First of all massive apologies to Lynda Stacey for not posting my review yesterday. Life got in the way so again so sorry for the lateness of this post. 

No Place Like Home instantly had me intrigued the minute I read the blurb and then the atmospheric cover completely hooked me in!

Sisters Molly and Beth have experienced the horror of their mother being murdered and in an attempt to disappear, they move to a house set high on the cliff top. The perfect hiding place.......or so they thought. Secrets surface and lives are put at risk. Who can the sisters trust and who is out to do them harm? Is anyone in their lives actually genuine or can they only rely on one another?

I adored this book. Lynda Stacey has created a real sense of place in this house and its wild location. I could feel myself transported there instantly. The slow and intense build up in finding out more and more about each of the characters really set the tone and the tension and I could not put it down...............apologies to my husband for burning his dinner!!! The suspense had my heart racing. I love psychological thrillers and this book certainly did not disappoint. The house being perched on the cliff was enough alone to set my nerves jingling!

I did feel sorry for poor Molly who now had the huge responsibility of her sister Beth, who was not always easy to get along with but grief is a hard thing to process and the book captures just how grief affects different people and can at times be all consuming. How does Molly even have time to think about herself when she now has to take on both the sister and mother role and Beth is really kicking against this. But, she's a teenager and sometimes fails to see the bigger picture. 

There are lots of twists and turns and some terrifying moments within the plot and I kept changing my mind about who our mystery narrator was. They absolutely freaked me out! The sneaking about, the stalking, the desire to kill! Great job Lynda Stacey in keeping this blogger gripped! Highly recommended read.
