Story4.5 out of 5 stars 242
Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England. It’s the sort of place where doctors and lawyers and old-money academics live. It’s not the sort of place where people get stabbed in the back 30 times with a kitchen knife in their own homes. Someone must have seen something. Newlywed Joey Mullen, for example, recently returned from four years of working in Ibiza. She and her husband, Alfie, are eager to find a place of their own in her hometown. But Joey finds herself distracted by the man next door, Tom Fitzwilliam.

In the early hours of a summer morning, a young woman steps into the path of an oncoming bus. A tragic accident? Or suicide? At the center of this puzzle is Adrian Wolfe, a successful architect and grief-stricken widower, who, a year after his third wife's death, begins to investigate the cause. As Adrian looks back on their brief but seemingly happy marriage, disturbing secrets begin to surface. The divorces from his two previous wives had been amicable, or so it seemed; his children, all five of them, were resilient as ever, or so he thought.

Delightful
Lets start by saying I don’t do romance. I’m not sure these books would even qualify in that category, which is a good thing, in my opinion. This author has the talent and reminds me a bit of Liane Moriarty..She tells the story of a mother with 2 girls, living on her own without her husband. I’ll let you read to find out why. Anyhow they move to this small community where everyone seems friendly. She tries to fit in, although trying to keep a bit of distance due to her private life. The girls also make friends, but soon, you see some cracks beginning to form among some of the people. A big event also occurs, which happens towards the end, but is very well written into the beginning of the book with just a hint of what is to come. . Great writer and narrator.

This fell very short
This had so much potential to be great a book. However about halfway through I realized I had been duped and kept praying it would get better. The ending sealed the deal for me. The ending made no sense and left me asking "What about this?" "Why did you bring that up if it had nothing to do with anything apparently ?!" It's been a while I have been so disappointed with a book. Skip this one if you can.

Not as good as some of her others but still worth
...a listen. If you haven't read Lisa Jewel before, I'd suggest The House We Grew Up In or The Making of Us before this one. Both are on audio and are 4.5 star listens IMHO.
I did enjoy this, nonetheless. It just seemed as if her usual stellar character development and ability to put a mystery into the middle of a family drama story was a bit lacking.
The audio narrator was also a bit of an issue. Because there were so many POV switches, the narrator should have paused between them. She didn't--at ALL. So we're in one person's head then it switches to another person's POV and sometimes it took a few seconds to realize. Not that big of a deal except for the fact that the POV switches are quite frequent.

Disappointing ending
Was excited to read this book as I thoroughly enjoy this authors other works. However the plot was predictable, the guilty not only got away with it but were somewhat rewarded, and it left me being dissatisfied with the ending.
