'[A] thought-provoking . . . examination of damaged psyches and the consequences of secrets' Times

When darkness is everywhere, nowhere is safe...

A state of emergency has been declared in the UK. From now on, at 8pm every night, all electricity cuts out.
The Government promises it's a temporary measure. They promise they are always thinking of your safety.

But for Grace, the darkness is anything but safe.

Someone is coming into her house under its cover every night while she lies in bed upstairs, too terrified to sleep. Someone who knows her past, who knows why she has more reason to fear the dark than most...

And every morning she wakes to a new message from the intruder:

I have you in my sights. Love, The Night

But how can Grace escape, when there's nowhere safe left to hide?

'Tense and intriguing, creeping paranoia oozes from every page . . . Louise Swanson is a talent that shines in the dark' Janice Hallett

'The most zeitgeist thriller of 2024 . . . Terrifyingly believable and horribly real. I'd say I devoured it, but I think the truth is that it devoured me' Helen Fields

'Chillingly convincing, this is a novel that echoes around your head for a long time after reading' B.P. Walter

"Lights Out" by the talented Louise Swanson is a deviously dark and gripping British thriller, perfectly narrated by the exquisite Rose Robinson. I snagged it for free via Amazon Music's March selection, aind it was a standout. The story follows Grace, trapped in her own home by a mysterious intruder who’s exploiting the UK’s nightly blackouts. This is my first by Swanson, and I’ll be on the search for more. Her writing is terrifyingly believable, and Robinson's velvet vocals add an extra layer of tension. Her narration is the cherry on top, making it must-have. If you crave British thrillers with complex characters and a mad dash of horror, this one’s for you.

NOTE: So I listen to Audible through Alexa, and I had some tech issues with “Lights Out” – there was a glitch between chapters. Picked it back up after a couple days, and it was still a bit wonky, but worth it. So glad I stuck with it.
