Imagine that 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 neighbors for years and you trust them.
Implicitly. You think your
children are safe. But are they really?
On a midsummer night, as a festive neighborhood party is
taking place, preteen
Pip discovers her thirteen-year-old sister Grace lying
unconscious and bloody in
a hidden corner of a lush rose garden. What really happened
to her? And who is
responsible?
Dark secrets, a devastating mystery, and the games both
children and adults play
all swirl together in this gripping novel, packed with
utterly believable
characters and page-turning suspense. Fans of Liane Moriarty
and Jojo Moyes will
be captivated by The Girls, the next unforgettable novel by
New York Times
bestselling author Lisa Jewell.
