It Could Have Been Her
Lisa Jewell
Jewell is a big deal for a reason. The bestseller’s latest addictive thriller turned my blood to ice with its tale of a cottage in Hampstead Heath’s Vale of Health, and the dysfunctional family that lives there. When Jane Trevally returns a dog discovered near her home in the country to its Hampstead address, she finds herself back at the cottage where she escaped an unsettling incident 25 years earlier. When the dog’s owner is reported missing, Jane starts looking into the mystery – but little could prepare her for the dark secrets concealed within the house.
