The Intruders

Newington House had lain empty for thirty years before Cass and James moved in. As they become aware of eerie phenomena and the sense that they are not alone, the future they hoped to build gives way to a dread that their home’s violent history might repeat itself.

'Louise Jensen does it again. A very unnerving, creepy thriller which I couldn't put down until the last page ... Cass, James and Rose's stories will stay with me for a long time' Reader review


'Wow, what a read! How Louise managed to plan this multi-layered, twisty plot is beyond me!' Reader review


* * * *


They were told to leave. They should have listened.

The perfect opportunity...



A manor house available rent-free to house-sitters is an offer too good to miss for Cass and James, who have been saving for a deposit on their own home for so long.


Although it had been abandoned for almost thirty years, after a home invasion left almost all the inhabitants dead, it is an amazing chance for them to build their future.



But is it worth the price?



Shortly after moving in things take a sinister turn. Objects disappear and turn up in odd places, the clock always stops at the same time, the house is strangely oppressive and sometimes it feels like Cass and James are not alone.


Newington House may have bad energy, and a dark reputation. But surely there's no reason for history to repeat itself, is there?
