About this deal

Book Genre: Audiobook, Fiction, Mystery, Mystery Thriller, Psychological Thriller, Suspense, Thriller Ok first of all, I read “the Bedroom Widow”, so I had totally different expectations 😅 second of all, outlier opinion ahead! I did not like it. At all! K.L. Slater has given readers unlikeable, flawed, and questionable characters who do questionable things in this book. There are plenty of twists and revelations in this book, not to mention the secrets and lies. Slater kept me on my toes, and I did not see a single thing in this book coming. I was guessing until the end. We are then introduced to a small family of three who went through a lot in past years and now they are given the chance for a brand new life with a couple offering the father a job. He had a terrible accident and was unable to work for two years. The diagnosis was possible paralysis, and he fell into a dark depression. Lottie stayed home to look after him. Neil had a miraculous recovery. After those long months, and are now in debt. Their young son felt neglected, became sullen, withdrew from classmates, and was bullied at school.

Added to that, Lottie's nightmares about her childhood have returned leaving her spent and confused. She hasn't been completely honest about her childhood with Neil...but then he's not being completely honest about what's going on up at Seaspray House. Does one lie cross out another? Or are they about to pile up and bury the couple, ensnaring them within the tangled wed of secrets and lies that has been woven around them? Heart-pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat . I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.’ Netgalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A lot of things did not make sense, Like Tom and Mary hiring a PI but then Mary doing what she did out of the blue! we do not get the sense that she is metally unstable?! When they arrive, they see Seaspray house as a very modern building not really blending into the surround areas but has fantastic views over the sea. Their living quarters is a small cottage nearby and fom one of the upstairs rooms has the views of Seaspray House. THE BEDROOM WINDOW is a standalone psychological thriller by author Kim Slater. The story is about a family, Lottie and husband, Neil and their young son Albie, who move to a coastal area where Neil works as a caretaker for Ted and Neeta’s property. An utterly gripping psychological thriller from the number one bestselling author of The Marriage and The Girlfriend. If you like Gone Girl, The Housemaid and Lisa Jewell then you will be hooked by The Bedroom Window.

Steve Guttenberg is magnificent as the scared, confused, and conscientious Terry. Elizabeth McGovern and Isabelle Huppert are equally as good as the women who care about him, but are unsure how to figure him out, or what to do. McGovern shows her very good acting ability with non-verbals that demonstrate clearly that she knows something isn't right about Terry through her facial expressions and the looks in her eyes. The cast of this movie work together like a well-oiled machine, and the story may not have been as compelling had it not been for the convincing actors. He starts to get a bit disillusioned about his relationship with Sylvia which he realizes isn't that good to begin with. Not that she's a bad person but she's really not all that great, she is cheating on her husband after all which isn't ok. She does care about Terry but not nearly enough, she sort of helps but not by much. Absolutely brilliant! I sat and read the book in a day and did not want to put it down!… I even text my mum when I was halfway through telling her it was a book she NEEDED to read!!… Without a doubt 5 stars – I LOVED it!!!’ Donna’s Book Blog, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would like to thank #KLSlater, #Netgalley and #Bookouture for an ARC of #TheBedroomWindow in exchange for an honest review. One particular window in their cottage affords Lottie the opportunity to see into her neighbor’ home. In fact, she can’t stop observing. The couple that her husband is working for are said to be childless, but Lottie feels differently. She believes there’s a child in the home, and she cannot understand why they’ve never seen the child under any circumstances.

Here we have STEVE GUTTENBERG as the man in big trouble after witnessing a murder from his lover's bedroom window. He's having an affair with the boss' wife and nobly tells her that he'll give details of the assailant (which she saw) to keep their affair hidden from her husband. So far, so good. The story is stylishly photographed with the appropriate menacing mood and atmosphere. Then, the book shifts in time to tell us events that happened 20/18 years ago with little Charlie and Claire.
