About this listen

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 thirteen-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.

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

Ok but not the best

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.

Predictable

Such a gripping story! But the ending… it was unfinished!! Why?! So many unanswered questions about so many of the characters. It feels like there should be a sequel explaining

Uhg the ending

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Great characters with twists and turns around every corner of their communal garden and lives

Fantastic
