This book was so entertaining. When it comes to thrillers, I love red herrings! When an author does it right then I quickly add them to my new release watchlist. Lisa Jewell is an excellent writer and her books never disappoint when it comes to red herrings. I always swoop up her new books as soon as they come out. I was thrilled to receive this last week from Book of the Month before its actual release date in the US (October 13, 2020).
In this book, a girl goes missing and we try to surmise what has happened to her and how. That's not a spoiler, it's actually what the book about. The story is thrilling and is told from the perspectives of three different characters and alcohol fog might make their POV of a few scenes a little hazy. If you're like me, you'll find yourself yelling at them as you read along because the things they do seem incredibly stupid! I've come to realize that these types of characters end up leading to my most satisfied reading experiences!
I really want to visit the UK so something cool about this book is that the area of Hampstead is almost like a character in the book. I even found myself cracking open Google maps to see if I could figure out the lay of the land as the characters moved about.
I would definitely recommend this book to domestic thriller fans.
