Story
Meet Jessica Jones: retired superhero, private investigator, loner. She tried her best to be a shiny spandex crimefighter, but that life only led to unspeakable trauma. Now she avoids that world altogether and works on surviving day-to-day in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. The morning a distraught mother comes into her office, Jessica would prefer to nurse her hangover and try to forget last night’s poor choices. But something about Amber Randall’s story strikes a chord with her. Amber is adamant that something happened to her teenage twins while they were visiting their father in the UK.

Pretty good
Reviewed: 07-06-24
Interesting story and very different from Lisa’s usual approach but it never really grabbed me and it didn’t make any interesting twists. I wish I’d waited until it was available at the library and not spent an Audible credit on it.

The overall story had me interested from the get go and it didn’t slow down nor were the twists obvious at all. I really loved it and hope to find more like it. Good narration too!

Story
Photographer Isla Wilson is thrilled she's landed her dream job, but the clients who hired her are getting stranger by the day. It sounded so perfect—a month's assignment at the lush Scottish Highlands property of architect Alban McGregor, and his wife, Jessica. But in the woods, there's a playhouse with a chilling history. Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.

An interesting and solid story that’s also well told. It’s different from what the author normally writes and is just as enjoyable.

It’s good but not the best one in the series. Definitely worth buying but keep your expectations in check.

A thorough and heartfelt journey
Reviewed: 05-10-23
The author, once again takes us on a verbal journey through different times and places while giving the reader the experience of being right next to the family or individual who’s life and situation is unfolding. This is a very interesting and informative novel that I highly recommend to everyone, and I do mean everyone because it will show you people, places, and life situations that you have never imagined and I assure you that you will think back on parts of this book for years to come. Please don’t let the length be a deterrent to take on this story because after you finish it you’ll realize that everything in the book was necessary and meant to be part of the story. I only wish I could thank Mr Verghese in person.
