Mystery
From the New York Times and internationally bestselling
author of The Secret Keeper and The Distant Hours, an
intricately plotted, spellbinding new novel of heartstopping
suspense and uncovered secrets. Living on her family’s idyllic lakeside estate in Cornwall,
England, Alice Edevane is a bright, inquisitive, innocent,
and precociously talented sixteen-year-old who loves to
write stories. But the mysteries she pens are no match for
the one her family is about to endure… One midsummer’s eve, after a beautiful party drawing
hundreds of guests to the estate has ended, the Edevanes
discover that their youngest child, eleven-month-old Theo,
has vanished without a trace. What follows is a tragedy that
tears the family apart in ways they never imagined. Decades later, Alice is living in London, having enjoyed a
long successful career as an author. Theo’s case has never
been solved, though Alice still harbors a suspicion as to
the culprit. Miles away, Sadie Sparrow, a young detective in
the London police force, is staying at her grandfather’s
house in Cornwall. While out walking one day, she stumbles
upon the old estate—now crumbling and covered with vines,
clearly abandoned long ago. Her curiosity is sparked,
setting off a series of events that will bring her and Alice
together and reveal shocking truths about a past long
gone...yet more present than ever. A lush, atmospheric tale of intertwined destinies, this
latest novel from a masterful storyteller is an enthralling,
thoroughly satisfying read.
