One more chapter, indeed.
 The House Hunt is one not to easily be put down. 
 Thank you to Hachette Books and Grand Central Publishing for my gifted copy for review!
 Sam has inherited a house in upscale London, and girlfriend Lucy has been helping to renovate. Except the basement. Due to a traumatic event at a party that Lucy can't quite remember, she's left with near-crippling claustrophobia.
 Their realtor is running late for a showing, so Lucy decides to let client Donovan in for a tour herself. 
 But Donovan may not just be there to view real estate. 
 As occasionally happens (whaaat?), I thought smartly that I knew where this one was headed. Turns out, I did not.
 This is a quick, enjoyable thriller that leaves cliffhangers on nearly every chapter.
 Recommended!
 For release Aug. 29.
