 I Let Him In- Jill Childs-psychological thriller

Lou is cycling back from her ex-boyfriends Toby’s place after trying to talk

to him and them having a row. It's windy and raining and the next thing she

knows she has been hit from behind by an unknown vehicle. When the

paramedics arrive she is heard to say “ Am I going to jail”. She recovers

and is allowed home on crutches due to a broken leg. Her sister Jo

suggests that she get some decorating done- it will brighten the place

up and also give her some company. The lady from victim support has

a contact and so appears Ed on the scene who Lou instantly gets on

with. Both have secrets from their past and without saying very much

soon find that they relate to each other's situation. I quickly became

engrossed in this. There's a tension without really knowing why

along with an air of mystery about both Lou and Ed. Lou tells her

secret but Ed has always said that he will never speak of his. This is

cleverly written to engage the reader and as you find out a snippet

there's more to come. Wow! I didn't see that ending coming! My

head spun for a while and then it all made sense. Wowsers!

Most certainly one to remember.

About the Book: 

Last night I dreamt about the past for the first time in years. I thought I was over it. I thought I’d finally learned to block it out. But I’m right back there, all over again, inside the house. The room is dark, the corners black with shadow. Then, the scream…

When Louise Taylor is hit by a car as she cycles home in the rain following a fight with her boyfriend, she’s left hurt, frightened and confused. And worse, something tells her it wasn’t an accident.

Housebound in her cramped apartment while she recovers, flashbacks to her traumatic childhood begin to resurface, threatening her hard-won self-control. Desperate to keep busy and distract herself, she hires Edward – a friend of a friend – to repaint her shabby living room and, hopefully, keep the past at bay.

But when Edward arrives – quiet, considerate and handsome – Lou instantly feels like they’ve met before, that she can trust him. Tired of carrying the guilt alone after all these years, Lou tells Edward her secret. And to her surprise, he doesn’t pull away. He doesn’t gasp, or grimace or preach about what she did. And Lou is so relieved to finally be free of this burden at last.

Until she learns that Edward has a secret of his own. One he’s been waiting a very, very long time to tell…

A gripping domestic drama from a USA Today bestselling author full of twists and turns, and with a very unexpected ending. Fans of Amanda Prowse, Kerry Fisher and Jodi Picoult won’t be able to stop turning the pages.
