Review: Spare Room

Spare Room by Dreda Say Mitchell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW

So here goes:

Lisa Kendal is a mess, she takes antidepressants ad hoc, she has night terrors, sleep walks and is a little paranoid to say the least.

Lisa rents the Spare Room in Martha and Jack’s beautiful home, there are very strict house rules, which seem a little over the top but she is determined to stay and find out what happened to the previous tenant. She has found a suicide note and writings on the wall and is certain something bad went on in that house...

Oh my.....what a story, Dreda Say Mitchell has created a taut tale that just bristles with tension. CLICHE ALERT.....but I really couldn’t put it down, I had to know, was Lisa having a breakdown ? Is Jack violent ? What secrets are being kept from Lisa, by her parents, Doctor and Martha ? Who is John and what terrible event happened in that house?

This truly gave me goosebumps, that shivery tingle down my spine with the final, marvellously horrific reveal. A masterpiece of tension, brilliant and a must read for lovers of psychological thrillers.
