5 stars!
Another winner from a favourite author of mine!
I loved everything about this book! The school campus setting, dual narrative timelines, an old crumbling mansion, secret tunnels, complex and unique characters, long buried secrets and a multitude of clues that kept my curiosity piqued from start to finish.
I’m a huge fan of Lisa Jewell and I’m happy to report she created another brilliant, thrilling, mysterious, suspenseful and unputdownable story. I always find myself hanging on every word she writes - this novel was even better than I had hoped!
I loved the atmosphere, the tension-filled sense of foreboding and suspense. It took me a few chapters to get into the groove of switching between narrative timelines because they are only 2 years apart, but it wasn’t something that took away from my enjoyment.
Needless to say, this is a must read! Run and grab your copy now!

Glad you loved this, Lindsay! I enjoyed, but it wasn't a favorite. Looking forward to your thoughts.
I don't think I can bear a tale of kidnapping. It sounds more "thriller" than "mystery". On the other hand, secret passageways, cool houses, and clues excite me! If I see this used at a bargain, your well-conveyed appreciation might be temping me outside my zone....
Carolyn, this definitely is thriller-ish, but I think it would be a great one for you to try out if you find a good deal. She is a “go-to” author for me - I really “click” with her writing and love her unique and shocking storylines.
Lindsay - Etc, wrote:"Needless to say, this is a must read! Run and grab your copy now!"So being a bloke married for 54 years, I made like a smacked bum and did as I was told - this book is now on my "Want To Read" shelf. However, today I will move it to my "Currently Reading" shelf because of your enthusiastic review, Lindsay😄!
Oh I’m so excited for you Terry! I’ll be watching for your thoughts. (I really hope my enthusiasm didn’t overhype it for you. 🤞🏻). Happy reading!!
I think I am hearing that it is not as violent or disburbing as the average thriller and does add a mystery vibe? I have seen Lisa's name and it scares me, haha. However she takes a different tack here, doesn't she? A good one for me to peek behind my hand and try!
Carolyn - you’re exactly right! More of a mystery vibe to it than violent and gory thrillers. I think it would be a great one for you to try - I’d be so curious to see what you think!
Lisa Jewell sure does know how to string words together, doesn't she?! Glad to see this was a 5-star read for you Lindsay! xo
