The Open House by Sam Carrington



My Rating: ★★★


Nick and Amber Miller are splitting up and selling their Devon family home. But despite the desirable location, the house isn’t moving. Not a single viewing so far.

So, when their estate agent suggests an open house event, despite her initial hesitation Amber agrees. But after the event Amber has more to worry about.

Because thirteen people enter her house that afternoon, and only twelve leave.

The premise was so intriguing and I was excited to read it.

Initially the book started out really good, there was everything that one could want in a psychological thriller. The pace of narration of the plot was good, there were suspicious characters, an interesting open house event as well as some unexpected twists at regular intervals.

But then suddenly towards the end it felt that everything was all over the place. Some of the characters just went missing from the plot without any explanation and the twists introduced to create a spectacular end were kind of too unreal and lacking substance.

Overall an interesting plot which missed the mark for me because of flat ending.

Thank You to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for this ARC!
