The Quiet House

Maya Torres comes to Foxglove Cottage to rebuild her life after the collapse of her marriage. The isolated stone house promises privacy, distance and the kind of quiet she thinks she needs. Then she finds a diary hidden beneath the floorboards. Its owner, Ellie Marsh, vanished months earlier - and the final entries describe a landlord whose kindness became surveillance, a village that repeated the same careful story, and a house that never felt empty. When Maya discovers another missing tenant and the people around her begin watching what she asks, suspicion hardens into a pattern. Her car will not start. The landline goes dead. And the man who knows every lane for miles is waiting outside. To escape Foxglove Cottage, Maya must trust the instincts she has spent years teaching herself to doubt. The Quiet House is a tense British psychological thriller about isolation, coercive control, missing women and the danger of not being believed. It is the first Marrowdale Thriller, introducing DC Farida Hassan.
