Someone in the Attic By Andrea Mara

In Someone in the Attic, the latest thriller from the author of the No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller No One Saw a Thing, suspense and terror are pushed to their limits. Anya is relishing a quiet bath when a sudden noise from the attic interrupts her peace. The attic hatch swings open, and a masked figure drops into the room. Within moments, Anya is dead.

In a wealthy neighborhood where security is paramount, the crime is shocking. Meanwhile, Julia, Anya’s old school friend, is startled by an online video showing a masked figure climbing out of an attic. The footage is unsettlingly familiar—it was filmed inside her own home, a fortress designed to keep intruders out. Julia is left to grapple with a chilling realization: the intruder might not be a stranger at all.

As Julia’s world unravels, she must confront terrifying truths about her own life and the people around her. The safe, luxury gated community where she lives is suddenly fraught with danger, and trust becomes a fragile commodity.

Someone in the Attic delivers a masterclass in psychological suspense, combining sharp, thrilling twists with a deeply atmospheric setting. With a plot that keeps readers on edge, the novel explores themes of paranoia and betrayal, leaving readers questioning every creak and whisper in their own homes. Andrea’s latest work is praised as her best yet, a gripping page-turner that will make you think twice about what lurks in your attic.
