When Libby turns 25 she discovers that she has inherited a mansion that sits along the River Thames. The house belonged to her birth parents who were found dead, in what looked like a suicide pact, when she was just 10 months old. Libby now has a whole bunch of family secrets & lies to uncover and two siblings to find who have been deemed ‘missing’ since their parents were found 24 years before! 

This book was brilliant! It’s the first Lisa Jewell I have read but I loved it so I’m going to have to pick up some others! I could not put this down it was so gripping! There were so many twists and turns that just when I thought I had figured something out the story took a whole new path!! Definitely recommend if you love a thriller!!!
