Your estate agent calls.
She’s running late and needs you to show a man around your home.
You let him in and begin the tour.
But something about him feels wrong . . .
You ask him to leave and he refuses.
Then he tells you something about you. Something inconceivable.
And then you realize. . .
He doesn't want your house. He wants YOU.

Critics Review
-
The tension mounts with every chapter in this edge-of-the-seat, tense and twisty thriller. Don't miss it!
B. A. Paris, author of The Therapist

What a cleverly plotted and unputdownable thriller. The House Hunt is tense from the very first page with a gasp-out-loud moment that I never guessed. So pacy and addictive. Just brilliant!
Claire Douglas, author of The Couple at No 9
-
Nobody does heart-thumping, dry-mouth, claustrophobic thrillers like C. M. Ewan. The House Hunt is exceptional, with a glorious WTF moment
Sharon Bolton, author of The Pact
-
Unbearably tense, effortlessly plotted and packed with twists, Chris Ewan is the master of the cat-and-mouse thriller. . .

Read this in one unplanned whirlwind binge. The perfect one sitting read. A propulsive, tightly plotted, minimalist treat
Catherine Steadman, author of The Family Game

You can almost feel the walls closing in on you as you race through The House Hunt! It’s intense and claustrophobic, a darkly creepy thriller that will have you looking over your shoulder long after finishing it
Gilly Macmillan, author of The Long Weekend

With relentless pace, Chris Ewan turns an ordinary, everyday situation into a terrifying nightmare, as the story becomes a desperate one of survival against the odds. Prepare yourself for a sleepless night!
Jane Shemilt, author of The Patient

Be prepared to put everything else on hold until you've finished The House Hunt, because once it grips you it doesn't let go. C. M. Ewan is one of the very best thriller writers I know
