When she brings a book out, I drop everything to ensure I have a day or two to read it.

In this story, we are introduced to Nina, who has recently split from her boyfriend and moves in to her brothers flat to flat sit whilst he's away. One night, during a power cut, she finds some binoculars and gets curious to see what her neighbours are up to. What she sees leads her onto a dangerous path.

I really enjoyed this story, and though I did guess who the killer was, I also changed my mind multiple times in the final third of the book. I did find the main character Nina annoying at times and quite unlikable. However, as the story developed and her relationship with Zac grew, she became more likeable.

If you haven't read any books by this author, you are really missing out. Her books are very, very good. Full of thrilling and nail-biting storylines.

First I wish to thank Netgalley, Publisher Boldwood Books and Author Keri Beevis for the advanced e-copy of The House Sitter!

In Norway we have a tradition of reading/watching crime during the holiday, and I decided to pick The House Sitter for the tradition, and oh my, I was NOT let down!

Nina moves into her brother's rented apartment following her ending her relationship with her want-to-be fiancee. One night, when she relaxes on the balcony with a steaming hot pizza, with a pair of binoculars, she looks around her new surroundings when she notices the hot guy in the block opposite having a girl over. Next morning, the news of a missing girl starts spreading like wildfire and she remembers the girl from the night before looking a lot like the missing girl...

The House Sitter is a multiple POV thriller covering multiple missing persons, a fmc sure she knows who is behind this all and a mmc creating more trouble than what's good for him.

When I realized there were multiple POV's, I was a little nervous that I was going to miss out on the story trying to figure out who's POV I was reading, but to my surprise, this went well. The character introduction and development was written in a way where no detail was left behind, their actions, conversations and thoughts made sense and I was able to follow without any issues!

I am in love with this book and it was a great introduction to Keri Beevis. I will definitely be checking out more of their work.
