this book was extremely predictable, slow paced and nothing quite intriguing was happening. the only plot twist in this book was about a person who really was responsible for a murder, that's it lmao
I do so love Claire Douglas’ books and I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to read this one early.Kirsty and her family need a fresh start. They leave London and move to Wales to open a B&B, together with Kirsty’s mother. The house they’ve chosen needs a lot of work and there are a few things the family haven’t quite thought through. Despite that, they have a fair few bookings come opening weekend and it looks as if their B&B adventure is off to a good start.But then Kirsty’s cousin,...
Having read Claire Douglas previous books “The Sisters” and “Last seen alive” I am very honoured and excited to get a copy of “ Do not disturb” from Netgalley in exchange for a review.Married couple Kirstie and Adrian move to the Brecon Beacons in Wales with their children Amelia 11, Evie 6 and their grandmother Carol to run a newly renovated B&B. They moved from London hoping for a calmer pace of life after Adrian suffered depression and walked out of his stressful job.The business is ready to
Not too sure about this one. I finished it a couple of days ago and waited for it to ‘settle’ in my mind. Did I enjoy it? Yes, but… Kirsty, her husband and two daughters have bought a house in Wales with the intention of running a B&B: this is part financed and part run with Kirsty’s mother. Hmm! After much restoration, lots of work, money and anxiety it is now time to open. Along with a few guests, members of Kirsty’s family descend on her (are they paying guests – just one more worry). Things
I've loved this author's previous books and I did thoroughly enjoy "Do Not Disturb " in that page turning, how will it end way that shows you have an absorbing book on your hands.However in all honestly it wasn't my favourite of hers which I'll come onto- but there is a lot to love here also. Attempting to escape a trying time for their family, Kirsty, Adrian and their daughters move to Wales to run a guesthouse, alongside Kirsty's mother. Their first guest however, much to Kirsty's dismay, is c...
This was my first Claire Douglas novel, this gripping page turner instantly had me hooked straight after the prologue. I loved it so much that I now want to read her previous titles.The story opens with the main protagonist Kirsty awoken by screaming at 5:37 a.m., she discovers her mother crouching over a body covered in blood!I love the structure of the book as it’s broken up into two parts. The first half tells of the events leading up to that morning as we are introduced to main characters.Ki...
I really enjoyed this book. It kept me guessing right until the end.Kristy and Adrian decide to pack up and move back to Wales from London after Adrian has a breakdown. Along with Kirstys Mum they buy a big house with the aim to set up guesthouse. It seems the guesthouse hides some dark secrets, as does the owners and the guests. Some secrets are more worse and darker than others.
'Do Not Disturb' is Claire Douglas's fourth novel and after completely devouring 'Last Seen Alive' (LSA) in 2017 and it featuring in my Top Twenty Favourites in an end-of-year list, I was eager to read this to see exactly how it compared to her previous books. Although it didn't disappoint it wasn't as incredible as LSA. Don't get me wrong, this is superior to most titles in this genre, it's just we readers tend to have super-high expectations when we know an author is capable of producing a spe...
I love listening to thrillers at work. A truly great one that hooks me can make the working day much easier. DO NOT DISTURB started off great, I wanted to know more. What happened between Kirsty and Selene? What is happening in the house? Is it haunted or is just someone playing pranks? Or is there something sinister going on? I will say that the first part of the book is the best when so much is unknown. Gradually did I feel that that the story was easy to predict. Still, I found it enjoyable m...
Kirsty, husband Adrian, their young daughters and Kirsty’s mother move to the Brecon Beacons to fulfil the dream of opening a guest house. The place needs a lot of work - and not all the locals are friendly - but they’re finally ready to open the doors and welcome the first guests. Of course, all goes far from according to plan.... the first guest arriving with an unexpected dog in tow and immediately announcing that the house has a “bad energy” is only the start. Kirsty’s long-estranged cousin
Every chance I had over the past few days, I picked up this book. It was a fun ride and I couldn't wait to see what happened next.It was a bit repetitive, which made it drag a little, and I figured out a few of the big twists early on, but I still really enjoyed it!
"Absorbing and chilling...." reads the blurb, and "....thrilling finale". Oh good, I thought, a chilling, thrilling read.....Something Bad happened to Adrian when he and Kirsty and their two girls lived in London, so never having run a business before, they decide to buy an almost derelict property in Wales and, once refurbished, open it as a B&B. Why? Because Kirsty is Welsh and loves Wales. What better reason could there be. So this is Mistake Number One. Asking Kirsty's domineering and contro...
