From Little Stack

If you love a thriller, chances are you’ll love Lisa Jewell or you will come across her at the very least, and her latest showstopper begs to be read under the summer sun! Jane Trevally is newly divorced and, feeling a little lost, agrees to accompany a man she doesn't know to his house in the darkest corner of Hampstead Heath. She's offered a drink and goes in… and then hears a scream. Sensing she’s in a bad place, she runs. 

Twenty five years later, she finds herself outside the same house, this time to return a dog whose owner has just been reported missing. Upon seeing a glimpse of a haunted looking woman upstairs, Jane makes it her mission to uncover the secrets of this house. Dark, addictive and unsettling, you won’t want to put it down!

Publisher Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone Lisa Jewell, two women's lives converge in a house containing devastating secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Jane Trevally is walking her dogs on her country estate when a small white terrier appears, alone and with no sign of the teenaged girl he’d been staying with nearby. When the teenager is reported missing, Jane offers to return the dog to his registered owner, hours away in London.

Arriving at a run-down house called Thornwood in the deepest backwaters of Hampstead, she is immediately on alert—because Jane has a dark history with this house. The man who answers the door is not the man that Jane remembers from her past. He is cagey, and claims to know nothing about the missing teenage girl. Then, through the window of the house, Jane catches a glimpse of a haunted-looking woman.

Conjuring her memories from twenty-five years ago, Jane knows this unsettling house holds the key—to the missing teenager, to her own traumatic story, and to the dark secrets of the past.
