Most of this book takes place over one long, tense, terrifying night. Tom, Rachel, and their daughter Holly, are staying at a picturesque private lodge in the middle of nowhere, recovering from a mugging. They are also still coming to terms with their son's death in a car accident. The secluded getaway should be just what they needed, but instead they find themselves being chased, hiding and fighting for their lives. The terrifying events are interspersed with flashbacks to what happened to the son. As the story progresses, the layers of secrets and lies are slowly peeled away.

This book is a page turner. I needed to keep reading to find out what was happening, and each time I thought I could predict the ending, something new was revealed. It's an exciting read, with lots of twists and turns. The isolation is really well put across, the atmospheric writing adding to the fear and panic. Not a book I would want to read whilst alone in the house, I have to admit!… (lisätietoja)
