No Place Like Home- Rebecca Muddiman- 5*
Polly has finally managed to move into her own place. She is so chuffed and
wanting to buy things for her own space- but all in good time. Meanwhile
her mother is in a care home after being found a danger to herself and
very confused.Polly feels that she has had rather a hard time in the past
and is finally getting what she deserves. She arrives home to find someone
is in her house. She doesn't know any of the neighbours yet and it is pouring
with rain. Should she confront him or should for help? Who is in there and
why? Chapters vary between the past ( a few weeks beforehand) and now.
Oooh!!! One of those reads that inveigles you into the pages and you find
yourself trying to read faster and faster to find out what is happening. Just
over halfway through and I was aghast at what was happening as I hadn’t
seen it coming. I liked Polly to start with…..
I won’t spoil anything by saying any more, other than prepare for the
unexpected and maybe just maybe loyalties may change. A book to devour,
one to get engrossed in. If you like one to keep you on the edge of your seat
and keep you up until you have finished it- then this could be the one.
A brilliantly clever, well thought out read.

What does he want and why is he so obsessed with Polly?
In a situation where nothing is what it seems, you might end up regretting
letting some people in.
