I did not enjoy this book. Very quickly I grew frustrated with the plot and the character decisions. I could not get a grasp of any threat or tension and it felt like the developments used too many well-known clichés for me to believe in it at all.
Firstly, I struggled to be convinced that Molly and Beth are sisters. True, there is a quite a large age gap between the two, but the relationship is incredibly estranged. Although they have no other family, Stacey presents a rather bleak pairing: Molly comes across as resentful as having to be the adult of the two, despite being employed in a good job! On the other hand, Beth is the typical 15 year-old teenager who hates having been moved to this remote house on the cliff tops and wants to do everything in her power to make her sister’s life a misery. To be honest, the way the house is described as so neglected, I thought it was a metaphor of the relationship between Molly and Beth. I agree that this is a reflection of reality but, actually, I was hoping for a little bit more positivity, rather than watching them constantly sniping at each other.
Throughout the story, I was irritated by the poor, uninformed decisions that were made. It was obvious, even to the most narrow-minded of people, that what Molly and Beth were doing would lead to trouble. As such, I found their behaviour unconvincing and had no sympathy when they felt threatened. Furthermore, like I was not convinced by Molly and Beth, I do not believe in the supporting relationships either. They felt hollow, rushed into and as a way of ensuring a romance was added to the narrative.
In case you had not noticed, I found this book rather tedious! With such a shaky plot, I thought it would fall over the cliffs – a bit like some of the garden in the story. The plot development felt too obvious and had elements that I had seen in other novels; it did not feel original, but lack lustre and slow.

Sisters Molly and Beth Winters thought the remote clifftop house would be the perfect place to hide away after their mother's brutal murder. They were wrong. Because someone from the girl's past has already found the safe house and he's watching and waiting in the shadows, ready to make them pay.
Molly and Beth are staying in their deceased mothers home on the cliffs near Whitby. They're trying to escape her violent partner who's just been released from prison. They thought they'd be safe in the house, but they were wrong.
It took me a little while to get into the book and the second half was better than the first. There were parts that seemed to be a little uninspiring. It's a good mystery with hidden secrets. The plotline was good but it could have been better, it had more potential. Overall, this is a decent enough read, it just wasn't thrilling enough for me.

Molly and Beth are sisters. After their mother was savagely murdered, they've been hiding out in a remote house where they are sure no one can find them.
They are wrong.
Someone wants revenge ... and now he wants the sisters to pay. He has found them .. he's watching and waiting for his opportunity.
And he's not going to stop until the girls are dead.
Even though I thought this was a slow starter, it didn't take long for the pace to pick up to a high intensity that doesn't let up until the final conclusion. There are twists and turns that will will keep the readers' eyes glued to the pages. The plot is distinctive, the story line reveals deep, dark secrets. An excellent read!

I rarely, if ever give a book 1 star. Overall I liked the storyline, BUT the sub-par editing, lack of continuity even within chapters and the various plot holes left a very bad taste. As a former editor I know the hardwork that goes into every book & good editing can certainly make a world of a difference. Unfortunately this was not the case for this book. I can see how chaotic the writing was and this is not necessarily bad authoring but definitely very bad editing. Every line felt it was written by different people who never discussed beforehand what was happening in the scene but had a general idea of it. I would definitely recommend the author have a couple of beta readers or proofreaders. It's not fair that what could have been a good book is left with completely shattering reviews because of inferior editing. The various problems with this book is something your editors SHOULD have caught!
Leaving this aside, the story and sub plots were good. The characters were okay and most of them appeared so smarmy I found it difficult to like them. But if I had to pick one, Molly was a good protagonist. I wish there were explanations for the various plot holes involving Charlie, Molly's mum, Jackson, Michael & his wife.
Note: I received a copy of the book from NetGalley but it didn't download. I purchased a copy of the book from Kindle so I've read the fully edited version of this book.

