About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

You let them back in.
You shouldn't have...


Young couple Charlie and Eve can’t believe the killer deal they got on an old house deep in the mountains. One day, a man knocks on the door. He says he lived there years before and asks if he can show his family around.

As soon as they enter, strange things start to happen, and Eve is desperate for them to leave and never come back. But they can’t – or won’t – take the hint that they are no longer welcome.

Then, Charlie vanishes, and Eve begins to lose her grip on reality. She’s convinced there’s something terribly wrong with the house and its past inhabitants . . . or is it all in her head?

The Turn of the Key meets Parasite in this gripping, eerily haunting debut and Reddit hit – soon to be a Netflix original movie starring Blake Lively – that will keep you up into the early hours. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Leave the World Behind.

this book left me speechless

I rarely want to throw my kindle into a wall (yes I listen while I read), but this book oh my god I NEED more, it has got to have a part two. I have so many questions, it was confusing but in the best way possible? it stretched the right parts of my brain, the narration is wonderful and exciting. I will 100% bully all my book club mates into reading this title because i need to talk about with somebody

Confusing

Still don’t understand what happened and I am left on a cliffhanger. Will there be a second book??? What is going on. The way the audio book was done was very good with the sound effects and voices but not sure what to think about the book overall as there’s no closure

Great narration, gripping first half

Really enjoyed the first half, had me hooked and felt so creepy and atmospheric. Disappointed by the remainder of the book, in particular the ending…that I’m still confused by! If a sequel is coming that would make sense, but as it was left I had too many questions to feel satisfied.

Gripping! But not a great ending

I Loved this story, was gripped from the beginning, however the ending was really disappointing.

Obscure - in good and bad ways

Starts off promising, and at least it wasn’t formulaic, but the story really went sideways from what I was expecting. I’d did keep me engaged all the way through, but I found it unsatisfying at the end. Also I felt like none of this story would have happened if the main character hadn’t made the pretty stupid decision to let complete strangers into her house in the first place!

Average

Can absolutely imagine this being turned into a 4/10 Netflix horror film. The narrator does her best with the material and it’s quite a promising setup, but it goes downhill in the second half and ends up feeling a bit confused. It isn’t awful and has the odd moment, but it’s all been done before.
