I'm so happy this is my first Jennifer McMahon because I'll definitely be checking out more of her backlist! Also wanted to add that the trigger warnings I listed might be considered spoilers so you might not wanna look at those if you wanna be completely caught off guard.

Violet is precocious and wants to know more so she starts to snoop around to see what she can find about Iris. She stops taking the “shakes” her gran makes, convinced she and Iris are being drugged. When she starts digging she finds she may not know her gran at all.
In the current timeline Lizzy is investigating a missing person case. She travels the world searching for monsters for her podcast. It’s clear from the start Lizzy is connected with the children, but not how.
The book was a little slowed paced for me.
