If there’s anything the circle has shown me is we all secretly enjoy reading about suspicious neighbours, buried secrets, and family drama that makes our own lives look wonderfully stable. The Couple at No. 9 gave us this, and I’d like to think it took a day or two to go through it, no?
Claire Douglas is one of those authors who has mastered the art of making readers distrust absolutely everyone. The Couple at No. 9 is a gripping domestic thriller that begins when a young couple renovating their new home discover two bodies buried in their garden. What follows is a web of secrets, lies, family history, and twists that will have you questioning every character's motives.
The novel delivers everything thriller lovers crave: mystery, tension, shocking revelations, unreliable characters, and enough suspense to keep you reading long past your bedtime while promising yourself, "Just one more chapter", it is never just one more chapter.
Whether you're a longtime thriller fan, trying Claire Douglas for the first time, or simply joining the discussion because you enjoy hearing people passionately accuse fictional characters of crimes they may or may not have committed, The Reading Circle invites you to our virtual discussion. For those who still ask, "What time is the review again?" See you this Saturday at 7:00pm. More information is on the event page
Join the court, choose your side, and debate Quicksilver's twists, magic, and romance.
