Book Review

You Let Me In by Lucy Clarke

You Let Me In by Lucy Clarke

You Let Me In by Lucy Clarke

The main character Elle has successfully written her first novel and had it published. She lives on her own in a beautiful home set above a Cornish bay, but is persuaded by her sister, to rent it out on Airbnb whilst she goes abroad for the summer. When she returns she finds mysterious things start happening and Elle feels she is being watched constantly, and everything starts to go wrong for her. The deadline for her second book is getting closer, but she starts to wonder whom she can trust anymore. There are quite a few suspects, and I will admit it did keep me guessing until the very end. This is the first book I have read by this author, and it won't be the last! Tina
