ABOUT THIS BOOK Ailsa Tilson moves with her husband and children to Trinity Fields in search of the new. New project - a house to renovate. New people - no links to the past. New friends - especially her next-door neighbour, the lonely Verity, who needs her help. Verity has lived in Trinity Fields all her life. She's always resisted change. Her home and belongings are a shield, a defence to keep the outside world at bay. But something about the Tilsons piques her interest. Just as her ivy creeps through the shared garden fence, so Verity will work her way into the Tilson family. And once they realise how formidable she can be, it might well be too late. MY REVIEW Dark and disturbing, FINDERS, KEEPERS by Sabine Durrant is a slow-burning psychological thriller that will make you feel edgy, uncomfortable, and utterly enthralled. Verity has lived in Trinity Fields her entire life and when her new neighbours, the sleek and sophisticated Tilson family, move in, she doesn't expect to have many dealings with them. Verity likes to keep her life as it has always been. But unexpectedly, she finds herself entering a friendship of sorts with Ailsa Tilson and quickly enjoys her company and that of her kids, especially Ailsa's son, Max. Verity is not so fond of Tom, Ailsa's husband, who throws his weight around and expects everyone, including Verity, to do as he asks. Verity believes there is something off with their marriage and when something awful happens, secrets find a way of coming to the surface. But everyone has secrets, don't they? If you are looking for an action-packed thriller then this is not the book for you. FINDERS, KEEPERS is like a flower unfurling, where in each chapter another piece of the puzzle becomes clearer, until the end when we see it all laid out in horrifying clarity. This is very much a character-driven story with Verity as the narrator and this worked perfectly as I was never fully sure just how much I knew Verity throughout the book which created tension and a need to keep reading. FINDERS, KEEPERS by Sabine Durrant is a superb story and is sure to have you looking at your neighbours in an entirely new light. A must-read!!
