I’ve been fortunate to meet T M Logan a few times now, at various book events. Not only is he a really nice guy, he writes the most twisty-turny psychological thrillers. I recently attended the book launch for his latest novel, The Dream Home. And I have to say I think it’s his best one yet. Here’s the blurb:

IT WAS EVERYTHING THEY WANTED. AND MORE THAN THEY BARGAINED FOR . . .
THE UNMISSABLE NEW THRILLER FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE MOTHER, THE CATCH AND THE HOLIDAY

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 . . .

Once I started, I couldn’t stop. I literally didn’t want to put the book down. The short chapters and cliffhanger chapter endings ensured I was compelled on. I’ll just read one more chapter…

Like the main character, Adam, I wasn’t sure who to trust in the book. And just when I thought I knew, and who had done what, I had the rug pulled from under my feet with a massive jerk and the story would go down another path.

I often read before I go to bed, but I wasn’t sure this was such a good idea as The Dream Home is full of noises in the night and suddenly I could hear creaks and whispers coming from every nook and cranny. But that shows the author has done his job well and created an eerie atmosphere, with a strong sense of menace throughout.

If you’re looking for a gripping read, with plenty of intrigue, then read The Dream Home. I thoroughly recommend it.
