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 13-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.

Liked the story and the character development. Really felt like I knew the families involved. It kept me interested throughout.
The ending was a bit lack-lustre though. I’m not a huge fan of when things feel left unresolved, but I can see why it was done that way.
Narration was really good!

A good story but a slightly ‘meh’ ending

All a bit meh

Very gripping thriller with a lot of mystery and intrigue.
The story centred around a group of children some of whom seemed wise beyond their years.
The author lead you up a lot of paths before the true answers were revealed.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable book.

As usual, the characterisation and scene setting were great. I love this author’s style - no heavy prose or over embellishments. The story was simple but kept me guessing until the end. A great read.
