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 and Captivating story

Captivating and Thrilling story of a family and some more people. Finished it in a few hours binge listening. The story was good, however some scenes could have been more descriptive instead of being just told briefly.

Massively overhyped

Overhyped. Can’t say the plot is predictable but the twists are meh. Too many loose ends & inconclusive threads...

Interesting plot

When I started I wasn't sure I'll enjoy this but I'm happily surprised. Overall story & having 3 different people's POV was used quite well. It felt predictable at times but still managed to keep me hooked. Would definitely consider reading more from Lisa Jewell.
