There’s a serious story behind this novel and Blake acknowledges that with a reference to Suzy Lamplugh the estate agent who went missing 40 years ago following a house showing. This is fiction but zeitgeisty and relevant. At the beginning of 2025, Rosie Kinsella get a new job in London. It appears to be a godsend at first. She was having a great time in Paris selling high end apartments, but the experience was soured by her relationship with Xavier, the colleague who turned out to be married. Soon the fresh start in London with Sterling and co. seems to go wrong too. Initially Rosie likes her new colleagues, they are an eclectic bunch from very different backgrounds and Sterling himself is a very supportive employer. But – then there’s Michael. Michael isn’t an employee but he sends regular emails and messages to Rosie, chilling messages that indicate he is watching her every move. Although there’s no direct threat it’s implied and it builds up the creepy atmosphere in the book. Rosie is worried enough that she reports these and has a very popular social media presence which means she can talk about the situation. The company arranges extra security for Rosie and she refuses to be intimidated by Michael’s attempt to interfere and control her life. There are other things going on at the estate agent where Rosie generally is enjoying successful with house sales. This suspenseful, strong psychological tale says a lot about the problems women face in modern society. How difficult it is in order to go about doing a normal job when someone is threatening you. There is a twist to this story as with a lot of really good there thrillers, while the story is gripping and urgent and you feel for the characters. You will take away a lasting memory that some crimes just don’t get the attention they deserve. Here they do. put right in front of the audience. Dark and still hugely entertaining.
