Official Synopsis for The Visitors
Marion Zetland lives with her domineering older brother, John in a decaying Georgian townhouse on the edge of a northern seaside resort. A timid spinster in her fifties who still sleeps with teddy bears, Marion does her best to shut out the shocking secret that John keeps in the cellar.
Until, suddenly, John has a heart attack and Marion is forced to go down to the cellar herself and face the gruesome truth that her brother has kept hidden.
As questions are asked and secrets unravel, maybe John isn’t the only one with a dark side.
With the smart suspense of Emma Donoghue’s Room and the atmospheric claustrophobia of Grey Gardens, The Visitors explores the complex truths we are able to keep hidden from ourselves and the twisted realities that can lurk beneath even the most serene of surfaces.

Always Trust In Books 
The thing I love about mysteries and thrillers is the surprise. I love not knowing what’s going to happen next. I love trying to figure it out and then being completely shocked. Mysteries and thrillers are my favorite genre. I’m always trying to find new authors that keep me on the edge of my seat.

I love Crime thrillers and mysteries and what I really look for are unexpected twists that shock me but don’t just come out of nowhere so that you look back through what’s been written and say “now that was very very clever” Hope you enjoy this when you read it-seen some very intriguing reviews! 😊

I love being scared, it’s also why I am a horror movie fan.
I have always found books that are thrillers/scary more terrifying than movies! There’s is something about adding your own imagination into it all 😨😱😨😱😨

I love reading mystery/thriller because I’m interested in learning how devious people and their minds can be. It’s just so amazing how I can escape into a book and follow a protagonist who either investigates something criminal or is the perpetrator of the crime and ‘study’ their actions.

Especially when an author creates a complex psychopath or trickster like in The Only Child!

I love how a well written mystery/thriller can latch onto you, wriggle inside your head and stay with you long after you’ve read the book

I like the mystery and pace in crime and thrillers, I often don’t work out the plot entirely so the element of surprise plus the satisfaction of everything being solved by the conclusion makes for a good read.

What I love about thrillers/mysteries almost as much as the shock factor is the often stunning imagery and backdrops used, beautiful coastal hideaway/quiet rural countryside/eerie old manor house! Perfect creepy escapism!

Just popping in from the Twitter chat about book blogger love!
I’m not a huge mystery/thriller reader but what I do love about the genre is when you are kept guessing and cannot predict the outcome and/or when there’s a twist coming at you out of nowhere that really throws you!
Keep spreading the book blogger love and glad I could come and visit your blog!
