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.

Brilliantly creepy
I loved this atmospheric tale of a creepy house and family generations. Wonderfully separate but interwoven plot.

Slow start but builds.
Was slow to start but builds beautifully to a thrilling end. Very sad in many ways.

Left me wanting more.
I really enjoyed this book, I loved the characters they were very well written. I felt like it could have continued longer as it was like there was more to the story that could have unfolded. Definitely left me wanting more.
