Summary
“Mark Edwards always delivers! Taut, gripping, scary and original - a fabulous read!” - Robert Bryndza, #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author
A beautiful home. A loving wife. And in-laws to die for.
Gemma Robinson comes into Elliot’s life like a whirlwind, and they marry and settle into his home. When she asks him if her parents can come to stay for a couple of weeks, he is keen to oblige - he just doesn’t quite know what he’s signing up for.
The Robinsons arrive with Gemma’s sister, Chloe, a mysterious young woman who refuses to speak or leave her room. Elliot starts to suspect that the Robinsons are hiding a dark secret. And then there are the scars on his wife’s body that she won’t talk about....
As Elliot’s in-laws become more comfortable in his home, encroaching on all aspects of his life, it becomes clear that they have no intention of moving out. To protect Gemma, and their marriage, Elliot delves into the Robinsons’ past. But is he prepared for the truth?
From the two million copy bestselling author comes a tale about the chilling consequences of welcoming strangers into your home.

Be careful who you invite to stay!
I bought this on the day of release and started listening straight away and I wasn't disappointed.
In The Magpies we had the neighbours from hell but in this book Mr Edwards brings us the in-laws from hell and the scenario is so scarily believable. He always writes such memorable characters but what a nasty, vile pair Lizzie and Jeff are! Elliott, on the other hand, I loved. As a scientist he is obviously intelligent but also hard working, charming and just lovely. And he's a cat-lover! And his house, which he has renovated with love sounds wonderful, though it is situated on Cuckoo Lane!
The book hurtles along, and I didn't want to stop listening. There is a claustrophobic, menacing feel to it which builds throughout the book. There are all the usual twists and turns, and a terrific ending …. that last sentence!!
James Langton is a terrific narrator, adding so much to my enjoyment of a brilliant book. Highly recommended.

my least favourite Mark Edwards story
I am a huge fan of Mark Edwards and came across him after reading follow you home and the devil's work. the narration is always really good by James Langton but I often find all femal e characters kind of sound the same but I guess that's due to a male doing the voices.
without giving away any spoilers I found it very easy to guess what was going on but this might be due to me already understanding Mark Edwards type of writing, I found the male main character to be quite weak and very clueless (the chapter in the restaurant gives too much away)
I don't regret listening to the story but it definitely isn't as good as marks other work

Great narrator wasted on this book.
I worried more about the cat than anything else. Couldn't finish it. Waste of a credit.

Don’t bother
Sadly this book was rubbish!
Such an unbelievable story line. I hoped it would get better as the story progressed. However sadly not, if anything it got worse!
Very disappointing

started well
This audio book is the first i have listened to from this author. It started well and had me gripped. 3/4 in it started to get far fetched and predictable. Would listen to another by this author. Narrator was good