I love psychological thrillers and especially those with a remote setting such as this. The sound of the wind whipping around the house's exterior. The scraping of the tree branch on the window. The banging of an open door. The whispers in the wind that sound as if it is calling your name. That sense of stifling claustrophobia that leaves you with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. NO PLACE LIKE HOME promised all this and more...and I kept waiting for the hammer to fall. Instead a tree did...with a crashing thump to the beach below. And that fixed the scraping of the branch on the window at night.
Molly and her younger sister Beth are moving into their new house inherited from their mother by way of her deceased partner. It stands on a remote cliffside overlooking an almost secluded beach where only surfers seem to be the only ones deluded enough to venture into the cold waters of the North Sea. There appears to be no one for miles, let alone anything remotely resembling civilisation, with only a potholed lane leading them to the house.
For Molly, she is trying to give both her and Beth a new start...away from the memories and any chance of Beth's incarcerated father Charlie finding them upon his release. The letter in her pocket informs her of such and she keeps it hidden from her sister. Beth, however, doesn't want to be there. She has done nothing but grumble the entire journey and that doesn't change when she sees the partially dilapidated house. She hears noises and sees shadows and doesn't want to spend a moment more there, wanting instead to return to York and to live with Molly's ex Dan. But Molly refuses to be swayed. This is their new start.
Almost as soon as they step through the door something seems to be aligned against them. They hear noises that don't belong, shadows in the garden and on top of that, the back door has been left wide open with the keys still in the lock! Molly assumes Carol, the niece of her mother's partner Michael, had been to clear up and left the door open. I mean, the carpet had been ripped up and the kitchen was spotless with a bucket of still warm water left there. She ventures into the back garden and almost gets the sense that someone is watching her before dismissing it as ridiculous. Upon stepping into the shed, she is shocked when the door is slammed shut, locking her inside. Believing Beth is trying to scare her into changing her mind about staying here, she shouts her sister's name trying to get her attention. Instead, she gets the neighbour's.
Thus enters Niall McCormack and his German Shepherd pup Dillon. If anyone gave me the creeps, it was him. I don't know what it was but he just always seemed to be there watching and waiting...seemingly with an ulterior motive. I didn't trust him. Beth took an instant dislike to him. Maybe because she saw the chemistry between him and her sister and she wanted Molly to get back together with Dan. She spent rather a lot of time escaping the creepy house and in the company of new-found surfer friend Jackson.
All the while, as Molly and Beth settle into their new home someone is indeed watching them. He had only just made it out of the house in time the day they moved in, not even having time to remove the bucket or to close the door. Molly put that down to Carol while the locking of her in the shed and the disappearance of belongings she assumed was Beth trying to scare her out of their new home so they could return to civilisation and, more importantly, to Dan. But this someone is watching and waiting from the shadows, ready to make them pay for the secrets of the past. He wants revenge and he will stop at nothing to get it...not until they are dead.
Their new home should have been the one place the sisters were safe. For their is no place like home. But no place is safe forever...
After it's promising premise, NO PLACE LIKE HOME should have been an exciting atmospheric thriller with that sense of claustrophobia. But I found it lagged and was relatively slow paced. The plot was fairly predictable, although that doesn't put me off, but the twists just weren't there nor was the excitement and euphoria of tearing through the pages at the speed of light. While the pace was steady it was also slow and failed to pick up and I found myself just wanting to get to the end. Its saving grace was that it was a fairly quick read.
I really didn't like any of the characters, although I did quite enjoy Beth's spikiness which added a little zest to things. But Molly made some stupid decisions for someone who is supposed to be the adult here. The fact she is a dentist with talk of amalgams, fillings, extractions and stitches had me almost hyperventilating with anxiety...for that in itself is a horror story.
By the end, there was no real clear answer as to who, what or why was stalking the girls and some things just didn't add up. I didn't hate the book ; I just found it didn't live up to its premise. The plotline was good but it could have been better as it had more potential.
Overall, NO PLACE LIKE HOME is a decent enough read, it just wasn't thrilling enough for me.

