Description

When Libby Jones discovers she's inherited a multimillion-pound mansion on London's Thames, she believes her life is finally beginning—until she uncovers the dark secrets buried within its walls. Twenty-five years earlier, police arrived at the same Chelsea townhouse to find a baby thriving in her crib while three bodies lay dead in the kitchen and four other children had vanished without a trace. As Libby investigates her mysterious past, she finds herself drawn into a web of interconnected families whose lives have been shaped by the tragedy that unfolded at 16 Cheyne Walk. Lisa Jewell masterfully weaves together multiple timelines and perspectives to reveal how one house became the epicenter of a haunting mystery that refuses to stay buried. This gripping psychological thriller explores the bonds of family, the weight of secrets, and the dangerous consequences of a past that refuses to be forgotten.
