There's a house where the forest begins. There's a killer at the door and a family on the edge.
Daniel's secret is tearing his marriage apart, and his wife Kate knows something's wrong. Moving with their sons to the old family home in a secluded Oregon town was supposed to be a fresh start, but the past comes knocking when Daniel's long-lost brother shows up.
He's charming, thoughtful, and seems like the perfect house guest. But beneath his calm exterior lies a chilling quirk - he doesn't feel pain. And what the family doesn't he's already killed three people this week.
As night falls, their home becomes a prison. Trapped by a man they thought they knew, the family is forced into his twisted plan. Will Daniel and Kate stand their ground, or succumb to the deadly game?
Atmospheric and intense, Devil Comes Home is a new gripping thriller from the mind of Blaze Dzikowski, the screenwriter of Netflix's Ultraviolet and HBO Max's The Gap.
A man who everyone wanted to forget shows up... And he has dues to pay.
Quick read - more like a novella rather than a full novel. Not the most original story line - family moves back to old house where husband grew up and his brother comes to visit. The brother is estranged from the family as he accidently killed a man years ago in a fight. So the tension starts there and he winds up holding the family hostage. Book was well written and had lots of tension. It was a quick, easy, read on the beach. My first read of Blaze Dzikowski - will definitely look for more to read by him and would recommend this one.
Daniel and his family have gone back to his childhood home. Shortly after moving back, his brother comes to visit. The police are looking for a killer. Things go downhill quickly. Sometimes home isn't the safest place to be. Unexpected ending full of characters you root for.
A tense psychological thriller that expertly explores family conflict and unresolved grudges. An estranged brother returns home, seeking closure and resolution for the deep grudge that has festered.
