Product Description

MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS
'...spooky and fascinating... not a book to read if you've just moved to some far-flung hamlet.' --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review
'The Spider's House is a complex journey which... embarks on a path of chilling discovery that'll have the hairs on the back of your neck standing on end. Diamond twists the coils of suspense to breaking point and in so doing, delivers a first-class psychological thriller that's probably best read with the lights on.' (Shari Low DAILY RECORD )

'An unbelievably chilling insight into the mind of a murderess... This gripping and unsettling book is bound to have you reading into the night... The final pages sent shivers up my spine and were written so masterly I could almost smell Anna's fear.' (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH )

'...spooky and fascinating... not a book to read if you've just moved to some far-flung hamlet.' (MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS )

'This is the kind of thriller that starts off quietly and ends up with you gripped by the need to get to the end, but too scared to read it before going to sleep.' (BSKYB TELETEXT )

'Sarah Diamond develops her tale from such innocuous beginnings towards a shatteringly scary climax... a well-crafted book with suspense carefully maintained.' (Jennifer Palmer REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE )

' a first-class psychological thriller that's probably best read with the lights on.' (DAILY RECORD )

'Diamond skillfully builds a sense of menace as Anna realises her marriage, and her life, may be at risk, and the story ends with a clever and unexpected twist.' (WESTERN DAILY PRESS ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, a bit slow though., 21 Aug 2006
This review is from: The Spider's House (Paperback)
I thought this was a so-so read. It was a bit slow for the majority, and while the ending is good it takes a long time to get there.

The central character, Anna, is really annoying though. Despite finding out about her 'troubled' past, you don't really care about her. She isn't particularly likeable and seems to view the whole world through... what's the opposite of 'rose tinted spectacles'? Well, she's very negative anyway!

A good basis for a story, but just not the most gripping writing style.
