That’s why it’s important to reduce the bouncing of the sound from different surfaces. You can achieve that with the application of certain soundproofing techniques, including adding acoustic panels to your walls.I LOVED Gavin's POV. His was by far the strongest and the creepiest. His behaviour, as Linwood loved to say, "sent a chill down the length of my spine." A true villain. I am a tenant. Recently I had something happen from where I rent (an apartment) that didn’t make me happy. I moved into my place 4 months ago. I workout with weights and my unit is on the top floor. When I first went to the place to look and see if I wanted to live there, I asked the manager if I could workout with weights. She said it was OK as long as I don’t drop them.

I present your summer 2018 popcorn thriller- A Noise Downstairs! Seriously folks, this one is a must for your TBR if you are looking for a fast-paced story that is easily read in any setting and impossible to put down. I've been a fan of Linwood Barclay's writing for almost a decade now and find I have a Barclay shaped hole that only his books can fill each year. If you're new to his work, then know his writing style is very similar to Harlan Coben's, meaning there are usually many plot lines that start out removed from each other but are slowly brought together toward the end for the big reveal. This is a standalone, and is set away from the area most of his other books take place in, so it felt set apart in more ways than just not taking place in a series. I feel it was the perfect timing for the author to do so, as he's gone through a bit of a rebranding in the past year and clearly means to do so with a clean slate.
