4.25 / 5 ⭐️

Thanks to netgalley and the publishers for the ARC of this book!

A gripping story from start to finish. It starts off with a gripping prologue, making you unable to put the book down from the second you open it.

A well written villain and likeable main character (that being Lauren, of course). As for Jacob, I knew he was a bad guy, but oh my, one particular part definitely shocked me.

The one thing I have to say is the vast amount of different characters’ point of views was a bit of a rollercoaster, although in order to tell the story Robin Mahle wanted to tell I suppose it was necessary.

Robin certainly does a good job at holding the reader’s attention, I know I couldn’t stop reading! A good read for any thriller fan.

I know one things for certain after reading this rollercoaster of a book- I’m not going to be able to write off the noises in my attic quite as easily anymore…

Thanks Netgalley for the free arc! In my honest opinion this book was very intriguing and I loved reading from all the character’s points of view… it made a very intriguing and suspenseful thriller. I would definitely recommend!

There is a 4 person dual pov in this book that its the detectives, gary, lauren, jacob and sometimes the child noah. Its so crazy to think you can listen and think what the weirdo at her work (gary) is thinking and for sure a killer on the loose especially what happened in the last family , the house that lauren is staying in now with her son and husband. everyone has a motive, everyone has a dark past or is doing something bad, like her husband is basically cheating on her and she knows about it but plays stupid, jacob is a real idiot i think and is also in trouble at work.
Gary the guy at lauren's job she brings food to because she thinks he doesn't have food looks poor, has another side to him hes def crazy. There were times i was thinking something different like maybe the husband is also in on it because her son Noah has a 'imaginary friend' who lives in the walls and he talks to but doesn't know what he looks like was just creepy till I found out that was Gary.
I was also preparing to see what lauren would think when she finds out gary is the guy at work also living in her walls talking to her kid, what a weirdo. This book was so crazy and the ending was so good for someone who loves thrillers.

Thank you to netgalley for giving me this book for review, thoughts are 100% my own.

Thank you NetGalley for my ARC copy.
Well what a twisted state of affairs. Was a good read, nice character development and the cadence loped along nicely.
The author writes from multiple POV which I love. Each character adding a new dimension to the plot.
An easy read and quite linear, I did enjoy the book, however the “twist” was quite transparent.
A 3 ⭐️ from me.

If you like Freida McFadden as well as John Marrs, then I think you have found your perfect book. Robin Mahle seems to be a pleasant combination of the two writers, which I could not be happier with!

The way time flew by while reading this book was insane. I felt as though I had just picked the book up and then the next thing I know, I was almost done with it. Had I not had to feed my family dinner, I would have finished the book in one sitting. It is so faced paced!

I always had a fear in me when we first bought our house that maybe someone could be up hiding in the attic or even down in the basement. That's what happens in this book, and when I tell you all those fears came right back to me, I am not even joking!

With the several different POV's that are told in the story, there are so many twists and turns that you might need to wear a neck brace! You definitely will not see the ending coming at all!

The man in my attic

I saw this book as an instant read on NetGalley and was desperate for a new book. The description said perfect for fans of Freida McFadden so how could I pass that up? As I read I agree with that but I can also see John marrs fans liking it too.

I saw down and read the first 25% in one setting. It FLEW by. I was slightly worried when I saw how many chapters were in this book but they go by super fast.


Over all I really enjoyed it. It was fast paced but had enough down time to let you catch your breath without being bored. The characters felt dynamic. I could see it play out like a true crime show in my head.
The description were spot on. And again I like a mystery where I feel like I could guess the twist but if they STILL get me when I realize all the pieces to the puzzle were there? I’m in pressed. And there were definitely some twists I didn’t get till right before or as they revealed it.

I’ve never heard of this publishing company or author but I’m excited to read more form them! I even signed up for their news letter and free book alerts!!

Prepare for sleepless nights with this addictive thriller, once you start you won’t be able to put it down!!!
When I tell you I could not put this book down I’m not lying it absolutely gripped me from the beginning. The suspense of the main character stumbling across the man in the attic, the man being caught going in and out the attic I loved every second of this roller coaster of a book it has short chapters which who doesn’t love, suspense to keep you hooked and twists you never see coming.

The concept of having someone stay in your house that you not know of, hiding in the attic for example, is so creepy. This book had its moments of creepy was but overall it was a bit predictable. It’s a generic thriller that does it thing and entertains the reader but it will not be remembered in the long run.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Wow, I honestly did not see that ending coming at all. The book follows several perspectives. While normally, that would be hard to keep track of, it was very easy with this book. The perspectives made sense and gave you so much more in the book. The book gets your attention and keeps it the entire time you are reading. I was honestly so hooked that there were times I had to go back and reread things to make sure that what happened really did happen. The characters are both loveable and scary. The way some of the characters think is astonishing. Overall, if you are looking for a murder mystery that throws in some loops, this is definitely the book for you. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen, something else would happen.

I liked the storyline overall. In my opinion, the additional storylines around Jacob seemed underdeveloped and the book could’ve done without it and still ended up at the same point. I liked the different POVs and I think they were helpful in providing background about the characters and bringing it all together in the end.

A decent read and it did keep me turning pages, but the ending was a little underwhelming. I did enjoy the writing style.

I'll be honest: the synopsis really appeals to me, even though it also sounds cliché. But, personally, I'm a sucker for domestic thrillers of all kinds.
But the execution of this one, even though I won't say it is a bad one (the writing is decent, accessible and fast-paced enough; the characters are clichéd but easy relatable; the setting can be creepy depending on each person's real life fears), it isn't exactly original or engaging.
I personally tend to enjoy thrillers or mystery novels with small kids in the centre of the story, too.
I'd recommend reading this indoors, in the dark and silence. I believe it'll help set the proper mood for such a story.

This book had some creepy vibes to it. I enjoyed it and couldn’t stop reading until the end. I wasn’t expecting the twist. There was murder, serial killer, lies. If you are a fan of Freida McFadden, I think you’d enjoy this book. I definitely recommend. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Do you wanna know what is scary? A strange man living in your attic. What happens next? Read The Man in My Attic to find out.

He’s in our house. I never imagined that moving into our dream home, a beautiful Virginia Colonial, would unravel my life. The renovations are finally complete and I revel in the quiet moments, sipping coffee in the morning sun. But something is off. At first, it’s little things, a creak in the floorboards, a misplaced item. I brush them off, chalking it up to the house settling. My husband Jacob is more distant, buried in late night meetings and coming home reeking of whiskey and lies! Wow some creepy vibes in this one! Good book! This book had suspense, intrigue, murder, mystery, serial killer, and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
