The New York Times bestselling author of The Monogram Murders and Woman with a Secret returns with a sharp, captivating, and expertly plotted tale of psychological suspense.All Beth has to do is drive her son to his soccer game, watch him play, and then return home. Just because she knows her ex-best friend lives near the field, that doesn’t mean she has to drive past her house and try to catch a glimpse of her. Why would Beth do that and risk dredging up painful memories? She hasn’t seen Flora for twelve years. She doesn’t want to see her today—or ever again. But she can’t resist. She parks outside the open gates of Newnham House, watches from across the road as Flora arrives and calls to her children Thomas and Emily to get out of the car. Except . . . There’s something terribly wrong. Flora looks the same, only older. Twelve years ago, Thomas and Emily were five and three years old. Today, they look precisely as they did then. They are Thomas and Emily without a doubt, but they haven’t changed at all. They are no taller, no older. Why haven’t they grown? How is it possible that they haven’t grown up?

"It was fine. I was able to put it down and come back so it wasn’t an attention grabbing one but still entertaining. It’s very outlandish but I know that’s what makes for a good book. Two old friends loose touch so one friend decides to do a drive by 12 years later and sees her old friend with her two kids.. that haven’t aged in 12 years. Fast forward to the end. Flora got pregnant even though her husband didn’t want another baby. The baby was born with some complications so the husband killed the baby and promised to punish flora forever for having an unwanted baby. He forced her to live in their old house and have 2 more children with the same name as their wanted children without her seeing her older children for the rest of her life. She had to cut off contact with everyone so they’d never know. Flora blamed herself for getting her youngest child killed so went with his plan. In the end, the old friend finds all this out shoots the husband in “self defense”."

"The audiobook got me through an 8 hour roadtrip and had me hanging on every word! Pretty quick-paced for a mystery but still took the time to build up the suspense!"
