 I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Lisa Jewell does it again! At this point this is the FOURTH book I've rated five stars from her, so it's safe to say she rights a wicked thriller.

Tallulah and her boyfriend Zach (who have known each other their entire lives, but their relationship has secretly taken an abusive turn when Zach becomes angry and controlling) go missing, seemingly without a trace and leaving their one-year-old son behind, and a year later new evidence just happens to show up that will crack the case wide open.

I felt like I was RACING through this. The pace moves so quickly it almost made me anxious at times. I read this every chance I could get and truly loved the experience. This will be a winner for most anyone who loves a thriller!

One of her best books to date, a truly gripping thriller, that had me on the edge of my seat wanting more. Was slightly predictable in places but personally it worked.

Lisa Jewell has written another perfect thriller. Three timelines woven masterfully together, a mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat, and characters who feel REAL. She is a must-read author for me!!

i really liked “the family upstairs” so i thought to read another of lisa jewel’s books. although this one was really good, i liked the other one better. the ending didn’t surprised me that much, but i didn’t expect it either.
