About this ebook
'The last line will make you literally shout with shock' Good Housekeeping
'Terrifically twisty ... hooks from the first page' Sunday Times
On a bright morning in the London suburbs, a family moves into the house they’ve just bought on Trinity Avenue.
Nothing strange about that. Except it's your house. And you didn’t sell it.
FOR BETTER, FOR WORSE.
When Fi Lawson arrives home to find strangers moving into her house, she is plunged into terror and confusion. She and her husband Bram have owned their home on Trinity Avenue for years and have no intention of selling. How can this other family possibly think the house is theirs? And why has Bram disappeared when she needs him most?
FOR RICHER, FOR POORER.
Bram has made a catastrophic mistake and now he is paying. Unable to see his wife, his children or his home, he has nothing left but to settle scores. As the nightmare takes grip, both Bram and Fi try to make sense of the events that led to a devastating crime. What has he hidden from her – and what has she hidden from him? And will either survive the chilling truth – that there are far worse things you can lose than your house?
TILL DEATH US DO PART.
Praise for Our House:
'If 2018 brings a better book than Our House I will eat my hat. Addictive, twisty and oh so terrifyingly possible’ Clare Mackintosh
‘I raced through it this weekend. Such a smart idea. Twisty, warped, credible. Brilliantly plotted and compelling. Deserves to be such a hit’ Sarah Vaughan
‘Louise Candlish is a great writer;she inhaled me into her nightmarish world where everything we think we know is ripped from under our feet’ Fiona Barton
''A masterfully plotted, compulsive page-turner' Guardian
'Keeps you guessing to the end - and beyond' Stylist
'Whip-smart, knowing and brilliantly plotted' India Knight
'A corker' Evening Standard
'Terrific premise' New York Times
'Wonderfully plotted' Jane Garvey, Woman's Hour
'A blood pressure-raising thriller' Red
‘Gripping and heartbreaking with an undercurrent of unease running through it’ Louise Jensen
‘What a book! Fast, edge-of-your-seat stuff. Each time I set the book down I had to remind myself to breathe’ broadbeanbooks
‘Oh Louise Candlish, you are a genius! Our House is just brilliant. Scarily believable with the BEST ending I have read in a long time. I devoured it!’ Claire Frost, Fabulous magazine

Fantastic book. The whole bird nest set up was really interesting. A couple get divorced and instead of making the kids go between mum and dad's new houses they stay in the home. The parents buy a cheap flat where they stay on the days when they aren't in the family home. So when dad is at the house the mum is in the flat and vice versa. The ending is a cracker.

Different. First book by Louise that I've read. Really enjoyed it. Got the first two chapters free with a magazine; would never have found it otherwise. Will look at other books by Louise Candish.
