The New House

Written by Tess Stimson

Narrated by Penelope Rawlins

‘WOW WOW WOW… A heart-pulsing, non-stop, mind-blowing thriller’ NetGalley review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Three couples. Three houses. One home to die for…

Stacey and Felix are the glamorous owners of the stylish, modern Glass House, with its pool and floor-to-ceiling windows. Now they’re downsizing, but Stacey can’t sell to just anyone. She needs the right buyer, who will keep her secrets.

Millie and Tom have always imagined living in the Glass House. Now it’s for sale. With property prices booming, if they can sell quickly, it could be theirs. But are the house and its charming owners all they seem?

Harper and Kyle are moving up in the world. They need a new house, in the right school district, to give their children the start in life they never had. Millie and Tom’s is perfect. It’ll take every penny they have, and more, but it’ll be worth it. Won’t it?

When one of the sales falls through, how far will someone go to get everything they’ve always wanted?

A totally addictive and absolutely gripping psychological thriller with a killer twist you won’t see coming. Fans of The Family Upstairs, Our House and The Couple Next Door will be hooked from the very first page.

Really enjoyed this book, full of love-to-hate characters. Kept me guessing and interested the whole way. Will definitely read more fr this author!

[Eedge Eeva · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Oh, WoW, I even don't know what to say. As much I wasn't sure on the beginning of the book I am so happy I carried on as this was so amazing thriller! The twists and turns was crazy and heart racing!
Just unbelievable how book starting as simple novel about selling and buying a house ended up as crazy roller coaster for so many people.
Brilliant opportunity to look into the psychopath mind!
