Let Me In

By: Claire McGowan

Narrated by: Elizabeth Knowelden, Will Watt, Pearl Hewitt, Saskia Maarleveld

"Claire McGowan at her very best."―Peter James

From the bestselling author of What You Did comes the story of a young couple who are about to discover that in a house full of secrets there’s nowhere to hide…

For Helen and George, the remote fixer-upper in Cornwall was supposed to be a dream home, and a way to leave behind the problems they’re both running from. But something about the place feels wrong from day one. And why does Helen have a creeping feeling she’s seen this house before?

Her unease only deepens after renovations begin, when the builders find sinister dolls hidden in the walls. As Helen digs into the house’s past, she discovers that the previous owner was not only rumoured to be a witch; she was also imprisoned for a brutal triple murder thirty years earlier.

When a horrific accident almost ends in tragedy, Helen worries that the house’s secrets are to blame, and as events spiral out of control she discovers George has been lying to her. As the past returns to haunt them, the couple realise they are in terrible danger, and they can’t trust anyone—not even each other. Because Helen hasn’t been entirely honest with him either…

Let me in

Excellent story and wonderful narrations very enjoyable story all the way through. Worth the credit

Overall a really good listen

I enjoyed the story for the most part. Some plot points seemed more detrimental than moving the story. In no universe would a highly successful woman not be aware of a huge gap in her finances. And anytime dialogue is repetitively repeated I’m almost inclined to dnf. I get it - I heard it the first 10xs. The scam was obvious, but farcical actually diminishing plot.

However, even with those negatives which are big ones for me, I liked George and Helen. I liked Jana and how passionate she was. The entirety of their story saved this book. The twists as they unraveled were a bit shocking and good. Character development was ok. I would have like to delve deeper into these interesting characters.

Narration by all was excellent!!

Tricky One
