The Cottage: The gripping new 2021 crime suspense thriller with a difference: The gripping new crime suspense thriller with a difference

Product Information

Jan launches into her own investigation about what is going on. There are a couple side stories involved that are seemingly unrelated, but the author ties it all together. I figured out the primary plot twist almost immediately, and though there were a couple other surprises, I still found the book to be predictable, as well as unrealistic. That being said, it definitely is creepy and the author does a great job of creating a haunting atmosphere. Overview: I've been looking forward to reading this book ever since my friend said she read it in a day because she couldn't put it down. It certainly didn't disappoint and I finished it early because I was so intrigued to keep reading, but in all seriousness, this is the most f**ked up book I've read! And it's based on a true story? 🤢🤢 Jan feels things are almost too good to be true when she rents a secluded cottage for a bargain price after losing her boyfriend and job. Everything starts well, until Jan starts hearing strange noises, figures in the dark and strange tapping on the windows.... Emily goes missing a few weeks later, and Ben gets plunged into a panic. His wife did leave him a note, however can she truly have abandoned him for some other man? Or has Emily’s curiosity about the couple living next door led her right into danger?

The Cottage by Lisa Stone | WHSmith

A change of life a breakup, all that might be able to be eased by making a new start somewhere else. This is a spellbinding crime novel with a dark heart that had readers gripped and captivated right from the start. It formed part of the storyline in the film Shallow Hal." Who talks like this in a regular conversation? You'd say "Like in that movie, Shallow Hal". After losing her job and boyfriend, Jan Hamlin is in desperate need of a fresh start. So she jumps at the chance to rent a secluded cottage on the edge of Coleshaw Woods. This one has set on my Netgalley queue for a long while and, as it turns out, for a reason. I do try to be discerning when it comes to mystery thriller selections for there are simply too many for them out there, but it isn’t always possible. And so, sometimes books like this slip through.Jan refuses to be scared off. But whoever is outside isn’t going away, and it soon becomes clear that the nightmare is only just beginning... What readers are saying about The Cottage As a writer of suspense thrillers I often ask myself what if? What if this happened instead of that? Or why a particular person reacted as they did. So often fact is stranger than fiction and these books start with a fact which I develop. You may be surprised to know, for example, just how many patients experience changes in their likes and dislikes after a transplant operation ~ The Darkness Within. Or how easy it is to look into someone’s home through their CCTV ~ Stalker. This was a creepy, though predictable, book, centered on Jan, who rents an isolated cottage in the woods after she loses both her job and her boyfriend. Shortly after moving in, Jan starts seeing and hearing things around the cottage at night. She asks for help but those around her aren't taking it seriously. If anyone else has read Cathy Glass books (same author ) it is written in an “explanation “ within the observations…. As a writer of suspense thrillers she often will ask herself what if? What if this happened rather than that? Or why a certain person would react like they did? So often fact will be stranger than fiction and her books begin with a fact that she develops. You might be surprised to know just how many patients experience changes in their dislikes and likes after a transplant operation: “The Darkness Within”. Or how simple it is to look into somebody’s home through their CCTV: “Stalker”.

It didn’t work out that way though, there were things going on, spooky eerie things. Was it man or beast? It’s not turned out the quietest of places to rest her head! I can take no more. This will be a did not finish for me. I almost plummeted deliberately off the ladder just to make it end. Could anyone with an actual brain read this awful nonsense? The midwife who delivers the so-called dead babies (obviously they weren't dead) has been keeping them because she knew they'd die soon and that would distress the parents? Seriously? She works full time but has a house full of babies and children with birth defects she's tending to and loving until they die to save the parents having to go through this? Uh huh. A house full of mutant children and babies. And she works full time. And the neighbours know nothing. But this life is better for the children than remaining with their own parents until they die. Uh huh. How old is this author? I'm guessing she's never had a baby herself or known anyone who did? All medical data atrocious ... a phenomenon from medicine is borrowed and twisted and altered to ridiculous extents. Completed the book,perhaps I have a masochist tendency .Jan refuses to be scared off.. but whoever or whatever isn't going away. The forest is holding secrets ... and Jan finds the nightmare is only beginning. When the critically ill Jacob Wilson gets a lifesaving heart transplant, his parents are most relieved that their loving son has been saved. But before long, his family must accept that something has changed inside of Jacob. Their formerly loving son is slowly being replaced by a violent man whose mood swings leave them horrified, however is it really their fault? All across the USA, people are showing up dead. The deaths don't appear to be connected in any way until one particular death occurs and gets the Secretary of Defense's attention. He arranges for a task force to investigate. As ever, I'll update when I either fall off the ladder through utter boredom of listening or the book is finished.

They can also determine the sex of the baby from this scan." Again, in casual conversation with a shopkeeper. It sounds more like a formal letter than a casual conversation.Jan refuses to be scared off but whatever is happening isn't going to stop anytime soon and the nightmare is only just beginning. Jan refuses to be scared off. But whoever is outside isn’t going away, and it soon becomes clear that the nightmare is only just beginning… I expected this story to be about Jan and the mystery about an isolated cottage at the edge of a wood. But then other sub-plots were introduced (Ian+Emma, detective) and I thought why I'm reading about them? What they have to do with the Cottage Jan rented?? It made more sense as the story progress and I realized where author heads with this story. If police were looking for footprints and it had rained within an hour or two, it was explained that the rain would have washed the prints away! Surely a reader could deduce this without a verbal teaching aide?
