A mystery bordering on creepy. I didn't like the way she ended it - seemed like a cop out.

This probably my favourite Lisa Jewell book to date. Deals with modern issues and kept me in suspense to the very end.

Adults as well as teens hold secrets in this communal style housing development. Quite an ending.

The story was interesting but I struggled to picture the communal garden at the heart of this story. Some of the character name choices were a little jarring. There was a bizarre phrase ‘Irish twin’ which I have never heard before but I…

Not sure how I felt about this one. It was a page turner for sure as there could be so many suspects and I just wanted to get to the end to see who hurt Grace. I felt a bit uncombortable with what the children were doing at 12 and 13 years…

Another Lisa Jewell page-turner. I think I'm getting spoiled by too many shocking plot twists in other books I've read recently, so I wasn't as impressed with this one, or rather, found it a bit anti-climactic. But I still couldn't put it…

This is a fun female-centered twisty mystery. Fun for those who enjoy the genre!

Having waited so long for this one, I was very disappointed. The library limits its lending to 2 rather than the usual 3 weeks. I see there is a long list of requests; however, I don't see why it is so popular - perhaps with teens or…

This book is terrible, I just could not get into it. I would dread reading it, so I finally gave up on Chapter 5.

This book has both good and bad sides, but I think that overall it was a good book to read. The good side of the book is the characters and the drama. I found some of the characters likable and interesting, like Pip, Gordon, Leo, and…

I found the ending to be a bit of a let down.

You'll never guess who did it.

The Girls In the Garden is an intriguing, claustrophobic thriller which takes place in a garden community in London. The beautiful garden, set in the centre of a row of terrace houses provids lots of freedom for the children who live…

The moment I read the inside cover of this book I was intrigued. The setting reminded me of my own neighbourhood but the characters couldn't be farther from that of my own neighbors. I was interested to read on, meet everyone living on the…

Ever since I read a blurb about this title I have been excited to read it. Well, I finally did and it definitely did not disappoint. In fact, I read it in just one day! The interesting cast of characters, the picturesque setting that was…

This was a good read. A bit of a mystery with some good characters and very well told.

Words cannot explain to you how much I loved this book. It is a beautifully crafted suspense/family drama/physiological thriller. Thank you so much to Netgalley and Atria Books for allowing me an advanced copy to read and review. So let's…
