Reviews of The Stranger Upstairs

You won't be able to resist — Elle on The Trap A very clever, mind-bending thriller — Woman & Home on The Trap Had me hooked from the start. Linda's story unravels so cleverly, and Raabe keeps you questioning what's fact and what's not right to the end, ratcheting up the tension at the same time . . . A genuinely gripping debut — Debbie Howells, author of The Bones of You, on The Trap