It's only May and I can already say THIS will be the worst book I read this year. The plot is crap, lots of things are unanswered, it's also poorly written - there are times when a character is standing, the love interest will sit down move closer and hug her, I had to go back and reread it, no she never say down, the author just forgot where they positioned the characters. Another occasion a love interest pulls a character into a hug, says a sentence, then apparently reaches out a hand and embraces them (depsite them already being in a hug, which you took place like 10 words ago?) Similar issues happen with physical locations in the book - towards the end a room is suddenly upstairs...this is a room in a bungalow, no mention of climbing stairs to get to this room...in a BUNGALOW, it was 'along a corridor' as it had been before, but now suddenly upstairs?
As for the plot??
The 15 yr old is written very unconvincingly, the sisters are written in this cringey awkward chaste way, it felt like someone very unfamiliar with the characters demographic.
I was honestly very surprised to read this book had an editor....as I am a bit unclear what their role was here, possibly asleep at the wheel. This wasn't a 'not for me', or 'I found it unbeliveable' (I know who you are / In a dark dark wood) there was large gaps, things remained unexplained or didn't make sense.
Honestly, the only positives I can say is at least it was under 300 pgs, I got it in the 3 for £5 offer at The Works, so didn't pay much for it and having read what will undoubtably be the worst read of the year for me now, the rest of the books I read this year will be far better.

I did enjoy reading this book, I loved the plot and how it all unfolded. However not everything was explained and there were a few holes in the storyline.
February 28, 2022
A fast paced tense read that keeps you on your toes. Great intensity and climax does not disappoint.
June 17, 2021
Underwhelming and quite disappointing.
The book didn't start in a strong or captivating manner, which would lead a lot of people to skip through the first few chapters..
The problem? It doesn't get better, like, at all.
The storyline was so weak and flat throughout the book, also, the narrative of the "villain" character wasn't reliable, actually the author didn't give a clear answer of who was the villain, there were some paragraphs that just didn't add up.
The characters were so infuriating, they were literally taking all the wrong decisions they could take.
The ending was at the same level of the book, so i was kind of ready for a lukewarm finale.

I’m not sure if I am in the minority on this one but it just felt slightly lagged and slow paced. The twists were slightly easy to figure out and I just didn’t get the excited euphoria of tearing through the pages to get to the end. I just wanted to get to the end to pass the finish line. It just wasn’t for me unfortunately.
Molly and Beth have moved into a new house inherited by their deceased mother’s boyfriend. Secrets are hidden and we get insight of someone creeping onto the property spying on them and wanting something that is inside. The characterization is built well with the sisters but everything else felt a bit lackluster.

A highly enjoyable, well constructed psychological thriller. The setting is amazing, a creepy house on a cliff edge, set on the stunning Yorkshire coastline.
Sisters, Molly and Beth, trying to find a place of safety following the brutal murder of their mother. They think that they’ve found the ideal spot but someone is watching. The tension builds cleverly, it’s a real edge of your seat read.
I particularly loved the relationship between Molly and her much younger sister Beth . A great read,
I highly recommend this book.

I’d forgotten to be bring my book, so I raided the bookshelf at work and came across this book. It had me pretty gripped from the beginning. I liked the dynamic between the characters although I do think the relationships moved a bit quickly to be believable. The Author kept us guessing and although it wasn’t particularly thrilling or exciting but it had reasonable pace all the way through.

