About this listen
WATERSTONES THRILLER OF THE MONTH AUTHOR: 'Britain's Patricia Highsmith' (Sunday Times)
Discover the original psychological thriller as a sleep-deprived young mother struggles to stay sane.
'A lost masterpiece.' Peter Swanson
'Brilliant ... Such clever, witty writing.' Elly Griffiths
'Fremlin packs a punch.' Ian Rankin
'A slow-burning chill of a read by a master of suspense.' Janice Hallett
Louise would give anything - anything - for a good night's sleep. Forget the girls running errant in the garden and bothering the neighbours. Forget her husband who seems oblivious to it all. If the baby would just stop crying, everything would be fine.
Or would it? What if Louise's growing fears about the family's new lodger, who seems to share all of her husband's interests, are real? What could she do, and would anyone even believe her? Maybe, if she could get just get some rest, she'd be able to think straight . . .

How is it that Celia Fremlin has been so neglected?
I love Celia Fremlin’s books and this is another enjoyable listen beautifully narrated. I thoroughly recommend.

Stopped half way through
One of a very few books I have not completed. Chose mainly as Clare Corbett was the narrator. Unfortunately I only got to understand that someone with children takes in a lodger.Nothing else seems to happen.
