Sinossi
Dall'autrice di Le sorelle, un nuovo thriller psicologico di cui è impossibile indovinare il finale scioccante. Leggere per credere.
Troppo bella per essere vera. Così sembra a Libby la proposta, del tutto inaspettata, di fare uno scambio di casa per una settimana: una splendida villa, affacciata sul mare selvaggio della Cornovaglia, in cambio del suo piccolo appartamento a Bath. Anche il tempismo non poteva essere migliore. A nove mesi dalle nozze, le cose col marito Jamie non vanno come Libby aveva sperato e pure il lavoro d'insegnante si sta rivelando più frustrante del previsto. E poi c’è quella voglia di scappare, che è diventata sempre più forte da quando una sua foto è comparsa su tutti i giornali, dopo che lei ha salvato uno dei suoi alunni da un incendio divampato a scuola. Da allora, Libby vive nel terrore che quella foto possa spalancare la porta a un passato da cui lei ha cercato disperatamente di fuggire. E i suoi sospetti trovano conferma nel momento in cui arriva in Cornovaglia con Jamie. La sequenza di piccoli incidenti e strane coincidenze è troppo lunga per essere frutto del caso. È possibile che la stiano minacciando? Che quelle presenze sinistre in giardino siano persone che la stanno spiando? Oppure è soltanto la paranoia a rendere Libby sospettosa? La risposta arriva col ritorno a Bath, e non è certo rassicurante. Gli incidenti, infatti, si fanno sempre più gravi e inquietanti. A questo punto Libby non ha più dubbi: qualcuno l'ha trovata. Qualcuno che conosce il suo segreto. E stavolta scappare non servirà a nulla…

Recensioni
DNF @40% Unfortunately this book just didn't work for me. I thought the story was extremely slow - I kept waiting for something to happen and it did not. I also found the main character of Libby to be insipid. Though this is coined as a mystery/suspense, I think it is more of a domestic drama/domest Leggi tutto
This book is everything I want in a psychological thriller. Secrets, lies, twists and turns that will have you flying through the pages. Libby has recently had a miscarriage and is feeling depressed. Not to mention that since the miscarriage her marriage to Jamie has been strained and stressed. Sudd Leggi tutto
Libby and her husband Jamie are offered the chance at a house swap; their cozy 2 bedroom flat in Bath, for a gorgeous house in the middle of nowhere overlooking the sea in Cornwall. A holiday couldn't have come at a better time for them. Libby was caught up in a fire at the school where she teaches, Leggi tutto
4 STARS - 'Last seen alive' Claire Douglas. I finished this book a while ago but I dropped my phone down the toilet (come on I know I'm not the only one who has done this) so wasn't able to write my review until now. I don't know where to start! This hits the nail on psychological thriller's head! Li Leggi tutto
This is quite honestly the worst book I have ever read. I was bored by the first 1/3, the Thailand tale kind of piqued my interest but only because it was so descriptive, it was for this I gave the 2 star rating the last part was so far fetched and unbelievable I lost the will to live. I had no emoti Leggi tutto
* https://mrsbbookreviews.wordpress.com Claire Douglas first came to my attention when I read and thoroughly endorsed her book, Sisters. Since then, I have also read Local Girl Missing, which I recall as being one of my favourite psychological thrillers of last year. Douglas is back with another jam p Leggi tutto
After receiving a leaflet through their door and needing some time to themselves after a traumatic event Libby and Jamie Hall jump at the chance to swap their tiny city flat for a beautiful house by the sea.But as soon as they arrive at the Hideaway Libby starts to get jittery and becomes convinced
4.5 Stars!! This book captivated me so much I finished it and a whole two days which is unheard of for me! It reminded me a little bit of several different Thrillers I read last year however it was unique and it's very own way. I own Douglass's previous two novels and cannot wait to start them next!

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review. Twisty-turny plot, handled masterfully to create a compelling book that gets readers guessing. Again, this was one of those books that I had no prior knowledge of, and the only clue was the menacing title, combined with a Leggi tutto
When I read Local Girl Missing by Claire Douglas my lasting impression was pretty unremarkable and I found it another psychological thriller with a contrived plot. A solid premise was marred by some artificial characters who behaved woodenly, awkwardly stilted dialogue and some increasingly unlikely Leggi tutto
