I wanted to like this book since I heard it was good! I didn't read past chapter 13 and decided I couldn't finish it. It was hard to get into and wasn't really keeping my attention :( This is my first book from Lisa Jewell, hopefully some…

Definitely kept me guessing until the very end. Jewell's stories are always so mysterious and intriguing. This one was so sad and dark.

I found it a took me a bit long to get into it. Lots of different story lines, and liked the viewpoints from the different characters. Enjoyed it.

I liked all the plot twists leading to the end. But this book did take a bit to get to the point. I also wasn't too fond of the 'working up towards an affair I have mixed feelings on this one.

I can't make up my mind about this book. At times I liked the psychological aspects of the characters. At other times I had no patience. There are so many perspectives plus the police interviews that it is difficult to know what is…

This story is full of suspense. Plenty of characters with plenty of motives. It's a classic whodunit plot where there's a dead body at the beginning, the investigation ensues, plenty of characters are introduced with plenty of baggage and…

I am a big Lisa Jewell fan and this book was no exception.

I absolutely loved this book. In the beginning, it was a little hard to get into, but it really picks up speed and I enjoyed the characters and storyline a lot. I found myself making a :O face on multiple pages, and some of the plot and…

I managed to read this whole book but I found the characters confusing. How did they all fit together? The second half of the book is more exciting then the first half. Wasn't crazy about the story line but some mystery to it. Still…

I love her books. This was a good read, but I preferred some of her other books better. Still enjoyed it and at certain parts kept me turning the page and wanting more. Overall I would recommend.

I’m usually a big fan of Jewel’s work but this one fell flat for me. All of the characters were so unlikable and the story really didn’t have much pull to it. It wasn’t bad, but it was really easy to put down and forget about.

I read this a while ago and must have forgotten to add it to my shelves. This is one of the more darker Lisa Jewell books. The ending of this one really did creep me out.

An interesting read but I think the author really got carried away trying to explain everything in the last chapter.

If you like the novels Girl on a Train and Sharp Objects, then you will like this one. It is an entertaining thriller but plot is not unique and Desperate Housewives-ish.

The farther I read into the book the more I liked it. It is worth finishing just to understand the epilogue. I was stunned by the epilogue.

I've read about 4 Lisa Jewell novels and found only this one to be disappointing. It was very contrived and repetitive and quite dull. Even the twist was just meh...

It was ok. I felt for a small village there were just too many weird characters.

Headmaster the schoolgirls crush on. Married ,immature neighbor neighbor obsessed with headmaster, living with bro & pregnant sister in law. This is the 2nd book by Jewell I've read. Don't need to read more.

I listened to this on Libby. The narrator was great and the story was well paced and well acted. Lisa Jewell provided a great story with convincing characters and also interwove intelligent portrayals of marriages, child development, and…

The more I read this book, the more I got into it and really liked it. It proves once again that Lisa Jewell is a master at her craft. Do NOT hesitate in picking up one of her thrillers. I love how everything comes together at the end!
