Kirsty's fresh start in the Welsh mountains turns into a nightmare when her past resurfaces, leading to suspenseful revelations in Do Not Disturb.
In Do Not Disturb, the story unfolds as Kirsty seeks a fresh start in the picturesque Welsh mountains after a traumatic experience in London. She envisions running a guesthouse with her family, hoping to escape the shadows of her past. However, her dreams are shattered when an unexpected guest arrives, bringing with her a whirlwind of memories and unresolved tensions. Selena, a figure from Kirsty’s past, reemerges after 17 long years, and her presence raises unsettling questions that threaten to disrupt the peace Kirsty desperately craves.
As Kirsty grapples with the implications of Selena's return, the narrative delves into themes of trust, betrayal, and the complexities of friendship. The tension escalates as Kirsty begins to suspect that Selena may not be the person she once knew. Is Selena seeking redemption, or is there a more sinister motive behind her visit? The atmosphere grows increasingly fraught as Kirsty realizes that inviting someone from her past into her home could have dire consequences.
Do Not Disturb is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the idea that sometimes, the places we seek refuge in can become the most dangerous. With each twist and turn, readers are left questioning the nature of trust and the lengths to which one will go to protect their family. This page-turner is a chilling reminder that home can sometimes be where the hurt is.
