Resumen del Editor

New York Times and number-one Sunday Times best-selling author and “brilliant storyteller” (Shelf Awareness, starred review) Lisa Jewell weaves another suspenseful thriller about a shocking murder in a picturesque and well-to-do English town, perfect for fans of Big Little Lies.

Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England. It’s the sort of place where doctors and lawyers and old-money academics live. It’s not the sort of place where people get stabbed in the back 30 times with a kitchen knife in their own homes.

Someone must have seen something.

Newlywed Joey Mullen, for example, recently returned from four years of working in Ibiza. She and her husband, Alfie, are eager to find a place of their own in her hometown. But Joey finds herself distracted by the man next door, Tom Fitzwilliam. He’s the principal of the local high school, twice her age, and devastatingly attractive. What starts as an innocent infatuation soon escalates into fixation, and before long, Joey can’t keep her eyes off of Tom.

Or the principal’s son, Freddie, who dreams of working as a spy and has been developing his surveillance skills by keeping meticulous logs of the coming and goings in the area. And, as he approaches his 15th birthday, his attention - and his lens - are turning more and more toward the local women.

Or perhaps single mother Frances Tripp, who has long been convinced she is being stalked. Her teenage daughter, Jenna, is worried these delusions are signs of her mother’s deteriorating mental health, particularly now that her paranoia has found a specific target: Tom Fitzwilliam. Frances is determined to keep an eye on him until she can prove he is behind her persecution.

Twenty years earlier, a schoolgirl writes in her diary, charting her doomed obsession with a handsome young English teacher named Mr. Fitzwilliam.

Nobody knows why this horrific murder was committed, but someone in Melville Heights knows who did it. As the community’s fearful eyes turn on each other, the question remains:

Great writing and narrating

One of my favorites in a while. The performance was superb. Perfect tempo and dramatic reading of the story. Well written story too.

Tough to get into...

The beginning is tough to get into, I started and stopped this book a couple times. I finally started over to give one more try. Overall it was a ok story after I was able to get into and keep track of characters.

Keeps you guessing until the end!

Enjoyable! It takes a bit to get into the book but once you do it's very good. I was not surprised to hear that Tammy Hoag mixed this production because I'm a huge Tammy Hoag fan!

Suspenseful

Fascinating!

Never boring, suspenseful and keeps you guessing until the end. Great story, and great performance.

Absolute Genius.

The final revelation in the words of the final plot twist were completely unexpected and completed an absolutely masterful ending.
