I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Bantam and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
Welcome to Stanhope - a safe neighbourhood. A place for families.
William Wooler is a family man, on the surface. But he's been having an affair, an affair that ended horribly this afternoon at a motel up the road. So when he returns to his house, devastated and angry, to find his difficult nine-year-old daughter Avery unexpectedly home from school, William loses his temper.
Hours later, Avery's family declares her missing.
Suddenly Stanhope doesn't feel so safe. And William isn't the only one on his street who's hiding a lie. As witnesses come forward with information that may or may not be true, Avery's neighbours become increasingly unhinged.
Who took Avery Wooler?
Nothing will prepare you for the truth.
My Opinion
This is a great, suspenseful thriller. The title is very fitting, but what is everyone lying about? This isn't the first book I have read by Shari Lapena so I predicted that this was going to make for an enjoyable read. I liked the way that the reader knows more about what is happening in Stanhope than the characters. A fast-paced novel that will keep you on your toes.
Rating 4/5
