A great read that rocks you to your foundations!!

Wow, what a book, absolutely loved this. Might be TM Logan's best book yet.

Adam and Jess and their family have just moved to their dream home and find a hidden room behind a wardrobe with some unusual items, which Adam is keen to find out more about. The more he investigates, the more fascinated he becomes, with some very interesting and scary times ahead for all.

Incredibly spooky and so many twists, you'll end up lost, particularly that ending. Hope The Dream Home makes it the small screen too with a such a great storyline. I really felt like I was there. Great writing from TM Logan.

A big thanks to Bonnier Books UK, Zaffre for the opportunity to read this fantastic review title ahead of publication date.

My thanks to NetGalley and Bonnier books for a copy of “ The Dream Home” for an honest review.

T M Logan is one of my favourite authors , and I regularly recommend his books when asked for suggestions for a good thriller.
His work is consistently excellent , well written and suspenseful.All the characters are well rounded and easily relatable.
I really struggled to put this book down as I got so absorbed in it.
I think this book would make an excellent reading group book ,and also an absorbing tv show.
Very highly recommended.

Adam and his family move into their new home, a splendid old Victorian home in a posh area which has them stretched financially, and more or less immediately they discover Strange Things. He discovers a hidden room behind a fitted wardrobe, in which is an old cobweb covered desk; inside the desk are a number of objects which include a dog collar and a Rolex watch. It’s obvious this room has been undisturbed for decades, so who used it, and who put these things there? Next they find a CCTV camera way up near the top of a tree pointed right at the front of the house, and a couple more inside. These, apparently, aren’t ancient relics put in place by the previous (ancient) owner, but rather are quite new. Who put them there and why? The plot thickens – or it might if only things moved a bit faster. …

Let’s return to Adam, a man who lies to his wife on a regular basis, and whose mission in life is to find out who owned the dog collar. I’m talking, here, about a collar worn by a dog, not a man-of-the-cloth. He even drives out to the address on the dog tag and there, much to his surprise, and my amazement, after all these years the owner of the dog – or rather, his wife – still lives in the house. Even more surprising is that she invites this total stranger into her home for tea, biscuits and a stroll down memory lane on the strength of a dog collar! Would you? I know I wouldn’t.

I’m about halfway through, and although there are several glowing reviews for this I will have to leave Adam to solve the mystery on his own. I’m not interested in him as a character, who constantly refers to the many boxes because they’ve “just moved in”…..that’s what tends to hang around after a move, we don’t need to be repeatedly bludgeoned about it. I don’t care about the dog’s owner or his sad wife, or the owner of the watch, or Adam’s family who are as flat as a piece of paper.

This is the second, maybe the third of this author’s books I’ve tried and given up on, so I think it’s time I accepted his books are just not for me.

My thanks to the publisher for granting my wish for this book on Netgalley, but I now know to avoid Mr Logan’s books.

Full of secrets and intrigue. I hugely enjoyed this book. Logan never disappoints, I'm always hooked by his stories.

TM Logan is an auto buy author for many years now since I first read The Catch and I have read all his books ever since and this book did not disappoint! This is not my favourite of his but definately draws you in instantly by the title and the opening chapters. Would highly recommend to everyone and already waiting for the next book!
Thanks to Netgalley & Bonnier books for sending me this arc in exchange for my honest review.

This is my fourth T,M. Logan book and I’ve enjoyed all of them. They are always complex and very twisty thrillers.
In ‘The Dream Home’ a young family move into an old Victorian house which they plan to be their forever home. Virtually straight away the husband Adam, discovers a secret room in the top of the house where he discovers some old items, one of which is an expensive Rolex watch. Adam becomes obsessed with finding out more about this secret room and the items he has uncovered and so begins the tale……..

It took me a while to work out who was who and how they fitted in to the complex storyline. Then, my usual feeling of having to bear in mind that it’s fiction and to remember to allow for some poetic licence and having to suspend my feelings of ‘really’ and ‘who does that’ occurred as Adam continues to pretend he’s at work, all the while looking into the ‘mystery’ of the items and the hidden cameras that they discovered in the house and in the garden. For a happily married man, he thinks nothing of perpetually lying to his wife!

I did feel the book dragged a bit in the middle and I got a bit impatient but I persevered and got to the end only to discover that I hadn’t had a clue as to who the perpetrator was, any ideas that I had were completely wrong!

Not my favourite, sadly, but in fairness to the book and the author I much prefer when the police solve the crime!

My thanks, as always go to the author, the publishers and to NetGalley for an advanced e.reader copy of this book.

