This is one intense and dark novel, being locked away in a house with someone unknown outside stalking you. What could be more terrifying? Karen has to lock herself away from the world, she has no choice, until one night a mysterious package turns up on her doorstep. What has turned her world even more upside down?

I have loved Sinclair’s writing since I read The day I lost you I have been obsessed with the claustrophobic feeling you have when you read his books. He’s at your door is another enclosed story just to amplify the terror that the main character feels. Stuck inside must be the worse feeling ever, especially when you control is taken away from you. Sets my teeth on edge just thinking about it.

He’s at your door is set over a 24 hour period, which is why it is so intense, so much happens! You have no time to catch your breath at any point nor does the book want to let you. From trying to find an elusive wire to the phone signal being jammed and power and water being knocked out all right at the start you do not know how this is going to end.

The story grips you from the opening pages and does not relent even at the end! I have no relief, no satisfaction but that makes this ending even more perfect. Not everything can be a happy ending.

Another book by Sinclair and another book he has just has blown me away. I adore his writing, he knows how to get into a woman’s mind and he knows how to scare his characters. I can not wait to see what is next.
