Also, the book contains many warnings that all readers can benefit from: beware of narcissists and dysfunctional relationships, be selective and only spend time with others we admire and respect, do not rush into drastic moves with partners we do not really know. I greatly enjoyed reading this book! It is an excellent story to share with teens about spending time with peers who do not share the same values and beliefs. Jewell is in top form in this suspenseful, satisfying story. Not every plot twist is plausible, but the backstory makes readers question everything they think they know as things cleverly unfold. Together, the two women search for the truth of what happened. While Shaun prepares for the new semester, Sophie discovers a hand-lettered cardboard sign in the garden that reads 'Dig Here.' When digging reveals what might be a vital clue to Tallulah and Zach's disappearance, Sophie joins forces with Kim, who has never given up hope that Tallulah is still alive. A year later, Sophie Beck, a writer of cozy mysteries, moves into a cottage near the estate with her partner, Shaun Gray, who has just accepted a teaching position at a local school. Left behind is their infant son, whose care is assumed by Tallulah's distraught mother, Kim. In this excellent thriller from bestseller Jewell (The Family Upstairs), Tallulah and Zach, both 19, disappear after a date night that starts at a pub and takes the unmarried couple to a country estate in Surrey, England.
