I actually screamed when I saw the email from NetGalley offering me the chance to read and review this book. As a long time fan of Lisa’s, right from buying Ralph’s Party on publication, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on her latest.

In 2017, teenage mother Tallulah goes out to the pub one Friday night, leaving her baby son at home with her mum. She later gets in touch h with her mum to say that she is going back to a house with some friends. That house is called Dark Place and Tallulah is not seen or heard from again.....her boyfriend and father of her son also vanished that night and shortly after, the Jacques family who own Dark Place also leave town.
What happened that night, the night she disappeared? Her mum Kim is determined to find out.

In 2018, Sophie has just moved to the village when she enters her garden and sees a handwritten notice saying “Dig Here”, with an arrow pointing downwards. When she does, Sophie finds an engagement ring in a box. Why is it there, who does it belong to and why has it been buried?

Lisa masterfully builds up the story with suspense as the story moves between the timelines, allowing the reader to piece together the clues with Kim and Sophie.

I literally could not put this book down. Honestly, I think this is Lisa’s best book yet and my only regret is I now have longer to wait for her next one!

I love Lisa Jewell’s books & this was no exception. I really enjoyed it & will recommend it to others. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review this book.

It starts as a casual night in for Kim, babysitting her 1 year old grandson while her daughter, Tallulah, and her boyfriend enjoy a night on the town. Things take a dark turn however, when the young couple fail to return, leaving not a single trace behind.

I loved the concept of this one and the storyline was so gripping that I could not put it down! I did find the various different timelines a little bit confusing and the ending didn’t blow my mind, but it was a really enjoyable thriller.

This is a gripping novel about the harrowing disappearance of a young mother and her boyfriend the night of a party at her college friend's house.

The story is told in alternate flashback-present day and from the perspective of a novelist who comes to live in the village.

I hesitate to say more as the plot develops and each new event builds both the tension and the story. However the book is an excellent read and the reader is kept guessing until the very end.

Recommended for anyone interested in tense thrillers.
