Last updated on 9 Nov 2022What a book! This psychological thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat, then pow, a corker of a twist.
With the birth of their first child immediately, Victoria and Jamie have last weekend away before the baby arrives. The found a small countryside guesthouse which is quite remote. Fiona and Barry give them a warm welcome, but in the morning Barry and Fiona are no where to be found, then Victoria goes into labour and they find the doors and windows are locked and Jamie’s car keys and their mobile phones are missing. Panic sets in. Jamie breaks a window and tries to seek help from a nearby property. On route he sees Barry driving back to the guesthouse but doesn’t stop for him. When Jamie finally arrives back, Victoria is screaming in labour, Fiona is in nursing scrubs and Barry has set up nursery furniture. Something is very disturbing about this guesthouse and the owners.
When the baby arrives Fiona and Barry make an absurd proposal and everything escalates out of control and Victoria and Jamie resort to desperate measures to escape and keep their baby safe.
A story full of detail and explain the characters backgrounds well. Plus the twist of the century. My only grip was the very British setting, but constant use of American terminology not used in England - diapers, trunk, cash register etc. But no reason for this to deter from the plot.
