This book is what nightmares are made of! I loved it.

A family enjoying a quiet barbeque on a Sunday are unaware that when a dying man shows up at their back gate, all hell is about to break loose.

You tried to save a life. Now you’re fighting to save your own.
It should have been an idyllic day for the Turner family – until a dying man, beaten beyond all recognition, arrives at their home, uttering the words, HELP ME.
Rob and Wendy Turner and their children try to explain away the horrific scene as being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but in the days that follow their lives are threatened in ways they could never imagine.

After that fateful Sunday odd occurrence start happening, and that is only the beginning.
A lot of the “happenings” could have been easily avoided if the father, Rob, pulled his head out of his ass. This would have also helped his family avoid a lot of hassle and pain.
This describes him perfectly…

“… the man was a blinkered, boorish oaf, obstinate to the point of insanity”

However I found all the other characters likable enough to make up for Rob’s abysmal attitude throughout the book. However I must say that his arrogance, whilst it made me want to hit him with a shovel, definitely added to the story line.

This is a well written psychological thriller, which vaguely reminded me of the movie ‘The Strangers’. If you are looking for a book with plot twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat I highly recommend this book.

I received a copy of the book from NetGalley and Bookouture in exchange for an honest review.
