Description:
On her twenty-fifth birthday, Libby Jones inherits a grand but derelict house in a wealthy corner of London — and with it, a dark and disturbing history. Years earlier, that same house was the scene of a chilling discovery: three dead adults, apparently part of a sinister pact, found in the kitchen, and a healthy baby (Libby herself) left unharmed upstairs in her cot. The three older children who also lived there had vanished without a trace. As Libby sets out to uncover the truth about her origins, the story unspools across past and present, weaving together the voices of those who survived that strange, controlling household and the secrets they've carried ever since. Tense, twisty, and unsettling, this bestselling thriller slowly reveals what really happened within the family's walls.
