Under Her Roof is described as "intense, intricate and packed with intrigue... a thrilling and addictive read" by B.A. Paris.

It seems too good to be true…

When struggling writer Sebastian finds a room to let in a palatial Hampstead residence, he cannot believe his luck. The rent is ridiculously cheap, and he immediately feels a connection with his beautiful widowed landlady, Adriana.

It is.

Things take a dark turn when he discovers what happened to the last lodger. Could this be why the house is a fortress of security, and why Adriana seems so fragile? Adriana doesn’t want to talk about the death and sadness that seem to follow her wherever she goes, and Sebastian has secrets of his own.

Now, someone is watching their every move, and there is nowhere to hide. This house of light becomes a dark nightmare as the threat ramps up – what does the watcher want? And how far will they go to get it?

This gripping, twisty thriller is perfect for fans of B.A. Paris, Shari Lapena and Lucy Foley. If you were hooked by Netflix series You or The Watcher, then you will love this.
