The Attic Room by Linda Huber – Riveting!
Linda Huber, originally from Scotland, lives in Switzerland. I got to know here through her books and on social media but had the pleasure of meeting her in person on my visits to Switzerland, my home country. We had a lot of fun exploring Zurich, eating, and enjoying a glass (or two) of Prosecco!
Linda writes psychological thrillers that you can’t put down once you start reading them! Here is my review of The Attic Room.
When Nina’s mother dies after a horrible car accident, the small family consisting of three generations: Claire, her mother, Nina, and Naomi, Nina’s daughter, is ripped apart. Nina buries herself in her work and the care of her daughter, trying to go on with her life. A phone call from a man who claims to be the lawyer of her father throws her existence into even more turmoil. Nina’s father had died when Nina was three years old; at least that is what Claire, her mother, had told her. The man who claims to be her father, however, is still alive and lives in a retirement home. So who is he? Was it a misunderstanding? Was he an uncle, some other relative? Was he an impostor? After the mysterious relative dies unexpectedly and she is named in his will, Nina leaves her peaceful island and flies to Bedfordshire to find an answer to this unsettling matter. When she gets there, she is forced to unravel a deeply troubling and highly dangerous family secret that throws her completely off kilter. One nightmare follows another to the point where even Naomi’s life is in danger.
The Attic Room is fascinating story and a real page-turner. I couldn’t put it down. It deals with difficult issues, but there is enough love and hope to counter the darkness of this family’s history.
