The Man in My Attic by Robin Mahle
5.0
The Man in My Attic was an interesting and sometimes difficult read. The plot itself I was hooked with from the start but the problem I had was the characters. I just felt that they never really developed that much and seemed to stay rather trope like throughout. I think this stuck out more to me because each chapter has a point of view of the characters it highlighted this more. If it had been more of a third person narrative this might not have been so easy.
That said the plot itself did keep me invested. It was interesting enough to hold me, even if I was hoping more than once some of the characters would end up victims. The subplot with Jacob was a nice little extra to add in a few more twists and turns. All in all this was a good thriller. For me the only let down where some of the characters. This was a easy 3 to 3.5 that I’ve rounded up to 4.
