Welcome to Litsy!

I read and loved “The One” by John Marrs and I‘ve been meaning to read more from him ever since. Unfortunately this one wasn‘t nearly as thought provoking, but it still had some redeeming qualities. I did figure out a major “twist” nearly immediately. I was waiting for another huge reveal that never really came. Much here about dementia and those in the home health care field, in Britain apparently called “carers”. Fine but I was expecting more.

5 Stars • The Stranger in Her House by John Marrs is a psychological thriller that explores the story of Connie, who returns home from Italy to take care of her ailing mother, Gwen. A stranger named Paul, sent by a charity, infiltrates their lives under the guise of helping with odd jobs. Connie becomes suspicious of Paul's intentions, leading to a tense and twisty narrative that delves into themes of manipulation, deception and vulnerability. ⬇️

Well that was wild. I think I preferred the first half .. and I think I‘m ready for a change of genre. But I‘ll be back to John Marrs again , he‘s tried and trusted now.

One newly washed dog and me ready for an early night … This book is a real page turner. I‘m halfway, not too happy with some of the plot developments… but loving the pure escapism of it all. John Marrs is such a good thriller writer. So glad to have discovered him here on Litsy @BarbaraBB 🙏♥️

My favorite thing about John Marrs books is that your reach a conclusion but you still have plenty of book left and you KNOW there are more twists. Engaging from start to finish, I hit 10% left and thought it could be complete. But nay nay, there was one last thing to drop your jaw!
