The Room in the Attic: The TOP 5 bestselling novel from Louise Douglas

I couldn't put the book down. I loved the concept of colliding timelines and how the truth finally came to light.Most definitely worth a read.

I loved this book which veers from the Victorian age to the 90’s and keeps you glued to the story with every page.The switch in eras doesn’t confuse or lose you and keeps up the atmospheric scene throughout.It makes an unrelatable and unbelievable story relatable and believeable.I loved every second of it

I have to say I was gripped by the book and the constant going backwards and forwards in time, as well as the ‘ghostly’ element.The ending was good, but I still feel it could have been better.All in all a good read!

Recommend this book so much. It has a great twist at the end. Left me hoping things could really happen that way!

I really got into this story, and loved the beginning. The story telling was lovely and the characters very likeable but as it got towards the end (no spoilers) I felt it became very far fetched and that ruined it a bit for me. Still a fascinating read though if you have an open mind.

Very good read, unusual but thought provoking. Interesting story and well thought out, enjoyed very much. Would recommend and interested in reading other books by the author.

Enjoyed it from beginning to end - thoroughly reccomend and hope to read more books from this author very soon.

Since lockdown I haven’t managed to finish a single book, no idea why, just can’t get into anything. Until this book! I couldn’t put it down.A ghost story between two different times, 90 years apart. A mystery of a woman and child found half alive in a boat. They’re taken to an asylum on Dartmoor and nursed back to health but no one knows who they are or where they came from or how they ended up close to death in the boat. Nurse Everdeen who cares for the child tries to solve the mystery.In the future, 1993, a 14 year old boy called Lewis is sent to a boarding school, the same building that was once the asylum, and has some strange and scary ghostly experiences. He and his room mate Isak try and find out more about the history of the building. The story evolves to link the two separate times together and this makes for a very interesting and engaging read.The book is well written and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It is slightly contrived but I didn’t mind that, all the lose ends were tied up at the end, which I like, can’t stand being left wondering what happened to someone or what might have happened etc.So yes I would definitely recommend this book!
