PREPARE TO BE HOOKED
FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF INVISIBLE GIRL
In a large house in London's fashionable Chelsea, a baby is awake in her cot. Well-fed and cared for, she is happily waiting for someone to pick her up.
In the kitchen lie three decomposing corpses. Close to them is a hastily scrawled note.
They've been dead for several days.
Who has been looking after the baby?
And where did they go?
Two entangled families.
A house with the darkest of secrets.
A compulsive thriller from Lisa Jewell.

thrilling mystery
I loved it so very much, almost always on the edge of my seat. I will say it is a very emotionally heavy book definitely not for the light-hearted reader. Amazingly written, the author definitely has talent!

Brilliant Story
The story itself was very compelling & well written. It’s interesting how things turned out. The story had no real loose ends, which often happens with mysteries that jump back and forth in time.
The narrator for Lucy’s chapters voiced the 12yo boy like he was a surly dwarf, which was distracting. And her American male accent for Michael was annoyingly bad as well. I’m finding more and more that English narrators can’t do American accents for shit.
For Libby’s chapters, I didn’t like Miller’s accent or voice either. And the male narrator for Henry’s chapters made Martina seem like a European drag queen in my head.
I’m still new to audio books and I get annoyed with the non-English accents done by English narrators, and when the men do female voices. It just takes me right out of it.
Other than those annoying voices, the narrators were very good though. They are good voice actors and read well. It’s just those particular character voices...

Great thriller
Loved listening to this whilst laying in bed with Covid. The suspense, the voices of the different characters, the story all perfectly captured my attention.

Enjoyed!
Uncomfortably fantastic!
Really enjoyed this story, while I squirmed at times at the plights, delights, morals and discoveries of these characters, it was wholly relatable.
A deep dive into human nature, accountability and what we are all capable of.... if pushed.
