Story
In the early hours of a summer morning, a young woman steps into the path of an oncoming bus. A tragic accident? Or suicide? At the center of this puzzle is Adrian Wolfe, a successful architect and grief-stricken widower, who, a year after his third wife's death, begins to investigate the cause. As Adrian looks back on their brief but seemingly happy marriage, disturbing secrets begin to surface. The divorces from his two previous wives had been amicable, or so it seemed; his children, all five of them, were resilient as ever, or so he thought.

When Owusu sends the evidence for examination, he learns the bones are connected to a cold case that left three people dead on the kitchen floor in a Chelsea mansion thirty years ago.

Story
Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England. It’s the sort of place where doctors and lawyers and old-money academics live. It’s not the sort of place where people get stabbed in the back 30 times with a kitchen knife in their own homes. Someone must have seen something. Newlywed Joey Mullen, for example, recently returned from four years of working in Ibiza. She and her husband, Alfie, are eager to find a place of their own in her hometown. But Joey finds herself distracted by the man next door, Tom Fitzwilliam.

It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at the video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived. The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever.

Raw, realistic and remarkable
I think I got this book as a mistake, I had read the synopsis of another book and confused it with this one. Since I really enjoy Lisa Jewell novels. I thought I would give it a try and I am so happy that I did. The main character was so realistic and so emotionally raw, it really didn’t feel like a work of fiction. What a masterpiece, every single character is so well flushed out and developed, and all from the perspective of this most amazing main character. Please take a chance on this book, you’ll be glad you’re dead.

Interesting concept
It is an interesting story concept, but not structured well. The story jumped between the past and present too frequently and seemed to run out of steam towards the end. Well read though and kept me entertained for a few hours

It took me a little while to really immersed myself in the story but once I did I bunged it all the way through. The characters were well described.
Not a deep read but definitely a lovely story.
