The Man in the House (DI Helena Stratton #1) by Emmy Ellis & M.A. Comley



He watches. He waits. He strikes.

DI Helena Stratton has been through the wars on a previous case—torture that has scarred her for life, gifting her with nightmares. This new one is no different. On top of that…

A partner she can’t stand. DS Andy Mald needs to buck his ideas up.

A boyfriend she’s just ditched. Or is he a stalker?

A triple murder. Who is doing such hideous things to the bodies?

Someone out there knows.

And he’s desperate to be the man in the house.


I want to say thank you to Emmy Ellis and Mel Comley for writing this amazing and haunting start to the series. I've never read anything by Emmy Ellis before, but her collaboration with Mel Comley was a spark of genius.

This starts off as it means to go on. Bringing the reader RIGHT into the book. When you start it, it WON'T let go. It brings the characters into your own head and makes you feel like you are RIGHT there with them. DI Helena Stratton has a past, which you find out as you read the book as to what happened to her. Her partner DS Andy Mald is a weird one at the start and YES I did wanna throttle him lol. The case they are given is strange at 1st but as the book carries on, you still don't know who the killer is. It isn't til near the end does it all unravel and BOY does it unravel. Be careful what you wish for, because with this book, YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT!

Loved the style of the book and can't wait to read book 2 when it comes out. Mel Comley and Emmy Ellis are 1 heck of a team to write this series.