I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story to it. I liked the variety of characters in it. It was a well written book.
December 26, 2021
A good read where two sisters moved to a new home after the death of their mother. The writing was slow and subplots sharper. Overall, it was okay, though had to skim read sections.
January 17, 2024
This book was kinda slow to me but I pushed through and finished. I definitely liked how it ended.
July 16, 2022
Ok wow, it’s a big responsibility to leave the first review but I’m going to do my best, so no else has the misfortune of reading this utter train wreck.
First let me say this is the worst book I’ve read all year, and it ranks in the top 5 worst books I’ve read in my life (and I read a lot).
The constant discrepancies on place and character position (and traits) was too much. Rooms and buildings move without any thought to where they were previously.
Also nothing ever gets cleared up.
Except for to cause more confusion, ie a murder we attributed to good old Charlie the girls mother actually committed.
So mummy dear was a killer, good guy simp Dan is a killer, Charlie’s a killer, and Niall kills Charlie? Not confusing at all.
But why did poor Carol have to die? And why’d they have to find her body? It didn’t actually effect the story at all.
And then the characters.
I don’t think there was a single person in this book I liked.
The main protagonist, Molly is a dentist but more so she’s an idiot. She moves them to a house seemingly in the middle of the night? But I think it works out it was actually in a rain storm, and then wanders around brainlessly when the powers out until her 15 year old sister finds the fuse box. She’s obsessed with the fact she thought she saw her ex buy drugs but rather then confront him about or flat kick him to the curb she keeps letting him bumble in and out of her house around Beth. Somewhere in there she falls in love with a dude she just met.
Her little sister Beth is a spoiled, whiney little brat. Loves Dan like a brother but never thinks maybe there was a reason her sister left him and keeps inviting him over. Refuses to believe that Charlie is a bad person even though he beat her mother. Is always running away and crying and screeching and being in general too terrible for words. I think she was my least favorite character which was a real contest in a book of shit characters.
Her ex boyfriend Dan killed their mother and then has the nerve to rattle on about how at least he wasn’t buying drugs (wow Dan, gold star you prick). At least he dies in the end.
Molly’s new love interest Niall is about as flat and dry as a character can be, but he saves Molly and Beth so white knight is clearly his role.
Beth’s love interest 16 year old Jackson helps Charlie lure Beth to him because he owes Charlie a favor. But Charlie’s been in prison for 10 years? So Jackson needed his ass saved when he was 6? Them 6 year olds that hang out on the beach must be hard people.
The grandparents covered up the fact that the girl’s mother killed her lover’s wife(with her lovers help?) and helped pin it on the abusive ex husband.
Charlie, the ex husband and recently released from prison, we start out thinking he’s Beth’s dad. Turns out he’s just an abusive piece of shit whose wife cuckolded and pinned a murder on him. But from prison he hires a security guard or (whatever Dan is) to kill his ex wife and her new husband. Then from the beginning of the entire book he’s trying to find something in his house? I never could figure out what he was trying to find because like most of the plot that went out the window at the end. Finally he gets his hands on Beth only to decide she isn’t his so he’s just gonna kill her, after he just got out of prison. Cool whatever, book was awful.
I rarely say this but I wish they would have killed off more characters. A mass extinction would have redeemed this book to a solid 2 stars instead of the zero it got(well technically one since had to give it something to review it).
Anyway if you couldn’t figure it out yet I really don’t recommend this book. Find something better to do with your time like pouring glass shards in your cereal and eating it or doing an at home lobotomy(which you’ll think you’ve done anyway if you finish this disaster).
Lastly I can’t believe someone edited this book, they should be truly ashamed of themselves.

I rarely say this but I wish they would have killed off more characters. A mass extinction would have redeemed this book to a solid 2 stars instead of the zero it got(well technically one since had to give it something to review it).
Anyway if you couldn’t figure it out yet I really don’t recommend this book. Find something better to do with your time like pouring glass shards in your cereal and eating it or doing an at home lobotomy(which you’ll think you’ve done anyway if you finish this disaster).
Lastly I can’t believe someone edited this book, they should be truly ashamed of themselves.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

page turner
Loved the characters, so glad everything worked out for them. Glad all the family was going to be together in the end.

This was the first book I’ve read by Lynda Stacey, and it was an intriguing and mysterious thriller. It started off quite slowly paced, gradually building up into a suspenseful and gripping second half, with a great twist at the end.
Lynda’s descriptive and evocative writing style really helps you get a feel for the location, and the characters are very well written. The subject of grief was delicately and sensitively approached. It was an easy read and the plot flowed really well.
I quite enjoyed this book and would happily recommend.

