------------

Since losing her parents in a car crash as a teen, Allie has struggled to cope. Meeting Rory finally made things easier. She's come to rely on him for almost everything, so when he disappears while filming a documentary in the West of Ireland, she fears she'll come undone. Again.

Tap...

When a couple arrive at the Dublin apartment she and Rory share, claiming to be the new tenants, Allie is distraught. Why did Rory let out their home without telling her? And - where is he?

Tap-tap...

She seeks refuge at the run-down and reputedly haunted Raven Cottage in the Slieve Bloom mountains, where she and Rory were planning to move one day. Allie slowly starts to build a life for herself - and begins to believe that she might manage to make it alone.

Tap-tap-tap...

But then Rory's car is found submerged at the end of a pier, nowhere near where he was supposed to be - and the body in the driver's seat isn't his. Alison starts to revisit her memories of their time together, and begins to question if she can trust them...

A gripping, haunting thriller that will give you chills - perfect for fans of Tana French, Erin Kelly and Jane Casey.

Recenzii

Beautifully written . . . This dark tale never loses its grip - part mystery, part ghost story - with the terrified Allie at its heart. Best not to read it at night
A very accomplished novel
A brilliant, creepy, wonderfully written mystery that will keep you turning the pages until you have to get up and put all the lights on because you're scared out of your wits
An atmospheric, creepy, tense thriller - intriguing, haunting, and kept me guessing right till the end. I loved it. A sure-fire hit!
There Came A-Tapping is Andrea Carter at her best: a vulnerable protagonist who makes agonising choices, a rural community full of secrets, a satisfyingly baffling mystery and a plot that races along to a perfect conclusion
A sublime new standalone from a gifted writer. Scary and thrilling in equal nature, I was obsessed with finishing this book. A must read
Authentic, original, hauntingly atmospheric, and in parts just plain terrifying, There Came A-Tapping will keep you up all night! A brilliantly woven thriller, I couldn't put it down
Devoured this in two sittings. Wonderful evocation of a small village community and a hugely atmospheric mystery with a creeping sense of dread which builds to a satisfying, surprising conclusion. Not to be missed
Had me gripped from the start. Packed with atmosphere and an eerie claustrophobia, this story set in a small rural community is full of tension and a ratcheting sense of peril. I was fully invested in the story, and could picture every detail of Raven Cottage so perfectly I could have been there. Loved this!
An engaging read with a seemingly vulnerable but in the end surprisingly resilient character at its heart. Thoroughly enjoyable
An involving, pacy novel, full of intrigue. There Came-A-Tapping is an intelligent, modern exploration of the shocking history of misogyny and gender-based violence in Ireland
Since losing her parents in a car crash as a teen, Alison has struggled to cope. Meeting Rory finally made things easier. She's come to rely on him for almost everything, so when he disappears while filming a documentary in the West of Ireland, she fears she'll come undone. Again.

Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap.
What is that tapping noise she keeps hearing? Is the cottage really haunted? Is it the ravens the cottage is named after? Or could it be her own guilty conscience, beating like a tell-tale heart?
