Under Her Roof by A.A. Chaudhuri
The Blurb
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 finds out 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?
My Thoughts
As soon as I got the email announcing the tour for ‘Under her Roof’ I knew I had to be part of it…and it did not disappoint. I read ‘The Final Party’ by this author and I was hooked from page 1 – Under Her Roof had the same effect!
This book really is a page turning, gripping, psychological thriller. Similar to ‘The Final Party’, this book follows a few different characters and is told from their different perspectives – this really does add to the suspense.
The pace of this book is perfect, it begins slow whilst introducing the characters Sebastian and Adriana and then picks up once they both receive rather chilling messages from an unknown character and the plot unravels.
I really enjoyed the ‘then’ and ‘now’ style this story forms, giving us details of Adriana’s back story, providing further depth to the character. This keeps you guessing as a reader, and allows you to begin putting the pieces together.
The author takes the reader down many avenues, but I will admit, I was not even close to discovering the final plot twist of this story and that makes this a perfect read for me.
If you love a truly gripping thriller – then this is the book for you. I highly recommend A.A. Chaudhuri – thank you for the brilliant work.