Deliciously dark and dangerous ... dare you to put it down until the truly, superb ending!
I love all of Lynda Stacey's books and couldn't wait to get stuck into her latest. Talk about gripped! Set on the glorious Yorkshire coast, I was immediately immersed in this beautiful, yet eerie location and as sisters Molly and Beth's story played out I became more and more intrigued. As other characters emerged, the tension started to build, and with the dramatic back story adding fuel to present day events, I grew more and more anxious - there was no one I could trust, except perhaps Dillon, their handsome neighbour's delightful dog. I found the relationship between Molly and her much younger sister Beth, particularly touching, as they fought for the right to build a good life together, but as sinister past deeds and revengeful plots begin to take hold, their dream of a new start in a new home becomes a total nightmare!

This book was a good read! Something to keep your interest and leave you guessing unless you are me lol. I knew who it was the whole time and none of the twists surprised me but honestly it didn’t even ruin the book. It was still a really good read and I enjoyed it a lot

I really enjoyed this book! Some of the chapters got me abit confused at 1st especially when it flicked between different characters. I did guess the who dun it the twist as such but I still enjoyed the story
December 12, 2022
I started the book but it was very slow and boring and I read the reviews so I completely gave up

Meh. Just ok. Lots of holes in the story and very unrealistic.

A remote clifftop house – and one that belonged to the sisters’ murdered mother (and where the original owner met something of a sticky end too) – is a great choice of setting for an edge-of-the-seat thriller. I really liked the location too – high above the expanse of sandy beach at Hunmanby (and “high”, of course, tends to mean “sheer drop” too, in this case just at the bottom of the garden), the lights of Filey twinkling reassuringly from across the bay at night.
When sisters Molly and teenage Beth arrive, the house – at the end of a rutted lane that the removers baulk at negotiating – is considerably less than welcoming. They should have been greeted, but the house is deserted – the back door wide open, an abandoned bucket of hot water in the kitchen, the carpet in the hallway haphazardly and inexplicably torn out. When they’ve restored the electricity, and settle down for the night on a mattress in the lounge, Molly becomes convinced someone else is in the house – and there are signs the next day that she could well have been right. Living here really isn’t going to be the seaside idyll Molly tries to sell to an increasingly uneasy and disgruntled Beth – but things really are only going to get considerably worse.
Something I always rather enjoy in a book like this is the sharing of the thoughts and musings of an unknown observer – and here those thoughts are really sinister, focused on murder and revenge. With everything getting distinctly more unsettling by the moment, we then begin to try to identify some of the possible suspects. Beth’s father has been in prison for some time, and although she has good memories of him Molly remembers more clearly his propensity for cruelty and violence. Then there’s their nearest neighbour – seems like a nice guy (with a very friendly dog…), rather attractive too, but he does keep some rather unsavoury company. And Molly’s former partner Dan – something went wrong there (we’re not told what until some time later) and he does seem unusually persistent in his attempts to “help”, with some possibility too that he might know more than he should about their mother’s murder. To be honest, I had absolutely everyone we came across in the frame before the slow reveal and the book’s particularly explosive climax – I was looking askance at the girls’ grandfather for a while, and wondered from the start about the teenage surfer that Beth befriends.
I’m going to be absolutely honest though – this really wasn’t the book for me. There’s a certain amount of romance within its pages, and that’s something I always look for – some nice family drama too, particularly in the sometimes difficult relationship between the two sisters. But, with apologies, the darkness and edginess that built was rather more than I enjoy. We all look for different things in our reading – although it was clearly marketed as a thriller, my personal preference is for the romantic suspense I was more used to seeing from the author, but I have no doubt that there will be many readers who might like this change in direction rather more. So I’ll be looking forward to seeing the other reviews… there were a few elements I really did enjoy, but this book really wasn’t quite the right choice for this romance reader.

