keeping us guessing until the brilliant twist at the end

This is an utterly gripping psychological thriller. Once started, it won't let you put it down. It is told from the viewpoints of two characters: Abi, struggling to comes to terms with the death of her twin sister, and Bea, glamorous and wealthy, but troubled. When Abi moves into the house that Bea owns and shares with her twin brother, Ben, and a collection of artistic lodgers, strange things begin to happen: treasured letters go missing and menacing messages are left in Abis room. It quickly becomes apparent that the all main characters are hiding dark secrets. Douglas cleverly manipulates our sympathies, so we are never sure who to identify with. Who is lying, who has lost their grip on reality? The ground shifts under our feet all the time, as Douglas drip feeds us information bit by bit, building tension masterfully, keeping us guessing until the brilliant twist at the end. Compulsively readable and highly recommended!

I loved this book. I didn't expect too much from it, but was immediately hooked. It keeps you guessing, and makes you want to keep turning the page. It's the type of book you get annoyed being interrupted reading! The 2 main characters are well developed and deliver a sinister 'there's something not quite right' feeling whilst you are reading. You cannot wait to get to the end of the book to find out how it will all end and then feel sad once you've reached the end because you know a great read is all over.

A dark, twisting plotline will keep you guessing, even as you discover parts of the riddle.  Formal language style, interspersed with "earthy expressions" reinforces the colonial historical context.  Main characters are well developed and the reader is able to empathize with them, even when their action may be repugnant.  Matthew, our protagonist, is young and "too smart for his own good".  He is sometimes over confident in his speculations (a character flaw not limited to the young), but overall has excellent deductive logic.  Despite his fears, and recognizing the dangerous consequences in a situation, but still pursues the only acceptable ethical course of actions. I am looking forward to reading (or listening to) the next book of his adventures.

This tale revolves around secrets, secrets so all sorts. The complications they create keep the reader hooked. The well-crafted characters draw us in.

When the book ends, it's not enough. Although the loose ends are tied up, we still want more, pacing the way for the next two books in the series.
