He allows her entry, and so begins a mystery set in unprecedented times: with the virus raging outside their home, the girl cannot be asked to leave, but what does he risk by having her stay?

Story is nonsense.
Nobody waits for so long to report to the police about a suspiscious person.

Cuckoo!
Again I picked up this because of the short read and also because I wanted to try a new author. Turned out the author is Australian and the setting is Australia. Not my first Australian authour, but I have to confess that having read a whole lot of American and British authors, I'm not a great fan of Australian authors.
The storyline seems stretched, the premise interesting but not entirely believable due to the action of the characters involved. If someone does enter my family home ( after nearly 20 years ) with however much of a great reason, I would still do background checks irrespective of the compelling story they told me. Just unbelievable, the level of trust.
Just for this the story seems forced, and making the reader go through the entire unbelievable rigmarole that is laid bare. It's just a lot of verbiage that one has to go through while feeling uneasy at the back of the mind, knowing the strain of the story.
t was terrible, yet I felt compelled to see it through since I had already come this far.
