Why read it?
2 authors picked Our House as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A gripping domestic thriller that unfolds through multiple perspectives, Our House is an entertaining, original, and twisted page-turner that will keep you guessing until the very last sentence. Candlish masterfully builds tension with short, punchy chapters and perfectly timed reveals that make it impossible to stop at “just one more page.” The story’s clever structure and unpredictable turns deliver a genuine WOW factor, making it one of those rare thrillers that surprises even seasoned readers of the genre.
Gone Girl started the domestic suspense trend and showed us that suspense can be driven by family/household dynamics. Louise Candlish takes this to another level in Our House when the main character comes home to find another family moving into her house. She soon discovers that her husband has sold the house from under her feet and disappeared. This is a fantastic, slow-burn literary thriller with a great ending.
From Sarah's list on for fans of Gone Girl.
