Lisa Jewell is a British author of popular fiction.
This book is categorized under adult fiction, mystery and thrillers. At the end of each chapter I would want to continue with Libby’s search, yet when young Henry narrated I didn’t want that to end. In the Libby chapters you’ll read about her search for the older siblings, Henry and Lucy, as well as researching information on her socialite mother and well-to-do father, Martina and Henry Lamb. Libby’s brother Henry narrates the past story line and we get an inside view of the crazy scenarios in his childhood home. The story is told from different perspectives. I was intrigued from the beginning and found myself surprised by revelations in the book. The main setting is London but you have scenes in France as well. And the four other children reported to live at Cheyne Walk were gone. Downstairs in the kitchen lay three dead bodies, all dressed in black, next to a hastily scrawled note. When they arrived, they found a healthy ten-month-old happily cooing in her crib in the bedroom.
Twenty-five years ago, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk with reports of a baby crying. At the age of 25 she knows all will be revealed as she receives she long awaited letter and “inheritance.” Here is a blurb from the book description so you have the setup: Libby Jones knows she was adopted and also knows there was some controversy about her past and her birth parents. I was a little behind in my reading last month but I am getting back on track with two selections I received from NetGalley.įirst off – why have I not been reading Lisa Jewell’s novels before this?! I couldn’t put this book down.
