The Break-In

If you’re looking for a book with some really great twists and turns, then The Break-In by Katherine Faulkner is the perfect book for you. When an intruder breaks into Alice’s house, she reacts by hitting him with a stool, an act that ultimately kills the young man. As the weeks carry on, Alice starts thinking about why her house was targeted in the attack. Although it is ruled a case of self-defense, she feels as if there was a reason the young man was there, and not just to rob her.

Faulkner does a fantastic job of making readers think Alice has just gone mad, when really, there is a whole other side to story that doesn’t get revealed until the second half of the book. All of the secondary characters play their parts well, including the manipulative sister of the man who broke into Alice’s house. The book kept me guessing who was innocent and who wasn’t. This book is perfect for fans of suspenseful thrillers who love a great twisty story that is neatly delivered in the end.
