What to expect

'Pacey, twisty and with so many reveals I literally did have my jaw in the floor! I absolutely loved this book. If you’re a fan of a thriller, great drama, and a book with so many twists you’ll get whiplash then this is for you!’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They were told to leave. They should have listened.

The perfect opportunity…

A manor house available rent-free to house-sitters is an offer too good to miss for Cass and James, who have been saving for a deposit on their own home for so long.

Although it had been abandoned for almost thirty years, after a home invasion left almost all the inhabitants dead, it is an amazing chance for them to build their future.

But is it worth the price?

Shortly after moving in things take a sinister turn. Objects disappear and turn up in odd places, the clock always stops at the same time, the house is strangely oppressive and sometimes it feels like Cass and James are not alone.

Newington House may have bad energy, and a dark reputation. But surely there’s no reason for history to repeat itself, is there?

“What a story! The premise of The Intruders hooked me from the start: a young couple moving into a creepy manor house with a history of unsolved murders and dark goings-on. Irresistible! The twists and turns of both the backstory and the present-day plot had me turning the pages, wondering how it all fitted together – and when the truth started to unfold, it did not disappoint. Absolutely loved it.” Helen Cooper
