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!

Fergus, Weaver of Autistic Webs Your five stars is all I need, Lindsay! TBR.


Meredith (Trying to catch up!) Glad you loved this, Lindsay! I enjoyed, but it wasn't a favorite. Looking forward to your thoughts.


Lindsay L Thanks Fergus and Meredith!!


CarolG Excellent review! I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did.


Michael David (on hiatus) Glad you loved it, Lindsay! Fantastic review!


Jayme C (Brunetteslikebookstoo) Fantastic review! I really enjoyed this one too!!


Susan  (on hiatus) Wonderful review Lindsay!🌺


Tina She's one of my faves too and I loved this one as well. A great review Linds!! 😊


C.  (Comment, don't blank click reviews). 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....


Lindsay L Thank you Carol, Michael, Jayme, Susan and Tina!


Lindsay L 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.

Terrie  Robinson Wonderful review, Lindsay! Glad you love everything about this one. That’s the best kind of read!


Terence M [on a brief semi-hiatus] 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😄!


Lindsay L Thank you Julie and Terrie!


Lindsay L 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!!


Holly  B Terrific review Lindsay!


Diane OLeary I liked this book a lot and enjoyed your review

Mary Beth Awesome review! 🌺 Glad you enjoyed it.


Lindsay L Thank you Holly, Diane and Mary Beth!


C.  (Comment, don't blank click reviews). 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!


Debra Terrific review, Lindsay!


message 25: by Christina (new)

Christina Great review, Lindsay.


Lindsay L 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!


Lindsay L Thank you Debra and Christina!


Regina 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


Lindsay L Yes she sure does Regina! Thanks so much!


Lindsay L So glad you enjoyed it Carolyn!!!


Jennifer (Jaye) Wonderful review Lindsay, bravo 💖💖💖


Lindsay L Thank you Jennifer!!! Hope you’re reading something you love!