I love supporting authors local to me, and Lynda Stacey is one of my favourites, so I just had to grab a copy of her new book. It is set on a stretch of the North Yorkshire coast that I am very familiar with, which is always a point of interest in a book. Add to this a cracker of a plot, and you have a winning psychological thriller.
The main protagonists are a pair of sisters, Molly and Beth, who have been through a very traumatic experience. Molly has taken them away to a deserted clifftop house where she hopes they will be safe from whoever it was who killed their mother. Beth is less keen on being cut off from the rest of the world, as you would as a teenager, and she isn’t afraid of letting Molly know exactly what she thinks. I thought the relationship between the two sisters was very honest and well drawn. I am sure there are many parents of teenage girls out there who are familiar with the door slamming and histrionics!
There are several different people in the girls lives upon whom suspicion is cast regarding the murder of their mother. Is this the same person who is watching them? What are their motives? What is their plan? There are plenty of red herrings in the plot to throw you off scent and I guarantee that your gaze will flit from one suspect to another over the course of the book, but I doubt you will guess what is really behind the whole thing. I certainly didn’t see the ending coming and was shocked by what unfolded in the final chapters.
I did really feel sorry for poor Molly, alone and trying to make ends meet whilst looking after an ungrateful sister, working through some complicated emotions and worrying about the strange things going on in the house. However, despite this, she does make some odd and unwise decisions. I’m not sure I’d be dragging myself to a remote house whilst there is a murderer on the loose!
I really enjoyed this book by Lynda Stacey. It took me no time at all to whizz through it, as I was thoroughly entertained by the plot and the characters. The only slight niggle I had was the amount of chin cupping that went on in the book, which I am not sure actually happens that regularly in real life. If this is the only fault you can find to point out in a book when you are looking for something to balance a review, it’s probably safe to say that it is a great read! I highly recommend adding it to you TBR this summer.

I have read a couple of Lynda’s books now and I really enjoyed them. I read the synopsis for ‘No Place Like Home’ and it certainly sounded like the sort of psychological thriller sort of book that I particularly enjoy. I couldn’t wait to start reading and so without further ado, I grabbed a cup of tea, grabbed my Kindle and settled down for an interesting afternoon of reading. I wasn’t to be disappointed. I did enjoy reading ‘No Place Like Home’ but more about that in a bit.
I fell under this book’s spell from the moment I read the synopsis. This spell lasted until the moment I read the very last word on the very last page. I found that I just couldn’t put this book down. My Kindle wasn’t exactly glued to my hand but it might as well have been because it travelled everywhere with me. I couldn’t bear to miss a single second of the story. I had my own theories as to what was going to happen and I had to see if I was on the right track or if I had wandered down another path entirely. I would become so wrapped up in the story that I would lose all track of time and just how quickly I was getting through the book. It didn’t take me long at all to get through the book. I found ‘No Place Like Home’ to be a gripping read, which certainly kept me guessing and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.
‘No Place Like Home’ is extremely well written. Lynda certainly knows how to catch your attention and draw you into one hell of a story. Lynda reels you in much like a fisherman reels in a catch. I love the very vivid and realistic way in which she tells the story. As a reader, I felt as though I was at the heart of the action and I felt as though I was another character in the book. I was so convinced by her writing that I felt as though I was going through every single emotion that the characters went through. Reading ‘No Place Like Home’ felt very much like being on one hell of a scary and unpredictable rollercoaster rides with many twists and turns along the way. At times, this was a creepy read and I loved every single minute of it.
In short, I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘No Place Like Home’ and I would recommend it to other readers. I will certainly be reading more of Lynda’s work in the future. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.

