Spare Room

By: Dreda Say Mitchell

Narrated by: Kristin Atherton

Beautiful double room to let to single person. Lisa, a troubled young woman with a past, can’t believe her luck when she finds a beautiful room to rent in a large house. The live-in owners are a kind and welcoming couple. Everything is fine until she finds a suicide note hidden in her room. But when the couple insist this man didn’t exist and that Lisa is their first tenant, Lisa begins to doubt herself. Compelled to uncover the secrets of the man who lived in the room before her, Lisa is alarmed when increasingly disturbing incidents start to happen. Someone doesn’t want Lisa to find out the truth. As the four walls of this house and its secrets begin to close in on Lisa, she descends into a hellish hall of mirrors where she’s not sure what’s real and what’s not as she claws her way towards the truth … This room has already claimed one victim. Is it about to take another?©2019 Dreda Say Mitchell (P)2019 Bolinda Publishing

narration was easy to listen to. enjoyable story with plenty of twists ... wondering why she wouldn't just leave kept me reading til I was committed to finishing even after I found out why she stayed.

Absolutely Brilliant!

I must say I have read a lot of books but this one just tops it all! The narrator is wonderful! It will keep you on your toes craving for more! The author really makes it easy to visualize the character and the settings of the story. This was my first book from this author but definitely won't be my last. I truly recommend this read.
