THE DEVIL UPSTAIRS by Anthony O’Neill

BLACK AND WHITE PUBLISHING

DESCRIPTION

In a quiet corner of Edinburgh,
Cat Thomas is going through hell.
She’s tried everything. He respects nothing.

If your neighbour was making your life hell…
Would you call upon the devil?


Cat Thomas, a brilliant fraud investigator, has just relocated from Florida to a dreamy flat in historic Edinburgh. Everything seems perfect. Everything seems serene. Except for the unbelievably noisy wannabe rockstar upstairs.

Soon Cat’s blissful new life is in ruins. Desperate, she’s willing to try anything. When all else fails, she makes an appeal … to Satan.

And suddenly everything is eerily quiet. But her nightmare has only just begun …

MOMO’S REVIEW

I loved this book. As regular followers may be aware I am drawn by covers more than descriptions…. I was immediately drawn to this cover and as I had recently moved into an upper flat where I was concerned about the noise being herd in the flat below I was keen to read this book. I do not make any noise like is described in this book – I have carpets and remove shoes as soon as I enter the flat….. admittedly after reading I am now walking around even less and being even more aware of noise!

On to the story… Have you ever wished someone dead? Have you ever felt hatred towards someone so much that it is a recurring thought in your head? That is exactly what happens to Cat in this story. Cat’s new start in Edinburgh has been soured by her noisy neighbour above. Cat’s colleague suggests a way of dealing with this and thats when things take a satanic twist…

I found this to be an interesting read. The author has an easy enjoyable writing style and the story had a good pace. It is a thriller with a very different theme to anything else I have read recently. I read it in less than a day as I was completely entertained and needed to know what would happen.

I would recommend this as an enjoyable quick and easy read.
