Lisa Jewell has written another perfect thriller. Three timelines woven masterfully together, a mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat, and characters who feel REAL. She is a must-read author for me!!

i really liked “the family upstairs” so i thought to read another of lisa jewel’s books. although this one was really good, i liked the other one better. the ending didn’t surprised me that much, but i didn’t expect it either.
