The Family at No. 1 Summary:

Anything can happen behind closed doors…

When estate agent Laura Bradley is asked to sell number 1 Aspen Hollow, it feels like a dream come true. The house is beautiful—five bedrooms and a perfect garden, surrounded by lush woodland. Laura loves finding a family their dream home, even as each night she returns to a cramped single room.

Laura tries to ignore the red paint thrown at the walls of the house, the strange noises upstairs and the threatening messages she is receiving. Whatever its history, the beautiful house deserves a second chance.

But by the time Laura finds out what really happened to the family at number 1, it is far too late. Someone doesn’t want the house to be sold, for its secrets to surface. They have killed before and they are willing to kill again to keep the truth hidden…

My Review:

To begin with, I’d like to thank Netgalley for supplying an ARC of this book to me. I greatly appreciate it! Netgalley is a platform where you can request ebook and audiobook ARCs, and it is completely free to use! I highly recommend trying it out!

I love a good mystery/thriller, and this book was no exception! Rather than one good, unexpected twist- there were several. And I will say, I was nowhere near solving the mystery correctly!

We are given multiple pov’s- our main character (the realtor), the convicted murderer, a neighbor, and even the victim from the past timeline. It was so good!

a twisty, psychological thriller

A realtor trying to sell the house where a husband murdered his wife and child is an impossible task. Especially when it seems someone is trying to sabotage the sale.

In conclusion:

I really enjoyed this book (and the audiobook) and I ate it up! It kept me interested and engaged the whole time!
