Welcome to Stanhope. A safe neighborhood. A place for families.
William Wooler is a family man, on the surface. But he’s been having an affair, an affair that ended horribly this afternoon at a motel up the road. So when he returns to his house, devastated and angry, to find his difficult nine-year-old daughter, Avery, unexpectedly home from school, William loses his temper.
Hours later, Avery’s family declares her missing.
Suddenly Stanhope doesn’t feel so safe. And William isn’t the only one on his street who’s hiding a lie. As witnesses come forward with information that may or may not be true, Avery's neighbors become increasingly unhinged.
Who took Avery Wooler?
Nothing will prepare you for the truth.
Reviews
lot of build-up for nothing…
1By emwhitehouse94this author spent so much time introducing copious character perspectives (neighbors, detectives, etc) that end to going absolutely nowhere…. the book just ends?? it feels unfinished or something?? terrible, abrupt ending. very, very disappointed. don’t waste your time or money on this one. 0.01 stars.Easy read,
5By Lolly7500Suspend belief and then you will enjoy this book. Never could happen in reality though.Ehhh
3By Meme112A page turner but found myself just wanting the book to end. Under developed characters that were hard to keep track of and very reptitive. I was invested in figuring out who done it but that’s about it.So entertaining
5By vhyo9I just couldn't put this down!Surprisingly good!
5By Ashy-kidThis book should be turned into a mini series! One of the best books I’ve read in a long time.No “The End”
3By coachbolinEverything was great until the end….it just ends without really having an “end”. 😐Un-put-down-able!
5By rf12345678901357924680I loved this book! Twists and turns. Impossible to put down.Meh
2By areallthenicknamestaken????Page turning from the beginning but the ending was lackluster.Spoiler
3By CarleyJo97I was not at all impressed with the ending of this book. I figured there would be more.Riveting and well done!
5By kaykaybean13There is no worse story in the thriller mystery genre than one who’s antagonist is a child. Nine year old Avery, has oppositional disorder and many other behavioral issues that have caused an a chaotic, emotionally unstable joke for her parents and her older brother Michael. She is manipulated calculating evil and cruel. She is vindictive and plots with such vengeance she’s terrifying not only to her peers whom she has none that will play with her but her own father, brother and even her mother are weary of her. Of the three, the 2 men are terrified of her and her unsuspecting dangerous deeds she is happiest doling out. She is a sociopath with no conscious and her mother is the only one who’s still trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and believes that perhaps she will outgrow this misbehavior and troublesome personality she has shown to have extremely strong ties to at a young age of 9. When he father does something she is very mad about, she decides to make him lay, in this horrific and despicable manner in which she not only hurts her father she harms several others who all live within close proximity to her. The police become involved and even they are under her sadistic and pathological influence until she finally slips up on a public forum,,,, she is the scariest 9 year old I’ve ever read about and I don’t blame the father nor the brother for being terrified of her or for the father of moving out. She is a pathological psychopathIt was okay
3By BroOgd15Very good book but the ending just leaves you hanging.The ending
3By TjrunningFantastic! Superb! A wonderful read. Until the end.could not put down
5By 2212mvi love mysteries and thrillers. sheri lapena, however, outdoes all the rest. every time i think i know who the culprit is, another suspect arises. it’s like seeing a crime unfold in real time. the couple next door was great, so i thought this one would be too. it was better! i read the entire book in one day — i haven’t read like that since i was a teenager !!! truly thrilling with an unexpected twist. everyone here is lying and it’s so captivating to find out who.Decent read
3By hkpmammaDecent read. Ending was a little disappointing.RE: I expected more from this author
4By deweese10I read the reviews before I purchased this book. After I started reading it, I realized that the person who wrote the reviews before “I expected more from this author” revealed the plot in the review, and it ruined my reading of the book. It would have been really interesting if I didn’t already know the surprise ending. It was inconsiderate.Good reading!
4By lala's tryingGood book wish the ending was better.Not her best
3By AlexandGabeMomI just found some of the characters to be too unbelievable.Entertaining!
4By Jewel....Kept me reading late into the night.Enjoyable
3By dominolouisBut the last paragraphs that are intended to wrap the story up neatly were a little weak.