When Adam, Jess and their three children move into their dream home everything seems perfect . The discovery of a hidden room with a dresser which contains several mysterious objects including an old mobile
at first seems intriguing but soon becomes a living nightmare.

Adam is intrigued by the objects and starts to investigate how or why they got there. With the discovery of hidden cameras in his home , things seem to become increasingly sinister.

As the storyline unfolds we learn how these objects are linked to the history of the house . As Adams research deepens so does a series of terrifying events that not only puts himself in danger but also his family.

This book had me on the edge of my seat. It is full of suspense and intrigue and had me trying to solve the mystery whilst having an eerie feeling as I page turned .

If you’re a fan of mystery thrillers this is one not to be missed, maybe not so much if you’re thinking of a house move in the near future.

Another page turning read from TM Logan - a family move into a rambling old house in need of repair and, after finding a secret room, the protagonist makes one wrong decision that starts him and his family down a path of danger.
A well constructed page turner this one will appeal to fans of the author's previous books and new readers alike.
Read it in a couple of sittings and really enjoyed this one.

📣THE DREAM HOME - T.M LOGAN: MY REVIEW 📰

This isn't out till next month,but it is going to do really well,I can feel it!
Adam and Jess have just moved into a large Victorian house with their 3 kids. As he's checking out the rooms Adam discovers a hidden door to a secret room behind a wardrobe. Inside he comes upon a few abandoned items,like a phone,wallet,watch and other bits. Jess says they should just throw them away but Adam is intrigued..there's obviously a story behind them. He should've left well alone. What happens next he couldn't have even imagined. I'm sure murder,stalking,kidnap,and bribery wouldn't have been at the top of his list if he had!
This book is thrilling! It got to a point where we thought we knew who was responsible,and could see why Adam was suspicious of everyone,but it wasn't who I thought. It keeps you hooked,and guessing. T.M Logan strikes again. Get your hands on this in February 📖

BOOKWORMS RATING: 📒📒📒📒

I've had the pleasure of reading most of TM Logan's books and 'The Mother' is still my favourite. However, 'The Dream Home' sent shivers down my spine. I think it's the creepiest novel that Logan has written, not least because it seems like it could actually happen.

Unless you move into a brand new home, there's often something the previous owners have left behind. We found newspapers in our loft dating back to the 1930s. Adam, though, finds another small room in his attic space - one that isn't on the house plans. From that moment on, things spiral out of control as Adam seeks to solve the riddle of the hidden room and the secrets contained within.

It took me a while to settle into the book (I'm like that with most books at the moment) but once I was in, I was heavily invested. TM Logan has paced this book just right, with the reveals at the right time and casting doubt on everyone. I didn't guess who was responsible (so frustrating!) but in some ways, I do love that. I think this is another book that could be heading for a TV adaption.

The Dream Home is an absolutely fantastic read and is hands down T.M Logan's best book to date. I loved everything about this story, the characters were fantastic and so well written - it has been a couple of days since I actually finished the story and I honestly feel like I am missing Adam and his family. I love that the book was set in Nottingham, which is very local to me, as I love being able to really visualise the places T.M Logan describes.
I cannot speak more highly about this book - it is an amazing story with such originality - it kept me up reading over night, I just could not put it down.
I cannot wait for T.M Logan's next book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bonnier Books UK for my ARC.

I have read most of TM Logan's books over the last couple of years and so was absolutely delighted to be approved to read his latest thriller.
The story follows Adam, Jess and their children as they move into their dream home. Adam soon discovers a secret room in the house. Curiosity takes over and he explores the room only to find some possessions of an unknown person. One of the items is an old flip phone, again, Adam is curious to find out its owner and decides to text/ring the number. From this point onwards things progress very quickly and take a dark turn.
Adam has secrets of his own which further complicate his situation. He works through to try and solve the mystery of the room, the items and the house.
I really enjoyed this book and it was written in typical TM Logan style, so if you enjoyed his previous books, you're in for a treat with his latest. I always find the endings of his books fast pace and almost frantic. I finished the final 40% in one sitting as I was desperate to reach the conclusion.
Really enjoyable, creepy, suspensful and fast paced. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review.

Fantastic from start to finish. This book has lots of excellent elements all tied together to make it the perfect compelling rollercoaster ride. Moving into a new house, particularly one which is old and has lots of nooks and crannies,is relatable and evocative. You imagine the years worth of previous owners and find whispers of their past lives in the treasures left behind. The treasures aren’t necessarily of much monetary value but are echoes of the past. So what if these items tell a more sinister tale and have a lot riding on them for someone out there who doesn’t know where they’re lurking. I loved the fast paced action and deeply atmospheric dark and sinister feel to the story. It definitely capitalised on primeval instincts that come into force when you feel you’re being watched and your family are under real threat. The book had particular appeal for me as it’s based in Nottingham, where I grew up and all the places mentioned are endearingly familiar and a real pleasure to revisit and recognise along the way. Who doesn’t love a perfectly crafted mystery to boot and the whole thing tied up in perfect bundle of sheer pleasure reading. Thoroughly recommend.

