The Girl From Before, by JP Delaney

The dream lifestyle. An irreplaceable economic offer to live in a wonderful house. Jane as the protagonist of a domestic thriller, to call it that.

And precisely for that reason, for finding a dose of mystery and fear in what should be the friendly shelter of a home, the plot grabs you from the beginning. What happens to Jane and what happened to Emma as a previous tenant becomes an exercise in voyeurism for the reader.

Disturbing and intriguing. Scenes that come and go from one protagonist to another in their disparate temporal settings.

Although it is true that the particular conditions of the rental of the house already sound disconcerting, and that the personality of the architect and owner is anticipated from the beginning as typical of a neurotic, the truth is that the charm of the house serves as an absolute justification for a rental contract as peculiar as it is surprising.

Jane and Emma, ​​Emma and Jane. Victims or survivors ... what happened to them? What awaited them between those four walls? The reader observing what happens from his privileged indiscreet window.

A short and very agile read. A brief capitulation that throws you from one protagonist to another, bringing confusion and symmetries. Interesting reading for lovers of the psychological thriller.
