Amazing book finished in 5 days. Couldn’t put it down. The twist and turns of events and the amazing writing of the author makes this book incredible.

Lisa Jewell knows how to write a taut book. It’s so easy to be pulled along by the narrative. With any mystery you know that things are not likely to be what they seem and the twists here deliver a punch even if you think you know what some of the answers are.
I both read and listened to the audiobook for this one, having received early and ARC and an ALC, and both are great, but the audiobook is really spectacular because of all the different mediums referenced in the book.
It is a very disturbing read and not everything comes to a satisfying end, but it’s a hell of a ride.
