A wonderfully shiver-inducing wormhole of a read, the possibilities opened up before me while the story snapped at my heels.  Elle returns home after letting her house out to slight but notable differences, the house no longer feels welcoming, small shifts have occurred, has she inadvertently allowed danger in? The prologue is quietly unsettling and sets the tone beautifully. Lucy Clarke writes with an exquisite subtlety, each layer thin as a slice of paper painstakingly constructed into a looming brooding tower. Taunting ‘Previously’ chapters lie in wait, prepared to catch you unawares, and then there are the chapters from the past, allowing knowledge freedom to hint, prod, stir. The characters felt so very real, they slid into my mind, taking up residence, making mistakes, regretting, living their lives. The ending felt real, felt right, felt perfect. You Let Me In is a razor-sharp, smartly provocative tale, and I loved every single second of it - highly recommended.

Supremely chilling and brilliantly atmospheric, Lucy Clarke’s fifth psychological thriller is an absolute powerhouse read that utterly consumed me and takes a seemingly innocuous experience - an Airbnb rental - and overlays it with paranoia, suspicion and menace.

Supremely chilling and brilliantly atmospheric, Lucy Clarke’s fifth psychological thriller is an absolute powerhouse read that utterly consumed me and takes a seemingly innocuous experience - an Airbnb rental - and overlays it with paranoia, suspicion and menace. When author, Elle Fielding, returns home after two weeks in France to her spectacular clifftop home overlooking the sea in Cornwall the whole atmosphere feels off; objects moved slightly out of place, a broken ornament and her treasured writing room unlocked. As Elle’s unease mounts she starts to wonder just who she has let into her home and what parts of themselves they might have left behind...... Read Full Review

Full of mystery and suspense. Buckle up and enjoy the ride, just watch out for the wrong turns and dead ends. A very enjoyable read with plenty of plot twists.

Full of mystery and suspense. Buckle up and enjoy the ride, just watch out for the wrong turns and dead ends. A very enjoyable read with plenty of plot twists.

The novel starts with Elle’s return from a writing break. Her house has been rented out during her absence and she senses a different atmosphere.

There follows some spine tingling moments when she finds evidence of an intruder (other than the family who rented the house). There are flashbacks to the shadowy figure who has been in her house but although there are several candidates for the intruder, the novel really keeps you guessing.

Elle is a very likeable character and it was easy to identify with her, especially as she gradually reveals her vulnerabilities.... Read Full Review

She's a celebrated author trying to write a new novel and now she's being watched from inside her house. Or is she???

You Let Me In is a psychological thriller set in cold and stormy Cornwall. The plot follows Elle Fielding, a celebrated author of a bestselling thriller novel as she sets about trying to write her new novel. However, she has a chilling feeling of someone being inside her house. Is she being watched or is this all in her head? The novel also hints at a dark secret that Elle is hiding and this starts to unravel as the plot progresses.

This was an enjoyable novel. I read it at a time when I was home alone and it certainly contributed to a few difficult nights' sleep! The setting of Cornwall is perfect; Elle has a huge modern house with lots of glass walls on a hilltop which only adds to her paranoia of being watched.... Read Full Review
