Synopsis

“The queen of the sucker-punch twist.” —Ruth Ware, author of The Woman in Cabin 10

The bestselling author of the “masterfully plotted, compulsive page-turner” (The Guardian) Our House takes you on a haunting and nail-biting journey of tragedy and revenge.

The Heights is a tall, slender apartment building among warehouses in London. Its roof terrace is so discreet, you wouldn’t know it existed if you weren’t standing at the window of the flat directly opposite. But you are. And that’s when you see a man up there—a man you’d recognize anywhere. He may be older now, but it’s definitely him.

But that can’t be because he’s been dead for over two years. You know this for a fact.

Because you’re the one who killed him.

With Louise Candlish’s signature dark and twisty prose, The Heights shows “the ferocity of maternal love” (Hannah Beckerman, author of If Only I Could Tell You). “This cleverly constructed novel will keep readers enthralled until the last page” (Publishers Weekly, starred).

Goodreads review by Nilufer on August 01, 2022

As a fan of Louise Candlish, this book absolutely kept me at the edge of my seat and gave me extra anxiety attacks! I was drawn into story from the beginning.

The book opens when Ellen Saint sees Kieran standing on the rooftop terrace of a building. How is this possible? She KNOWS he died two years ago. Seeing Kieran creates a rage in her that can’t be extinguished. How is it possible this monster is still walking the earth and what will she do about it? F......more

Goodreads review by Holly on January 30, 2022

A bust! This story was all about obsession and revenge. Ellen blames Kieran for her son's death and she lives and breathes revenge. She wants what she feels is justice. Every single page was about her being totally consumed with thoughts of Kieran. (at least it felt that way to me)! I even had to swit......more

HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY! Ellen Saint is working with a client at their condo when she happens to glance at the apartment building next door. The Heights is the name of the building.

3.5 ⭐️ Ellen Saint cannot believe what she is seeing. As she gazes at the discreet rooftop terrace of “The Heights”, from the building across from it, she recognizes the man standing on it. But that isn’t possible. He has been dead for two years and she is the one who killed him. That is all the syno......more
