About this deal

Married couple Kirstie and Adrian move to the Brecon Beacons in Wales with their children Amelia 11, Evie 6 and their grandmother Carol to run a newly renovated B&B. They moved from London hoping for a calmer pace of life after Adrian suffered depression and walked out of his stressful job. There are plenty of twists and turns along the way and Claire Douglas has an excellent eye and turn of phrase towards creating divisive and engaging characters. This is true here too and is one of the huge strengths of " Do Not Disturb " as motivations and inner truths are cleverly obfuscated. Really enjoyed this book and finished it in a day. I haven’t felt that way about a book for a long time. Thank you.” Abi has moved to Bath to try & make a fresh start in life after the devastating death of her identical twin sister Lucy. She meets the very colourful Beatrice (who reminds her so much of Lucy) & her twin brother Ben and this is where things start to get really interesting.

Humming with anxiety and friction, The Sisters keep readers guessing as to who is doing what to whom until the very end...[A] gripping psychological debut' SHELF AWARENESS As for the plot, mystery-wise it’s not the worst one I’d ever read in a debut but to call it a thriller would be an exaggeration. Let’s put it this way- It did not keep me on my toes but admittedly I just did not care enough to try and keep up.

See a Problem?

Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know! Absorbing and chilling...." reads the blurb, and "....thrilling finale". Oh good, I thought, a chilling, thrilling read..... When pregnant Saffron Cutler moves into 9 Skelton Place with boyfriend Tom and sets about renovations, the last thing she expects is builders uncovering a body. Two bodies, in fact. What I liked about Do Not Disturb is how the story slowly unravels the real threat in the story. The author is even able to make me think that this is a horror story starting with the old house turned into a B & B with all its sinister history, what with all those mysterious and creepy threats to the family, the noose, the dead flowers, the misplaced stuffs around the house and the angry stares of the neighbors.

It’s clear something happened when they lived in London but it’s not until later in the book that we find out what this was. The Sisters is a tense and very gripping psychological thriller, totally twisted in the best way possible – in this case rather than one protagonist you just can’t work out and who will drive you mad, you have two. Except sometimes discovering the truth can cost you everything you hold dear – your family, your sanity and even your life. As always Claire Douglas had me glued to this book, loved the red herrings along the way and even though I knew there was a big twist going to happen it still surprised and amazed me how easy she can turn a story around leaving me discombobulated!! The world could have ended and I would have still said ‘just let me finish my book in peace’ I do so love Claire Douglas’ books and I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to read this one early.Kristy and Selena have bad blood between them and she's the last person Kristy wants under her roof. Found this book to be an excellent read and I will definitely be recommending this book to my friends. I didn’t want to put it down. Every chapter revealed another hidden secret that had my mind racing with anticipation to the next chapter.” However, other than for that personal niggle this was an enjoyable read that kept my attention and I would recommend it to fans of psychological thrillers.

I love listening to thrillers at work. A truly great one that hooks me can make the working day much easier. DO NOT DISTURB started off great, I wanted to know more. What happened between Kirsty and Selene? What is happening in the house? Is it haunted or is just someone playing pranks? Or is there something sinister going on? Its certainly a roller coaster ! Just when you start to get to grips with the complex plot it all twists again. A brilliant read. I found Kirsty to be quite a likeable character, someone to sympathise with and root for, sharing her hopes for a better future for her and her family. All the characters were realistic and believable, even the slightly weird ones. But above all, there’s a tense atmosphere throughout the story, that feeling where you know something will happen but you’re not quite sure what it will be. It all leads to an incredibly jaw-dropping conclusion that left me reeling.Something Bad happened to Adrian when he and Kirsty and their two girls lived in London, so never having run a business before, they decide to buy an almost derelict property in Wales and, once refurbished, open it as a B&B. Why? Because Kirsty is Welsh and loves Wales. What better reason could there be. So this is Mistake Number One. Asking Kirsty's domineering and controlling mother for a loan is Mistake Number Two, thus allowing her to move in and be a not-so-silent partner. Mistake Number Three is letting Kirsty''s cousin Selena, a woman she hates and hasn't spoken to for seventeen years, to come and stay. Abi conosce Beatrice, una ragazza ricca che ospita in casa sua degli artisti e suo fratello gemello Ben. I had seen The Sisters around a lot and knew it was a book I wanted to get to though it took me a fair while. My reading mountain is alarmingly huge!! The old Victo
