The Housekeeper

 

The Housekeeper by Valerie Keogh-psychological thriller           

An interesting title and one that made me think- not a housekeeper in the domestic sense but the keeper of a house. Cassie has bought Hindon house- an old partly derelict property with a view to making it a bed and breakfast. She lost her husband in a car crash a while ago and is determined to make a new start in the country. She soon finds Daniel and employs his company to do the building work for her, however since she has arrived the lights keep going out- a switch being flipped in the fuse box. She's had the electrics checked and it keeps happening. Is someone trying to put her off living there? Many others have only lasted a short time and no-one really knows why, just thinking they ran out of funds to do the place up. Who would want Cassie out, why, and what is her secret about what happened with her husband?

Oh wow! I know when a book is good that I read it in a setting or two in day- I couldn't take my eyes away from it. There is a brilliant tension between the pages which kept me turning to ever find out what on earth was happening and why. There are a few well thought out red herrings and the perpetrator…… I won’t give anything away. A very clever, brilliantly written book that totally had me hooked right the way through. P.S don’t read this one alone with the lights out….
