The gripping new thriller with a difference from internationally bestselling author Lisa Stone
An isolated cottage…
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.
A tap at the window…
Very quickly though, things take a dark turn. At night, Jan hears strange noises, and faint taps at the window. Something, or someone, is out there.
A forest that hides many secrets…
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…

L'autore
“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; these books start with a fact which I develop.”
Lisa Stone lives in England, has 3 children, and 27 books published under the pseudonym Cathy Glass, many of which have become best-sellers.

Al momento, si è verificato un problema durante il filtraggio delle recensioni. Riprova più tardi.
The plot is quite surreal and when I understood the point of the situation everything became clear, all too clear.
It's a suspense thriller but I didn't feel the suspense element at all and I would have something to object to the thriller too.
It was a boring and predictable reading to me, with characters without depth and with obvious dialogues. I understood how it would end after just a few pages.
That's a big no for me.

The characters themselves were straight out of the Stereotyper's Guide To Cliched Characters (if there is such a book this author definitely owns it) and were so badly drawn it was hard to tell who or what they were supposed to be. I was particularly amused by the twenty-somethings who, had I not been told their ages, I'd have had down as being in their late fifties. The dialogue read like the characters were an am-dram group putting on a play in the village hall.
I read to the end as it was so ridiculous and the characters so painfully awful that I started to enjoy myself - I just kept pretending I was watching a Mike Leigh play (think Abigail's Party or Nuts In May). If you do buy it I challenge you to read it and not hear Candice-Marie and Keith's voices every time the story goes to Emma and Ian.

It is not unusual for the marketing blurb to overpromise, but underdeliver. However, this is one of those fairly rare occasions when the official synopsis does the opposite and underplays the merits of the book. That said, it would also be fair to say that there are some significant elements of this story that rely on the reader being prepared to to suspend disbelief and allow the author some artistic licence. With that proviso, Lisa Stone has delivered a thoroughly engaging suspense thriller that is also regularly thought-provoking.
There are essentially two alternating strands to the narrative. In the one strand there is Jan Hamlin, a woman who has been through some troubling times and has decided to rent a secluded cottage while she tries to pull herself back together. The other relates to Ian & Emma Jennings, a young married couple desperate to start a family. The storylines of the two sets of protagonists appear to be entirely unrelated, though it will not be too much of a spoiler to suggest that the reader will anticipate them becoming relevant to one another at some point - because those are the rules and that is just how these things work! It is left to the skill of the writer to weave these strands together in a manner that is not just captivating, but also plausible and acceptable to the reader's sense of authenticity. In this instance Lisa Stone makes a pretty good job of it.
Very often, the stories that draw the audience in most successfully and that create the most palpable tension are those that you can actually envisage happening in reality. That is certainly the case with "The Cottage". For the sake of avoiding spoilers I will not go into detail, just suffice to say that there are themes fundamental to this plot that are based on real-life happenings and, as such, are all the more disturbing. This one is well worth adding to your reading list.



This however is in my opinion the best one yet. A combination of two stories that come together as the book goes on. A girl escaping the world to look after a cottage and the owners dog while she is away experiences some strange noises and sightings mostly during the night. The cottage is in the middle of nowhere next to a dense woodland.
The other side of the story is a couple have just given birth to their second child who they believe is dead, but is he?
I read this book mainly in bed at night and it was a little eerie but I couldn’t put it down until all the pieces of the story came together.
Absolutely brilliant story and well written as are all her books. Got to wait for her next one now.
Highly recommend this author and this book
