The tension mounts with every chapter in this edge-of-the-seat, tense and twisty thriller. Don't miss it! -- B. A. Paris
A cleverly plotted and unputdownable thriller, The House Hunt is tense from the very first page with a gasp-out-loud moment no one sees coming. So pacy and addictive. Just brilliant! -- Claire Douglas
Heart-thumping, dry-mouth, claustrophobic thriller with a glorious "WTF" moment. The House Hunt is exceptional, confirms Sharon Bolton.
Unbearably tense, effortlessly plotted and packed with twists. Chris Ewan proves a master of the cat-and-mouse thriller. -- Tim Weaver
Tense, taut, and terrifying. A knife-edge dilemma turned into the stuff of nightmares. Truly impossible to put down. -- Chris Whitaker
