Giveaway #682 : Win a copy of The Visitors by Catherine Burns - closed - winner Susie Wilkinson

Today, the blog tour for the greatly anticipated international thriller The Visitors by Catherine Burns is stopping off at The Madhouse. Inspired by highly publicised crimes, such as those of Josef Fritzl and the imprisonment of Natacha Kampusch, it's a dark and disturbing novel that is reminiscent of Grey Gardens and Room.

Here's the official blurb :

Marion Zetland lives with her domineering older brother, John, in a decaying Georgian townhouse on the edge of a northern seaside resort. A timid spinster in her fifties who still sleeps with teddy bears, Marion does her best to shut out the shocking secret that John keeps in the cellar. Until suddenly, John has a heart attack and Marion is forced to go down to the cellar herself and face the gruesome truth that her brother has kept hidden. As questions are asked and secrets unravel, maybe John isn't the only one with a dark side.

'Once you start Catherine Burns's dark, disturbing, and enthralling novel, it's hard to stop. The Visitors is bizarrely unsettling, yet compulsively readable.'

Iain Reid, Internationally Bestselling Author

'Burns blurs the line between crime fiction and horror...Deliberate pacing, a claustrophic setting, and vivid, wildly unsympathetic characters complement the twisted and grim conclusion.'

Publishers Weekly

And here's a little extract from my review : It makes you look at the people sitting next to you on the bus or in the supermarket queue and wonder what deep dark secrets are lurking beneath their respectable exteriors, and that is enough to give you the chills, long after you have finished reading the final page ! It's a disturbing, unsettling but strangely addictive read. (Click through for my full review of The Visitors by Catherine Burns.)
