I received this as an advanced reader copy from the Publisher via NetGalley.

This is probably a 3.5. Since finishing it, it is growing on me. There are many complex characters in here with many emotional/mental layers to them.

This is another in a series of books that I seem to be gravitating to lately. Stories of women who are missing/abused/killed, etc and set in London. I really need to find a new line of books, they are all meshing together.

I did like this one better than a couple of the others I have read.

This book tells the stories of two women, who through varying circumstances, end up having lived in the same apartment. One to discover that the prior died while living there.

Many parallels are drawn through their time spent living there, that you feel like history is going to repeat it self, maybe for the third time. As we discover that the landlord/owner/architect's wife died there as well. Both women look like the landlord's deceased wife. Both end up enjoying the rules of the house and having relationships with the owner.

This isn't a normal apartment lease. There are rules and stipulations to living there. Tenants must undergo psychological questionnaire's and be subjected to routine monitoring. The apartment is austere and minimalist in design, and tenants must keep it that way.

The mastery of this story is that what we see and think are not always the truth. It is a great whodunnit mystery. However, at the same time you are left with a general unease of how characters are manipulated.
