The Red Room Kindle Edition

I couldn't put this book down, and finished it in a day. If your are expecting "action packed" the first couple of chapters might seem boring, but they are short, and then it starts to really unfold. I was very surprised by the ending. As with the Bridget Hart series were I never guessed "who dunnit". That is usually not the case for me.. This writing couple are very good writers, in my opinion.

I'm sorry to say I did not like this book. I found it rather boring and long winded and in fact quite dull. I gave up before half way after struggling with a lack of action and not finding anything interesting in the story

I enjoyed this book by the end although it was difficult to stay engaged in the beginning. A good story with more than one twist does keep you asking what’s next.

One of the most gripping stories that I have ever read. It was a page flipper. Thanks For sharing this story with me.

Jane and Adam Harvey have received an invitation to a New Year’s Eve party at their neighbor’s, Diana and Michael Potts. Adam wants to decline the invitation saying Jane gets nervous in crowds. But Jane insists that they go. Adam works in London during the week and Jane is at home alone. They have lived here for seven years and they don’t know anyone. Jane feels she needs some friends.Just at midnight at the party, Jane has a flash back where all she sees is red blood. It’s the Red Room again and she passes out. Solicitous of Jane, Adam asks her if she remembers anything before she fainted. She just remembered the smell of blood, being covered in blood, and someone saying, “you can’t do that.” This evidently occurred in their home in Oxford in what was a room with red walls that they called the Red Room. When Adam found her in this state, and not knowing what happened, they moved to this home out in the country. Here, it is a small town and they live just on the outskirts.Everyone was so kind to Jane at the New Year’s Eve party so when some of the ladies asked her to join a book club, she accepts. They decide to read Jane Eyre. In the book, the “other” Jane is locked in a red room where she also passes out. This scares Jane. Being with the other ladies is good for her and they are nice to her.But when Jane accidentally opens some mail meant for Adam, she is shocked and begins to think that her husband is not the man she thought he was. Sneaking into his desk and on his computer turns up some shocking things and she is determined to get to the bottom of it.This is a quick read and I was surprised at the ending. But to read about this helpless, pitiful woman was simply frustrating. The story is interesting though so I’m sure readers will enjoy it.I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

In both tone and style, this novel grabbed me from the first page and didn't release me until the end. An apparently devoted married couple has moved to a secluded cottage in the country and kept to themselves for seven years, not associating or revealing anything about themselves to the villagers. The husband commutes each week to London to work and returns each weekend. The wife leads a solitary life only venturing out for food and household supplies. She has been instructed by her husband not to communicate with anyone more than necessary and obeys him, reporting her daily activities to him each evening when he phones precisely at nine. One day a letter comes for the wife, which serves as the catalyst that causes her long buried memories to surface and ultimately turns her life upside down. As the novel progresses, the reader learns that something ominous occurred in a red room that caused a turning point in the couples' lives. It's worth the read to learn the resolution of this mystery. I highly recommend this novel. It's a quick and engrossing read. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is that a few loose ends were not tied up at the end which my legal mind objects to.I received a free copy with a request for an honest review.Susan P.

This psychological thriller, with its well drawn and believable characters, will draw you into the intriguing plot. It is a real page turner and will keep you wondering and I never could have guessed the ending.

Really enjoyed this, I guessed the ending - three times - and never got it right. It twists back and forth with positive then negative emotions of the main character.

A good story well written, but the conclusion was not very believable.

Bit ridiculous _ ending was silly and a bit of a cop out. Ok but not amazing would not recommend

Not my taste
