‘OH MY GOD!!... Outstanding!... From the minute I picked this book up I struggled to pull myself away… I was hooked! There were SO many twists and turns…Amazing!... My heart was pounding throughout! Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!’ Jessica’s Book Biz, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A beautiful young woman has been found dead in a hotel near our home. The keycard to her room is in my husband’s pocket…

Our quiet, tree-lined street is, the perfect place to raise our little girl. Or so I thought. Because on the news tonight, a mother weeps for her bright, vibrant daughter, killed barely five minutes from our home.

But as I'm tidying the house, waiting for my husband to come home so I can feel safe, I find it. A key card for room 12 at the River Walk Hotel. Where that poor girl has just been found dead.

My hand starts to shake as I clutch the card tight. I know Max has been a bit distracted, arriving home later and later. I’ve even been paranoid that he might be having an affair. But I could never have imagined something like this…

I tell myself that Max couldn’t hurt anyone. He’s a family man now, different to who he was before.

And besides, I can’t go to the police anyway. Because if I do, I’m scared they’ll suspect me…

How did my husband know the girl in room 12? And when the truth comes out, just how far am I prepared to go to protect my precious family?

A completely gripping thriller from bestselling author Kathryn Croft that will leave you breathless as you turn the pages. Fans of Lisa Jewell, K.L. Slater and Freida McFadden will be captivated by The Girl in Room 12.

I was so shocked… When I found out I was left totally speechless… It kept me entertained and not knowing who or what to trust. I love that.’ Blue Moon Blogger, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I t was a page turner,I really enjoyed myself. I knew from the onset who was suspect but usually writers use misdirection to add tension,then have a gotcha resolution at the end.This story however had a satisfying end to it.The story took a turn I had not anticipated ,so good job .I recommend the book.

First, I enjoyed the book. I like the author's style and the way she writes her books. No gratuitous violence or sex. I liked the ending ,it didn't leave you wondering WT??
Like so many authors seem to like to do now.
But,there were a couple of things that just seemed totally implausible. Without giving too much away, nobody would just leave "that" under the couch cushion, just so it could be "found" . It would have been demolished or thrown in the nearest lake.
Second what very young person would have such a sophisticated camera and know how to operate it?? And who would develop it? (It was clearly called a camera not a phone.)And who would open a hotel door without asking who is there, or checking the peek hole.?? Especially under the circumstances?? Wouldn't happen.!! Otherwise liked the story,surprised even myself by figuring out the killer very soon on almost never happens. Will still read her other books as I like the way she tells a story.

I was about 50 pages in and realized that I was not overly fond of the setting/audible but after I was already in the story, I needed to finish it. I was invested! Hannah, Sarah, Alice, Taylor/Shane, Cole, Katy, and the man in the silver Golf - just kept me going so I could see what happened and who was behind this gripping and horrible crime and turn of events.

The twists just kept coming with this one. Author did a good job of making me suspect more than one character as the villain - I didn’t get it right! Good read.

OMG! What did I just read! This book kept me up late, late trying to figure out "who did it". Hannah, Max and 5 year old Poppy have the perfect life. Or do they? Alice, a young woman, killed in a hotel just up the road from Max and Hannah. Hannah finds a hotel key to Room 12, in husband's coat pocket. Hannah's world is turned upside down! Just when I thought I had it figured out, Boom! Another big twist!! This is one book you don't want to miss!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great and gripping psychological thriller
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2024

I really enjoyed this book. It seemed a little slow to start with, but in retrospect this was a good thing, as it gave time to get to know all the characters. This meant that as the story gathered pace I cared about and was intrigued by the actions of those characters. Kept me guessing all the way through, but I was right to be very suspicious of two of the characters. I’d never read anything by this author before, but having finished this book, I’m already downloading the next one.

Enjoy this book! It will keep you reading all the way through. However, no need for trigger warning which panders to the increasingly shut down and taboo conversations seen on social media and plays into neuroticism of our time.

THE GIRL IN ROOM 12

Another steadily paced, yet still dramatic novel by Croft.

The steady pace really helps to submerge you into its gripping storyline.

Full of twists I was hooked to this intriguing story.

Croft had thrown in so many red herrings into this, making it unique and completely unpredictable.

I loved it !!

Definitely a five star read that I highly recommend.

Convoluted with many twists and turns, characters acting on whims, and an ending that had to be explained rather than happening organically.
