Loved it so much
Wow, what a mysterious, and captivating tale! Lisa Jewell truly shines with this book. This book delves into the complexities of family dynamics and hidden truths.It unfolds through the eyes of three characters: Libby, Henry, and Lucy, across two different time periods.On Libby's 25th birthday, she receives a letter revealing the identity of her birth parents and her inheritance of their grand mansion in an upscale London neighbourhood. The story takes place in England and France, where twenty-five years earlier, a baby and three deceased adults were discovered in the same mansion. The mystery deepens as the fate of the other residents, including children, remains unknown. Was it suicide, murder, or something more sinister? The secrets of the mansion were waiting to be uncovered.I found it difficult to write a review of this book as if I delve more into it I might just spoil the whole book, right? And also because the real gem of this book lies in the intriguing mystery that unravels with each page as you read it. It's true for almost all thrillers or murder mysteries. With each page turn, I found myself engrossed in the story and completed this book in no time.The book's three different POVs gave me amazing reading experience. Along with the short chapters, I struggled to set the book aside. I was eager to see how the characters' story arcs intertwined in the conclusion. I was captivated by each of their stories and found them incredibly intriguing.It was my first novel by Lisa Jewell and I am really glad I picked it up. Her writing style is amazing and quirky and I loved it so much. I'll delve into more of her works now.I recommend you pick this one up if you're craving a twisted thriller and you won't be disappointed.*Also please check for TWs in the book.*
