The instant New York Times and #1 Sunday Times
bestselling author of the “riveting thriller”
(PopSugar) Then She Was Gone delivers another
suspenseful page-turner about a shocking murder in a
picturesque and well-to-do English town, perfect “for fans
of Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and Luckiest
Girl Alive” (Library Journal).
Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in
Bristol, England; home to doctors and lawyers and old-money
academics. It’s not the sort of place where people are
brutally murdered in their own kitchens. But it is the sort
of place where everyone has a secret. And everyone is
watching you.
As the headmaster credited with turning around the local
school, Tom Fitzwilliam is beloved by one and all—including
Joey Mullen, his new neighbor, who quickly develops an
intense infatuation with this thoroughly charming yet
unavailable man. Joey thinks her crush is a secret, but
Tom’s teenaged son Freddie—a prodigy with aspirations of
becoming a spy for MI5—excels in observing people and has
witnessed Joey behaving strangely around his father.
One of Tom’s students, Jenna Tripp, also lives on the same
street, and she’s not convinced her teacher is as squeaky
clean as he seems. For one thing, he has taken a particular
liking to her best friend and fellow classmate, and Jenna’s
mother—whose mental health has admittedly been deteriorating
in recent years—is convinced that Mr. Fitzwilliam is
stalking her.
Meanwhile, twenty years earlier, a schoolgirl writes in her
diary, charting her doomed obsession with a handsome young
English teacher named Mr. Fitzwilliam…
In Lisa Jewell’s latest brilliant “bone-chilling suspense”
(People) no one is who they seem—and everyone is
hiding something. Who has been murdered—and who would have
wanted one of their neighbors dead? As “Jewell teases out
her twisty plot at just the right pace” (Booklist,
starred review), you will be kept guessing until the
startling revelation on the very last page.
