Happy publication day to TM Logan for The Dream Home. This is Logan’s eight book and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down which is great news for readers! Thank you Zaffre for an early read of The Dream Home.
The Blurb
Adam and Jess move into a new house with their three young children: a rambling Victorian villa in a nice neighbourhood right at the very top of their price range. Before long Adam discovers a door hidden behind a fitted wardrobe, concealing a secret room . . .
Inside Adam discovers a collection of forgotten items: a wallet, an expensive watch and an old mobile phone. Jess thinks they should simply throw them away. But Adam resists. He is fascinated by these items and how they came to be inside the hidden room.
But like the house, Adam has his secrets too. And soon he will find himself setting in motion a series of events that will place his family in terrible danger . . .
My Review
I’ve had the pleasure of reading most of TM Logan’s books and The Mother is still my favourite. However, The Dream Home sent shivers down my spine. I think it’s the creepiest novel that Logan has written, not least because it seems like it could actually happen.
Unless you move into a brand new home, there’s often something the previous owners have left behind. We found newspapers in our loft dating back to the 1930s. Adam, though, finds another small room in his attic space – one that isn’t on the house plans. From that moment on, things spiral out of control as Adam seeks to solve the riddle of the hidden room and the secrets contained within.
It took me a while to settle into the book (I’m like that with most books at the moment) but once I was in, I was heavily invested. TM Logan has paced this book just right, with the reveals at the right time and casting doubt on everyone. I didn’t guess who was responsible (so frustrating!) but in some ways, I do love that. I think this is another book that could be heading for a TV adaption.
