The Girls

Lisa Jewell2016
Dark secrets, a devastating mystery and the games people play: the gripping new novel from the bestselling author of The House We Grew Up In and The Third Wife. 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 thirteen-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.

Not the best Lisa Jewell book but some interesting characters. The end felt a little rushed.

It’s such a shame that this one was only 2 stars after enjoying a couple of her other books so much. I considered DNF’ing this one a couple of times and I even saw the ending coming which never happens when I’m reading thrillers.
