About this eBook

‘Extremely fast paced and completely page-turning ... will stay in my mind for a long time’ Sunday Times bestseller B P Walter on The Good Neighbour

The Removal Man is an utterly unputdownable suspense thriller that imagines your worst house-moving nightmare – and then dials it up to 11.

Rose is moving. For her and her son, Noah, this is going to be a fresh start.

She’s almost finished packing but Noah is determined to spend one last night camping out in the garden like he used to. Rose agrees as long as he wraps up warm inside their small tent.

Four hours later she’s woken by a frantic banging on the window.

It’s Noah.

There’s someone in the garden.

That’s when Rose picks up the kitchen knife.

Ratings and reviews

I just could not read this book. It was far too scary and creepy for me. I almost had a panic attack reading it. I got to about chapter 10 then deleted it from my kindle. It is ok to be scared, unnerved but I was totally freaked out. Not a thriller to my mind more your worst ever nightmare.

This was a binge-read! The plot is so detailed and very captivating in it's entirety. Every page feels like a cliff-hanger and it just keeps you wanting more! This is one of the best short stories I've ever read!
