WINNER OF CRIME & THRILLER BOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS

On a bright morning in the London suburbs, a family moves into the house they’ve just bought on Trinity Avenue. Nothing strange about that. Except it's your house. And you didn’t sell it.

FOR BETTER, FOR WORSE.
When Fi Lawson arrives home to find strangers moving into her house, she is plunged into terror and confusion. She and her husband Bram have owned their home on Trinity Avenue for years and have no intention of selling. How can this other family possibly think the house is theirs? And why has Bram disappeared when she needs him most?

FOR RICHER, FOR POORER.
Bram has made a catastrophic mistake and now he is paying. Unable to see his wife, his children or his home, he has nothing left but to settle scores. As the nightmare takes grip, both Bram and Fi try to make sense of the events that led to a devastating crime. What has he hidden from her – and what has she hidden from him? And will either survive the chilling truth – that there are far worse things you can lose than your house?

This was gripping right from the start. A woman comes home to find her house has been sold and new people are moving in. Where is her furniture? Where is her husband? Where are the children?

Cut to husband who then explains where he is and why.

The story then goes back and forth to show how both people got to the place they are at. There are some twists I was not expecting (I wasn't looking) and I liked the end. It could have gone a few ways.

I don't want to do any spoilers so won't go into detail but this was a really good book. I hope the author writes more.

The reason it did not get 5 stars was because each time it cut to the woman it gave a time or date; which was really irritating. If it was the written word you could have ignored it.

Really good story

The settings were also very realistic and plausible. However, it left me with an overwhelming sense of sadness. Are women these days really expected to be so callous in the face of male frailty? The tragedy is that Bram never seemed to consider that maybe his wife ought to have shown him the sort of tolerance that they both showered on their children.

I couldn’t put it down full of suspense and twisting and turning to an unpredictable end.

A very clever idea and story line .However the pace of this story was painfully slow.The plot had me gripped but by the time I got to the end I had lost the will .I found I disliked Fi as a character,she was not particularly warm and she presented as being both pretentious and judgemental.It was easier to like Bram who turned out to be the real victim.

Cleverly crafted but painfully slow

Really enjoyed the story but the female narration was poor, sounded like she had a cold and in some points sounded like she was whispering. Very irritating. The male narration was excellent, shame he didn't read it all.

Mixed feelings
