One of People's, Glamour's, and BuzzFeed's Best Reads of Summer, from the New York Times bestselling author of None of This Is True"Jewell expertly builds suspense by piling up domestic misunderstandings and more plot twists than an SVU episode. It's a page-turner for readers who like beach reads on the dark side." --People"Faithful to the thriller genre, Jewell makes liberal use of red herrings and plot twists... The answer to the whodunit is a sly--and satisfying--surprise." --The New York Times Imagine that you live on a picturesque communal garden square, an oasis in urban London where your children run free, in and out of other people's houses. You've known your neighbors for years and you trust them. Implicitly. You think your children are safe. But are they really? On a midsummer night, as a festive neighborhood party is taking place, preteen Pip discovers her thirteen-year-old sister Grace lying unconscious and bloody in a hidden corner of a lush rose garden. What really happened to her? And who is responsible?
I opened this book after 10pm and before 4am I was finished. I read the whole book that’s how good it was. The writing style is much Ike Liane Moriarty. Quick, like a fast talking freind. They all live in apartments that from the back is an in closed garden. Everyone knows and sees everything and many have lived there forever. You quickly understand these people, the children. It’s like you live there and are watching it all unfold. Lisa Jewell is now my favorite author. I’ve read her and have always enjoyed the story but this one I would not let go of till I turned the last page. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book. Hope u enjoy it as much as I did
