Three couples. Three houses. One home to die for...

Millie and Tom have always imagined living in the Glass House. Now it’s for sale. With property prices booming, if they can sell quickly, it could be theirs. But are the house and its charming owners all they seem?

Harper and Kyle are moving up in the world. They need a new house, in the right school district, to give their children the start in life they never had. Millie and Tom’s is perfect. It’ll take every penny they have, and more, but it’ll be worth it. Won’t it?

When one of the sales falls through, how far will someone go to get everything they’ve always wanted?

I love this writer and had pre ordered this book but I'm not sure whether I liked it, It was so very, very dark and became increasingoy disturbing . The storyline is good but I'm not sure if it is really credible, at least to my mind. I did not care for the subject matter as it was creepy and the ending was really gruesome. All in all although well written and gripping it stayed with me after reading in a negative way but my goodness what an imagination the writer has. I still have to give it 4 stars though

A book that really keeps you on your toes and nothing is quite as it seems, it twists and turns all over the place and is quite scary in places. I definitely need a lighthearted read after this dark, thrilling book!

“You think you’ve found your dream home…Think again…” The New House is an intriguing and fascinating tale both in plot and it’s characters. This is quite a hard book to review as I don’t want to give any spoilers away, but I will say there is way more to this book than what the blurb provides. So much more indeed *rubs hands with glee!* Thrilling, chilling and so very twisted, this is one deviously clever and wicked tale that I really enjoyed and highly recommend you checking out.

Tess Stimson is the British author of twelve novels, including top-ten bestseller The Adultery Club, and two non-fiction books, which between them have been translated into dozens of languages.

Her first "proper" job after graduating from St Hilda's College, Oxford (where she read English) was as a news trainee with ITN (Independent Television News). She reported and produced regional and world stories, travelling to hotspots and war-zones all over the globe.

In 2002, she was appointed Professor of Creative Writing at the University of South Florida and moved to the US. She now lives and works in Vermont with her husband, Erik, their three children, and (at the last count) two cats, three fish, one gerbil and a large number of bats in the attic.