No Place Like Home instantly had me intrigued the minute I read the blurb and then the atmospheric cover completely hooked me in!
Sisters Molly and Beth have experienced the horror of their mother being murdered and in an attempt to disappear, they move to a house set high on the cliff top. The perfect hiding place.......or so they thought. Secrets surface and lives are put at risk. Who can the sisters trust and who is out to do them harm? Is anyone in their lives actually genuine or can they only rely on one another?
I adored this book. Lynda Stacey has created a real sense of place in this house and its wild location. I could feel myself transported there instantly. The slow and intense build up in finding out more and more about each of the characters really set the tone and the tension and I could not put it down...............apologies to my husband for burning his dinner!!! The suspense had my heart racing. I love psychological thrillers and this book certainly did not disappoint. The house being perched on the cliff was enough alone to set my nerves jingling!
I did feel sorry for poor Molly who now had the huge responsibility of her sister Beth, who was not always easy to get along with but grief is a hard thing to process and the book captures just how grief affects different people and can at times be all consuming. How does Molly even have time to think about herself when she now has to take on both the sister and mother role and Beth is really kicking against this. But, she's a teenager and sometimes fails to see the bigger picture.
There are lots of twists and turns and some terrifying moments within the plot and I kept changing my mind about who our mystery narrator was. They absolutely freaked me out! The sneaking about, the stalking, the desire to kill! Great job Lynda Stacey in keeping this blogger gripped! Highly recommended read.

I very much liked the premise of this book set on a remote headland with the sound of the sea and the wind whistling by and I usually enjoy psychological thrillers so I was happy to have this book to read.
Molly and her sister Beth move to a new house, once belonging to their mother and her partner. The house is in poor condition, as is the lane to get to it - potholed and waterlogged. Beth is not best pleased by the isolated location and makes life difficult for Molly, refusing to got to school and threatening to run away. Molly on the other hand is happy to have moved out of the house she was sharing with her boyfriend Dan, whom she suspected of dealing drugs, and she knows that Charlie, Beth's father, is about to be released from jail and she'd prefer to be somewhere he doesn't suspect they will be.
Almost as soon as they get into the house things begin to go wrong for the sisters... pictures are moved, doors mysteriously left open, a carpet removed...
All this should have been good and mysterious but I did not warm to any of the characters, including the two main roles of Beth, who was spoilt and self-centred, or Molly, who appeared detatched from reality and single mindedly refused to make sensible decisions. Charlie, was a rather cliched baddie and I saw no reason for Dan to have done the things he did - this was not sufficiently explained. The grandparents were bit parts and I felt they could have be filled out more and given a bigger role.
All in all I found this a disappointing read despite its interesting premise.
With thanks to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for an advanced copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.

I received a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoy thrillers but find myself being quite selective as to the authors that I read. Lynda Stacey is on the list and No Place Like Home reaffirms that decision. In this latest book, the tension builds slowly at first and then whips the reader onto a terrifying journey to its conclusion.
The relationship between sisters Molly and Beth is totally believable as the stressed-out dentist battles with the teenage angst and rebellion of her 15-year-old sibling. There is clearly love there, but it is in conflict with the power struggle brought on by overwhelming bereavement and Beth’s need to cling onto the familiar.
It is clear from the earliest chapters that the sisters are being watched and their observer left me feeling nervous as it was unclear whether their protestations of innocence were honest. The story had me questioning each character, not knowing who could be trusted. As I mentioned, the suspense builds to a frantic peak which left me enthralled and needing to see what the conclusion would be.
The whole book is cleverly constructed with the house and neighbouring cliffs creating an atmospheric character of their own. It was hard not to feel nervous for the sisters as the tension mounted and it was revealed who could and couldn’t be trusted.
Lynda Stacey has smashed it out of the proverbial park, once again.

Crime/Thriller novels always have this mysterious and “stay at the edge of the seat” feeling, and this book had that. It also had that element of safety and not safety that always gets my heart pumping.
In this story we follow sisters Molly and Beth Winters as they go forward in life after their mother’s murder. Yet, not even in their home do they feel safe. Because someone is watching.
I won’t talk a lot about the particulars of the story and plot because I want you guys to experience the journey of thrilling and adrenaline driven unsafe moments. As well as I want you guys to learn the secrets and mysteries. For me it was exciting and the kind of story that provoked images in my head. Which I quite liked.
Overall, I enjoyed it. Just the perfect book to read at night. Okay, I’m kidding. Maybe don’t read at night. If you do, you will probably read the entire book before going to bed. It’s what happened to me. And I loved that. I love when a book grabs my attention, this one definitely did since the beginning.
