Rose Winter has enough problems. With a marriage going down the tubes and a dreaded anniversary party on the horizon, the last thing she needs is the zombie apocalypse. She wanted to get drunk and sing karaoke, not murder her undead neighbors. It’s clear the party’s over, however, now Rose has more problems - a missing husband, an overbearing houseguest, and keeping her family alive.

A must read, especially if you read the previous NYC based series. it’s one of the most accurate portrayals of an apocalypse with zombies (eg finally someone acknowledges the smell!)

New York Times bestselling author Peter Swanson pens a spectacularly spine-chilling novella in which an American art student in London is invited to join a classmate for the holidays at Starvewood Hall, her family’s Cotswold manor house. But behind the holly and pine boughs, secrets are about to unravel, revealing this seemingly charming English village’s grim history.

Meh just okay. Not worth a credit
Reviewed: 12-06-23
I normally like Peter Swanson books but found this one fairly boring. The reveal/twist was different and surprisingly but not satisfactory and then the story just puttered.

My darling little boy Albie adores playing at our new neighbours’ house. And after the terrible year we’ve had, I feel so lucky that we can start over in this perfect place, with new friends who treat Albie like the son they never had. He can’t stop talking about the tree house they’re building him, and the cookies they bake together. But as time passes, something starts to feel wrong. Why don’t they ever open the front door more than a crack? They told me they had no children so who does the small pink tricycle I saw in their hall belong to?

Slow and dull with characters that don’t grab you. Very mediocre compared to other books by this author. A definite skip!

For eight strangers in a Los Angeles hostel, even the other side of the world isn’t far enough. The craving for a new identity and the desire to start again is something they have in common. But they discover that it doesn't matter where you are or who you are - if you can't lay the past to rest, fate and coincidence have a way of catching up with you.

My husband and I are fighting for our lives in hospital after a terrible car accident. But despite my pain, all I can think about is what our families will find behind our front door. The scarf that has been all over the news, belonging to a dead young woman with honey-coloured hair. I have to speak to the police before my husband can. I’m drifting in and out of consciousness, but when I hear my wife talking to the police, accusing me of the murder of an innocent woman, a cold fear grips me. I know I’ve got a temper.

Surprise reveal was a nice touch
Reviewed: 12-01-23
I listened to this on one sitting. If you like other books by this author, you’ll find this a reliable, compelling read. The title doesn’t evoke what the story is really about: a murder and multiple people in a family who are involved.

The promise of a luxury vacation at a secluded wilderness spa has brought together eight lucky guests. But nothing is what they were led to believe. As a fierce storm barrels down and all contact with the outside is cut off, the guests fear that it’s not a getaway. It’s a trap. Each one has a secret. Each one has something to hide. And now, as darkness closes in, they all have something to fear - including one another.

Narrator can’t say “again” and it’s grating
Reviewed: 11-06-23
The story is okay; took a while to get into but finished stronger than expected. The narrator says uh-GAIN for “again” and due to not great writing that word appears every few sentences. “Been” and “against” are also said weirdly; really felt like nails on a chalkboard!

Glad I got this with KU and didn’t buy it. Had to quit around chapter 17 because I couldn’t take any more graphic descriptions of genitals alive and on mutilated victims

Chapter after chapter discussing food and weight and size with nothing else happening. Book reads like an eating disorder.

When Marilyn Kleinman is caught making out with the rabbi’s son in front of the whole congregation, her parents ship her off to her great-aunt Ada for the summer. If anyone can save their daughter’s reputation, it’s Philadelphia’s strict premier matchmaker. Either that or Marilyn can kiss college goodbye. To Marilyn’s surprise, Ada’s not the humorless septuagenarian her mother described. Not with that platinum-blonde hair, Hermès scarf, and Cadillac convertible. She’s sharp, straight-talking, takes her job very seriously, and abides by her own rules…mostly.