The Dream Home by T . M Logan

You always know what you are going to get with a TM Logan book , a brilliant physiological read , and this one is no different , a joy to read.
Adam , Jess and their children move into their new home , well an old victorian house, all seems good at the beginning but then,Adam finds a secret room.
I loved the main characters and the plot to This book which had many exciting twists as it all unfolded.

Adam and Jess and their 3 children move into a Victorian villa in the affluent part of Nottingham. But it wthey house hasn’t had any works done on it since the 1970’s. So, Adam gets to work on the renovations. When he discovers a secret room whilst dismantling some old walk-in wardrobes. He discovers several items in a dresser including an old mobile phone. He wants to find out the mystery of the items, so he decides to investigate. There is something not right about this house. He can feel it. So, when he receives a text on the old mobile phone. He realises that himself and his family are in danger, and it is confirmed when he finds secret cameras hidden around the house. Who is spying on them and why? What is the links to the items that where found and what happened in the house all then years ago?
I thank the author and the publisher for T.M. Logan’s latest offering. This is my last book for 2023 that I am reading, and I can say this was well worth the wait. This is a fantastic thriller full of suspense and tension and had an uncomfortable eerie feel to it. While Adam was searching in the house. This story kept me not only at the end of my seat but kept me wanting more. I hope like some of Mr Logan’s other books made into a series, that this one would be made into one too. I think it would be fabulous. I highly recommend. 5 stars from me.

This is a great book- perhaps even the best by this author. It’s fast-paced and twisty with loads of red-herrings. A modern mystery that kept me gripped to the end!

‘The Dream Home’ by T. M. Logan tells the story of Adam, who has just moved into his new property in a swish Nottingham estate with his wife Jess and three children. On the very first day, Adam finds a secret annexe containing some seemingly random items and his insatiable curiosity means that soon the dream home and its long-buried secrets drag him into a terrible nightmare.

Told over the course of just eleven days, the gripping storyline has numerous twists and red herrings as Adam tries to piece together the mystery without endangering his family. I enjoyed the tense atmosphere and the growing sense of dread throughout the novel. I read the whole book in one sitting this morning and after a few gasp-worthy moments, the ending lived up to the hype and provided an unexpected but satisfying conclusion.

I’d definitely recommend this book to fans of T. M. Logan’s other works, or to those who enjoy the domestic thriller writings of Lisa Jewell or Louise Candlish!

I received a free review copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest feedback. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher Bonnier Books UK for the opportunity to read an early ebook copy!

A good book with all the tense elements of a thriller. I really feared for Adam and his family. My only criticism is that I wish Adam wasn't quite so dim. He made some incredibly poor choices, which weren't so bad at the start but became rather tiresome as the danger got worse. Still, a good read, with satisfying enough twists, by a good author.

I don’t even have to have read the retailer description on anything written by this author. As long as his name is on it, I want to read it.

There is just something about old houses that appeals to me so I was hooked as soon as I started reading of the Victorian villa that Adam and Jess have just moved into which needs a lot of TLC. The house is holding something sinister though and it isn’t long before the couple who have pushed themselves to the limits to buy it, are beginning to regret it.

The items that Adam discovers in the house are an odd collection in itself but I never envisioned what was about to unfold. The more we find out about them, I was screaming to him to put them back and forget about them, but then where would the fun in that be? The more he learns about these items, the more danger him and his family find themselves in. It literally had my pulse pounding with every page turned.

T.M. Logan has nailed it again in his latest psychological thriller, The Dream Home. My nerves were literally on edge as I tried my best not to devour this book too quickly but failed miserably. The story was addictive, if not more so than normal, and it had me racing through and clinging on for dear life. So many shocking twists of which the final one sent my head spinning. The author is the king when it comes to seriously thrilling and unputdownable stories. A guaranteed page turner!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of The Dream Home by T M Logan in return for my honest review.
You know when you start one of T M Logans books you’re going to be in for a real treat and some very late nights, The Dream Home is no exception I absolutely loved it. The story sucks you in from the start a new house a secret room with some unusual finds and with a few bad decisions things start going wrong quickly. I highly recommend reading this and any of T M Logans books you will not be disappointed.
