ONE HOUSE

EIGHT KILLERS

NO WITNESSES

Jeanette is the manager of a probation hostel that houses high risk offenders released on license.

At 3am one morning, she receives a call telling her a resident has been murdered.

Her whole team, along with the eight convicted murderers, are now all suspects in a crime no one saw committed…

Don’t miss the first nerve-shredding standalone thriller from Noelle Holten, author of the Maggie Jamieson series.

OMG! Wowsers! That is some book, and without a doubt in my mind is Noelle Holten's best book so far.  I was on the edge of my seat, completely and utterly gripped and think I must have suspected almost everyone at some point. 

I didn't have a concrete theory for any of my suspicions, but I also couldn't piece it together any faster than the information was revealed to the reader. 

This is one tightly written book from a few different point of views and gives an excellent insight into the probation service, and just how ex-prisoners out on licence are treated and just what everything means.  Also shows how various departments within the justice system can work together on occasion. 

We have chapters from Jeanette, the manager of probation hostel Ripley House,  busybody neighbour to the property Helen who has never wanted the hostel there and has protested against it, but also is now volunteering in the kitchen.  We also have chapters from Sloane's point of view, she is an investigative reporter, seems to be wanting Ripley House closed down too and is good friends with Helen.  Lastly we have chapters from the killer's POV, so cleverly written that they give nothing away (at least that I could pick up on). 

I found even when I wasn't glued to the pages, the book was preying on my mind, and I was wondering what the characters were currently getting up to, while also needing answers for myself. 

Utterly fabulous, and I heartily recommend it. 

Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
