FREE delivery: March 9 - 15 Details

New house. Fresh start. Same husband.

Can you paint over the cracks in a marriage?

‘Felicity has the reader gripped when she explores unhealthy relationships based on insecurity and delusion. She writes with a raw realism’ Adele Parks, Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author, in Platinum

Karen has packed up her life and is making The Move. She’s on her way to the idyllic country cottage which her husband has painstakingly renovated for her. They’re escaping the London bustle and the daily grind. And they’re escaping their past.

A fresh start in a beautiful, peaceful village. It will be different here, right?

But something is awry. The landscape, breathtaking by day, is eerie by night. The longed-for peace and solitude is stifling. And the house, so artfully put together by her husband, has a strange vibe. Now that Karen is cut off from her old friends and family, she can’t help wondering if her husband has plans of his own, and that history might be repeating itself.

From the author of the bestselling The People at Number 9 comes a dark and redemptive tale of a rural dream gone wrong…

Praise for The Move:

‘A dark and foreboding tale of a rural dream gone wrong; of what can happen when we try to paint over the cracks’ Sunday Post

‘Dark and gripping, this tale is perfect for snuggling up with by the fire with a glass or two of wine’ Closer

‘Tense and tightly plotted’ Woman

‘I loved the author’s writing style, the complexities of the plot, and how she was able to use imagery to make the landscape seem more beautiful or ominous to the reader’ Emma’s Biblio Treasures

Praise for Felicity Everett:

‘An exciting, dark novel about friendship; brutally truthful and raw’ Adele Parks

‘This was clever, relentless and utterly recognisable. I absolutely loved it!’ Katie Fforde

‘Excruciating yet unputdownable, this is domestic noir at its most gripping’ Woman & Home

‘An exciting, dark novel about friendship; brutally truthful and raw’ Adele Parks

‘This was clever, relentless and utterly recognisable. I absolutely loved it!’ Katie Fforde

‘Very occasionally, a novel that's not in the crime genre grips me as much as the best thrillers do. The People at Number 9 held me in its vice-like grip from first page to last. It's a fascinating analysis of an unhealthy friendship based on insecurity and delusion, and the characters are so vividly drawn that I sympathised with them and despaired of them in equal measure’ Sophie Hannah

‘Excruciating yet unputdownable, this is domestic noir at its most gripping’ Woman & Home

‘Beady insights into female friendship. Irresistible, excruciating and unputdownable’ Fanny Blake

‘Incisively witty, painfully true… draws the reader in with the voyeuristic joy of gossiping about our friends and neighbours, with a shocking sting in the tail to catch us all out’ Samantha King

Read for book club

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2021

Verified Purchase

This was our book clubs choice of the month, not my usual choice of book, I have to admit to skim reading parts. The use of descriptive language was good. The characters were believable.and familiar, could imagine them being neighbours. I may have missed something in the skim reading but wouldn't have described it as a psychological thriller.

Gripping novel about a relationship in trouble and the displacement of moving to a new community.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2020

Verified Purchase

I loved this book! It is beautifully written from start to finish and all the characters are well formed and authentic. A married couple move from London to the country in an attempt to save their relationship and start afresh. The author perfectly captures lives in transition and the dynamics of a troubled marriage, as well as the trials of trying to build a community of friends in a new environment. The novel is full of insight about marriage, friendship, displacement, motherhood. It is a wonderful read. I finished it in 3 days because I didn't want to put it down.

Such a ridiculously slow book

I was so looking forward to reading this book as I had enjoyed her last one but this was just so slow and not the least bit gripping, I wanted to give up but persevered with it. Definitely not one of her best.

Not quite what I was expecting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2020

When I chose this book to read and review, I thought I was going to be reading a psychological thriller, and so I read with different expectations.
The story was interesting, and I enjoyed it, but I couldn't for the life of me see what sort of thrilling twist was going to happen, so I read on avidly.
As the pivotal drama unfolded, I was imagining different scenarios of "who'd done what", only to find that was a red herring. From this point on, for me, and probably more so from what I was expecting, the story went downhill.
Now that I realise the story was not a psychological thriller, but a family drama, I can assess it more accurately. From the pivotal point, the story does have several unexpected twists to wrap up the loose ends. The ending was an eye opener!

Good writing but uneventful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2020

This is about a couple who move to a quiet, scenic village in the countryside after moving from the hustle and bustle of London to escape the drama they left behind and to try and repair their tattered marriage.

They make friends with some of their neighbours and small little incidents start to occur. Karen has to deal with her paranoia and her husband’s flirtations with the local ladies.

I still do not know what to make of this book. I thought it was going to be a thriller after previously reading the book description but it was more about a troubled marriage and Karen’s insecurities. It is very slow moving and nothing really seems to happen. I kept reading onwards until I got to the very end and still nothing had really occurred of interest. There were also no real answers to any of the minor events that took place in the book.

It is very well written and the author captured Karen’s feelings perfectly but I just felt very disappointed with the whole plot.

Thank you Netgalley and HQ for letting me read the ARC in exchange for an honest review but personally this was not for me.

Girl Novel Living

Suspicious, intense & engaging!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2020

I love Everett's writing style and was engaged in the story from the start, she draws you into a marriage where both sides aren't exactly what they first seem, something is off from she has you constantly questioning the character and their motives.

There is a great mix of characters are all of them have depth and they are fully formed in their own rights each interesting with their desires and flaws which only serves to make them more dimensional. Nick the husband is a particularly hard character to read which builds the intensity.

The novel is set in an idyllic country village surrounded by wide open space is still somehow claustrophobic and eerie creating more intrigue.

It missed out on 5⭐ because I was slightly disappointed by the ending I felt like more could have been done with it. But overall I was captivated by this clever enjoyable read and I look forward to reading more from Everett.

Thanks to HQ Stories for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

A Book n Brew

An observation of a marriage. Can it work, starting over somewhere new?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2020

I really enjoyed this book. There isn’t a huge plot to it, it’s more an observation of a marriage. When Karen moves from London to their new house out in the countryside with her husband Nick it’s for a fresh start. When you first meet up with both the central characters, as Nick shows his wife around their recently revamped countryside home, you get the impression something has gone before. Something that caused a big upheaval both in their lives and within their marriage but they seem happy together, excited at the prospect of something new.

But as the pages are turned and you get further into the book and further into their lives, you realise there are still cracks in the marriage. That element of trust is wavering, does Nick want what’s best for his wife or is he perhaps a little too over protective to the extent of controlling?

Then there’s the strained relationship between Nick and their nineteen year old son Ethan

There’s also village life within the story too. A charity auction, a birthday get together for one of the neighbours. They all add their own small side plots to what is going on between Karen and her husband, plenty to keep the reader interested.

It is told in the first person by Karen. I liked her character who can at times be lacking in self confidence, often doubting her own mind but nevertheless always feeling a little reticent about her husbands motives, that nagging doubt about whether she can fully trust him.

I enjoyed it and liked the ending, perhaps to be expected but nevertheless I thought it concluded the book well.

I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley.
