When Libby Jones turns 25, she receives a letter that she has been waiting for her entire life: the letter that gives her the identity of her birth parents. And, as it turns out, she is also the sole inheritor of their abandoned mansion in London. Everything in Libby's life is about to change . . . but she has no idea just what's around the corner. Because 25 years ago, the police were called to this house with a report of a baby crying and when they went in, they discovered a baby --- and several dead adults. Where were the four other children who lived in that house?
Now, everything (and everyone) seems to be coming together now that Libby has inherited the house. However, are the people who say they can help her really out to hurt her? And just what happened in that sinister house?
This tautly written psychological thriller keeps you on edge and guessing, with a cast of characters who have more than one layer to them. The story goes back and forth in different perspectives of characters, and also back in forth in time, which gives the story a layered effect, as well. And the effect of unwrapping a particularly nasty box of family secrets. Interesting premise, and I liked it up to the end.
