The Bedroom Window by K.L. Slater - Book Review

Book Description

They say they have no children. So who did I see at the window?

My darling little boy Albie adores playing at our new neighbours’ house. And after the terrible year we’ve had, I feel so lucky that we can start over in this perfect place, with new friends who treat Albie like the son they never had. He can’t stop talking about the tree house they’re building him, and the cookies they bake together.

But as time passes, something starts to feel wrong. Why don’t they ever open the front door more than a crack? They told me they had no children, so who does the small pink tricycle I saw in their hall belong to? And why can I hear a lullaby drifting across the garden when I’m tucking my own boy into bed?

Then, one night, I see a small shadowy figure in their bedroom window…

I thought I’d learned my lesson about trusting the wrong people, but now I’m forced to wonder what this perfect couple are hiding.

And if I try to save that little helpless figure in the window, will I do what I’ve always feared most, and put my beautiful boy’s life in danger…?

What I Thought

If you’re looking for a new psychological thriller to keep you on the edge of your seat, you might want to check out The Bedroom Window by K.L. Slater.

The story follows a woman called Lottie who sees a child in her neighbour’s house, despite her neighbours insisting that they have no children. As she becomes more and more obsessed with uncovering the truth, she begins to unravel a web of secrets and lies from her past and present that threaten to destroy everything.

While the plot is well-paced, I found the story to be a bit slow at times and some of the characters were unlikeable. However, the twisty ending did keep me guessing until the very last page and I didn’t see that ending!

If you’re a fan of twisty psychological thrillers and don’t mind some unlikeable characters, The Bedroom Window is worth checking out.
