Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

You live on a picturesque communal garden square, an oasis in urban London where your children run free, in and out of other people's houses.

You've known your neighbours for years, and you trust them. Implicitly.

You think your children are safe.

But are they really?

Midsummer night: a 13-year-old girl is found unconscious in a dark corner of the garden square. What really happened to her? And who is responsible?

Utterly believable characters, a gripping story and a dark secret buried at its core: this is Lisa Jewell at her heart-stopping best.

Predictable

I have always loved Lisa’s books but this one was a little predictable … I was able to pick the villain early!
Still quite enjoyed it though.
Great narration.

Ok but not the best

This was the 7th Lisa jewel book I have read and although it was an ok story, it had none of the excitement and mystery of the others. It was a little boring

Not her best :(

Have been loving Lisa Jewell’s other books but found this one a bit obvious (missing the ‘who dunnit’ ending), and quite short. It felt like the book was written in a rush because it had been promised to be produced by a deadline. Moments of her trademark skilful writing but overall found this one a bit disappointing. Love this author, but suggest you pick other titles for better examples of her work.

Was okay

Not the best. Kept me listening but not much of an ending to have waited for.

Good at the start

Mysterious and interesting at the start, the build up to what happened was decent, but the resolution is just frustrating.
