The House Sitter by Keri Beevis

-

Keri Beevis is a wonderful thriller author so when this book came up for review with Rachel’s Random Resources, I had to jump on the tour!


About the book:

She knows what she saw. But can she prove it?

After my relationship breaks down, I agree to house-sit my brother Dexter's posh apartment whilst he’s out of the country. It will give me some much needed head space.

Sitting on the balcony one sweltering summer's night in the midst of a power cut, I'm given a secret window into the lives of the residents in the opposite building, and I see more than I should.

I'm drawn to a man in the Penthouse and watch him closely; when a striking woman joins him on the balcony, I can’t tear my eyes away.

The following weekend a woman matching her exact description is reported missing. She’s not been seen since that fateful night. When I go to the police, the man in the penthouse has a cast-iron alibi and denies she was ever there.

I know what I saw and I can’t let it go. The deeper I dig, the more dangerous things become.

Someone is watching me too. Just how much can I trust the neighbours?


Review:

I’ve read many of the author’s books because I’m guaranteed a twisty thriller. This book was no exception in the thriller category but it also included a romance element that is not normally in her books. It is the authors first time writing in romance and it was excellent. 

Nina moves into her bothers apartment after a breakup with the intention to house sit for his cat while she looks for a new place to live. Her brother’s friend and owner of the apartment unexpectedly comes back to town. At the same time Nina is peeking on her neighbors and witnesses what she later finds out may be a crime. This book is filled with mystery, romance, and secrets. It is a fun read with twists that come out of nowhere!


About to the author:

Keri Beevis is the internationally bestselling author of several psychological thrillers and romantic suspense mysteries, including the very successful Dying to Tell. She sets many of her books in the county of Norfolk, where she was born and still lives and which provides much of her inspiration.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure.
