Don't Let Me In: a dark psychological thriller

Do you listen to any Podcasts?  It's definitely become a huge interest of mine and I go back and forth between podcasts and audiobooks on my drive to and from work.  The idea of this book feels a bit like Serial, which is a bit of a gateway podcast for many people.  The idea of doing investigative reporting on a case where the convicted, accused of killing his girlfriend, insists he is innocent.  Add in the fact that Sarah, our main character, doesn't leave her house.  There are breadcrumbs given as to why she doesn't but you don't find out the full details until nearly the end.  I also found the inclusion of cyber-bullying quite interesting, especially showing how you can deal with it.

So what didn't I like?  It did take a bit for me to get into it, even though it seemed like a perfect recipe it did feel as if it started a bit slow.  I liked the majority of the characters, minus the obvious ones, but it did frustrate me how Sarah let her agoraphobia get in the way of her relationship with her husband and her son.  Although that was a big frustrating, when you think about it, that's probably closer to how it would be in real life.

So really there wasn't much I didn't like.  The cat's name (Lil Bitch) made me giggle every time.  I really enjoyed the end, finding out multiple different twists that seemed to just keep coming.  So many different twists that I just didn't see coming and made the last part of the book that much more enjoyable.

Biggest thanks to Bloodhound Books and Netgalley for allowing me a copy to read and give my honest review.
