About this listen
A true-crime fanatic uncovers a nefarious secret when she takes a peculiar cat-sitting assignment in this chilling suspense novel from the author of Peter Miles Has to Die.

Annie’s life is going nowhere—she’s in her thirties and getting by with cat-sitting jobs. While her clients head off on exotic beach holidays, Annie is left scooping litter and wondering how she ended up as the spectator in other people’s lives. Her one sliver of excitement is Cuppa Crime, a true crime podcast with an active online forum where she obsessively dissects murder mysteries with other fans. That is until a new client, Zoe, reaches out to book Annie’s services.

Zoe is aloof and mysterious, and she seems intent on keeping it that way. She gives Annie access to her glamourous house and handwritten instructions on how to look after her darling cat, Hades—all without meeting, or speaking, in person. Soon into the gig, Annie is vicariously living through the client she’s never met, her imagination running wild with the possibilities of inhabiting another life.

And yet something feels wrong about the house. It’s not just the closed-off room Annie is explicitly forbidden from entering. When odd souvenirs begin to pop up in Zoe’s home—souvenirs that seem connected to ongoing murder investigations—Annie suspects that there may be a more sinister side to her client.

Is it all in Annie’s head, the product of too much true crime and an overactive imagination? Or are her instincts on point? Because the number one rule of Cuppa Crime is "trust your gut." And if Annie’s gut is telling her anything, it’s that her cat-sitting client is a serial killer.

Critic Reviews

Praise for The Terrarium

"For lovers of cats, podcasts, and the insides of other people's homes, The Terrarium is a relatable thriller about the gig economy gone wrong. I was so excited to see what (or who) was kept inside those glass cages that I finished it in a single day. Twisty, fun, and a little scary."—Tasha Coryell, author of Love Letters to a Serial Killer

“Delightful, dark fun.”—Kelly Mullen, author of This Is Not a Game


Praise for Katie Collom’s Peter Miles Has to Die


“In her riveting debut, Katie Collom explores what we owe the ones we love and how ordinary life can change in an instant. I couldn’t put down this thriller and was stunned by a plot twist that was a complete shock and yet made perfect sense.”—Amanda Eyre Ward, New York Times bestselling author of The Jetsetters

“Peter Miles Has to Die is a high-stakes thriller that asks what we’re willing to risk in order to get revenge. This twisty story of female friendship had me on the edge of my seat from the first page.”—Shea Ernshaw, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A History of Wild Places

“A superb read . . . dark, twisty, clever, and worth every moment . . . What starts as a revenge story grows into a deep and unsettling look into the eyes of abuse, and asks the age-old question, Does an eye for an eye ever truly bring closure?”—J. T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of Last Seen

“A character-rich tale of revenge exploring the dark and fierce loyalty that binds women. . . . You won’t see the clever ending coming.”—Julia Heaberlin, internationally bestselling author of We Are All the Same in the Dark
