DISCOVER THE NEW UNPUTDOWNABLE PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER FROM THE NO.1 BESTSELLER

A fresh start. A safe neighbourhood. Or is it?

You've moved back to your hometown, into a luxury gated community that's designed to keep intruders out. You think your family is safe, but you couldn’t be more wrong.

Your nine-year-old son says there’s a man living in the attic.

You keep hearing noises up there when you’re all alone, but when you check, the loft space is empty.

And then your daughter shows you something on her phone – a video of a man walking around inside your house while no one is home – and you start to panic.

Why would a stranger target you? Unless they’re not a stranger at all.

Don't miss Andrea Mara's unputdownable new novel, It Should Have Been You - available now!

Critics Review

This is Andrea Mara at her heart stopping best. Someone In The Attic is a dark, creepy, twisty thriller full of clever misdirection that would make Hitchcock proud, but it’s also a moving and thought-provoking tale of regret and letting go of the past. A brilliant book.
Claire Douglas
This heart-thumpingly tense thriller may give you nightmares
Sun
Someone is getting inside your house… It’s a chilling premise, and Andrea Mara executes it brilliantly. This one is an absolute page turner!
Shari Lapena
Grabs you from the off and doesn't let you go… Andrea Mara is the Queen of the Cliffhanger. I guarantee that you won't be able to put this book down.
CL Taylor
A gripping story, beautifully told. Andrea Mara is masterful.
Patricia Cornwell
A genuinely chilling concept – told with skill, empathy, and wit. I enjoyed every terrifying page.
Elly Griffiths
‘A tense, terrifying, guessing game. Someone in the Attic twists, thrills and chills. I loved it.’
Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End.
Does for bathtubs what Psycho did for showers. A thriller honed to a fine point, sharp and keen and piercing; it's darkly comic, too, and uncommonly observant. This is suspense you can feel good about.
A. J. Finn
Mara... lays out the pieces of the puzzle with diabolical wit, some good suspense and an unexpected note of sentimentality.
New York Times
Fast-paced and chilling, you won’t want to sleep alone after reading it
