What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

No one suspects a thing.
When your daughter shows you a video of a masked man climbing out of an attic, you initially ignore her. But then you recognise the carpet, the stairs and the paintings. Your heart skips a beat, because the footage was filmed inside your house…

Someone wants revenge.
You’re certain no one could access this luxury gated community, designed to keep intruders out. But then the second video arrives – the same as the first – and you really begin to panic.

Everyone is hiding something.
Could someone be living in your attic? Why would a stranger target you? And what if it’s not a stranger at all?

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
