It is promoted as a mystery/thriller but is really more like slow moving “drama with some mystery” centring around the self-absorbed Caroline and her inability to determine which of the two men in her life she wants to be with…the drug addled husband or the “toy boy” office colleague. There was so much opportunity to make this a true psychological thriller but too much of the book is spent on Caroline’s dalliance with the boyfriend and her constant musings on the boyfriend. I couldn’t get my teeth into House Swap but it will probably please a lot of people as there is nothing wrong with the writing. It just wasn’t for me. I enjoyed this book. This type of premise always seems to lead to an interesting story. This time, the story was just a little bit crazy. I think if I’d had all the information early on, I may have guessed who was in the house. Regardless, this book kept me interested and I was surprised more than once. I can’t say I was blown away by the ending as I somewhat expected it, but I was shocked that it actually happened. I enjoyed this book.

I was really intrigued by the description of this book and while I did enjoy it, it just didn't keep me on the edge of my seat like I hoped. I think it had the potential to get really intense but it kind of fell flat. It was a good story overall, just not as much of a thriller as I usually like. I was given a copy of this galley courtesy of the First to Read program in exchange for my honest review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"A hypnotic domestic noir novel in which a house swap becomes the eerie backdrop to a crumbling marriage, a torrid affair, and the fatal consequences that unfold Be careful who you let in. When Caroline and Francis receive an offer to house swap--from their city apartment to a house in a leafy, upscale London suburb--they jump at the chance for a week away from home, their son, and the tensions that have pushed their marriage to the brink. As the couple settles in, the old problems that permeate their marriage--his unhealthy behaviors, her indiscretions--start bubbling to the surface. But while they attempt to mend their relationship, their neighbor, an intense young woman, is showing a little too much interest in their activities. Meanwhile, Caroline slowly begins to uncover some signs of life in the stark house--signs of her life. The flowers in the bathroom or the music might seem innocent to anyone else--but to her they are clues. It seems the person they have swapped with is someone who knows her, someone who knows the secrets she's desperate to forget"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
