"Please make a list of every possession you consider essential to your life." Would you go any further on a questionnaire for a rental house? One Folgate Street is a masterpiece of minimalism, with the lighting, heat, water temperature, and music automatically set to your comfort. For two women accepting the rules: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind, it will be a devastating decision. This is the best kind of psychological thriller - you'll be on the edge of your seat, unable to put it down. It's twisty, unsettling, and completely addicting!

Wonderful writing, well developed characters and great descriptive settings make this a book that you can settle into.
Lynda recommends:

During subsequent visits Tess, now accompanied by her brother, Max, spend enchanting days in a world where wishes come true, riding carousels and wandering the castle's maze. But William cautions her "beware the hawthorn trees..."
