The House Sitter by Debbie Howells (Avon Books UK, Avon)

Put the word house in the title of the book and I'll grab it right away and read it! After reading The House Sitter, you'll not only wish you'd never heard of this term, but you'll also start to doubt your own house guests or even family members. ;)

The book takes place in two timelines, we follow a young woman who tries to find her place under the sun and her own identity by becoming a house sitter in various luxury holiday destinations in Europe, while at the same time no obstacle stops her on the way to her goal.

The book also follows the life of a therapist who, after the death of her husband, realizes that her husband had a double life. Soon, relations with his primary family also begin to get complicated.

We all choose the face we want to present to the world. Everyone is hiding something and it's only a matter of time before it all comes out.

An extremely suspenseful novel that you won't be able to put down. I enjoyed it immensely.
