The Visit: a nail-biting psychological thriller Kindle Edition

3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars 1,669 ratings

One mistake can ruin everything.

Vanessa and Curtis have just moved to an idyllic house in the seaside town of Whitstable. Their life there is wonderful, until Vanessa’s ex-boyfriend Hayden shows up out of the blue.

Hayden is not only brash and unpredictable with a warped sense of humour, he also seems intent on making life very difficult for Vanessa, who hasn't seen him since she was sixteen.

As Hayden causes more and more disruption in their lives, Curtis begins to realise that he has some kind of bizarre hold on Vanessa.

And when she suggests a plan to remove Hayden from their lives forever, Curtis becomes convinced she's hiding some big secret from her past.

But has Vanessa underestimated how dangerous and unpredictable Hayden is? How far will he go to get what he wants? And how far will
she go to stop her perfect life from being destroyed?

The Visit is a gripping psychological thriller with satisfying twists and turns that will keep readers enthralled till the very end.

I was born in 1979 and live in Kent, England, with my wife and children. For over fifteen years, I ran a private investigation agency specialising in breach of contract claims, commercial debt recovery, process serving, and people tracing. Much of my work involved tracking down debtors, assisting with adoption cases, and finding missing persons. Along the way, I handled many unusual cases and met some fascinating and often colourful characters, which have heavily influenced my writing.

    I like the surprising ends of what was happening, a true mind
    bender for sure.

    I read this book relatively quickly. I had hopes for a juicy back story. To me it seemed the author tried to make Vanessa a tough badass, who had a tough life and had the worst kind of life changing event that she was part of, she got just as screwed in the event as anyone else. She wasn’t this super disturbed, self destructive, menace to society, but she was just a normal dramatic teenage girl. Her poor husband was a big wuss and had plenty of times to stand up and be a man with a backbone, although the incident between he and Russell was a good tension moment and the fight towards the end as well as the car chase. I did enjoy the book I was just expecting a little more catching story with the teenagers. I look forward to reading more from this author.

    I truly did not like this book. As a psychological thriller, it did take various twists and turns, but they didn’t live up to her other books.

Everything is going great until someone from Vanessa’s past comes to put a crack in their perfect plans. A thrilling psychological thriller with interesting and compelling characters.

    Curtis and Vanessa are visited by a stranger. This may be a stranger to Curtis, but it certainly is not a stranger to Vanessa. This is an ex from Vanessa's past. Hayden Knox
    Hayden keeps showing up. He wants something, that's for sure.
    Vanessa is certainly not enthused with seeing Hayden at all. The memories of the past aren't too happy, and she doesn't want things popping back up into her future life.
    Now, another man shows up. Looks just like Hayden. Curtis finds out that this man is actually Hayden, and his twin brother Russell has been posing as him. The real Hayden begins to tell Curtis about their youth and when him and Vanessa were younger.
    Seems she was a wee bit nuts. Had a temper and believed that she saw some creatures she identified with as being Trolls.
    Hayden has underling motives. He isn't the innocent person he is portraying to be.
    He is out to destroy Vanessa and anybody else who stands in his way

    So, this book started out great. I enjoyed it all the way to the end. Usually when I get to the last 25% of a thriller I can not put it down. It took me days to finish. It’s like it went on and on for no reason. The ending was not as thrilling as it should have been.

    5.0 out of 5 stars a fantastic page turner
    Reviewed in Canada on August 21, 2023
    The blueprint is not uncommon, a woman is now happily married with kids but is hiding a dark secret from her past that comes back to bite her in the ass. Twenty seven years later, a knock on the door from an old boyfriend is the catalyst for a series of intense events that put our main character and her family in a whirlwind of danger. Lies upon lies are thrown at the reader, with some truths thrown in, which kept me flying thru the pages. The first big reveal threw me for a loop, didn't see that one coming. Then the tension is really amped up as Vanessa and husband try to get out from under the lies and blackmail. For reasons that are slowly presented, Vanessa does not want to involve the police. Whom to trust? which character is telling the truth about what happened 27 years ago? I felt this was a clever story expertly told. Tight pacing with no filler. The dialogue between the husband and wife I found to be authentic (although their actions are not, but it's a story::)
