This is my first time reading the author. I read a lot of thriller and this appealed to me because of the title, a bit of a cliché but effective, nevertheless. I also loved the fact the book is set in a small village. My favourite place for nefarious activities to take place. Madi and Prue do a house swap which I wasn't expecting and something I haven't read in fiction before. This added something original to the book. I personally would not house swap and have a stranger nosing through my stuff. Prue discovers it isn't as easy as she thinks to run away when she gets a sense someone is visiting Madi's house during the night. What are they? What do they want? Do they know Prue is there or think she's Madi? And just what did Prue do that was so terrible? I found this engaging and compelling, a terrific read.
