Poppy, Floyd’s youngest daughter, however has striking similarities to Ellie, which only leaves Laurel with more questions than answers.

Clare and her daughters, Pip and Grace, move into the community after their husband and father has a breakdown. Kirsty and Gray are teenagers who when on their annual vacation meet with a teenage boy, who begins to show interest in Kirsty.

My favorite character was Adele; she was such a strong character and I found her sense of humor refreshing and a little lighter air when the mood was getting too somber. 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. This is my first novel by this author, but now that she is on my radar I plan to check out her other books, as well. A lifelong bookworm, she aims to provide readers with literary inspiration in the form of book reviews, reading lists and more. In some ways, this story is a little quirky, told from various POV’s, but also does a pretty good job of creating a feeling of unease, and building suspense at a steady pace, with a few very surprising twists thrown in along the way.We open with a somewhat gruesome scene where a 13 year old girl is found unconscious and clothing askew. She currently resides in the North side of London with her husband, their two daughters and her cats.

I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick suspense story that is milder on the graphics and triggers. Set in London, this is a story about a close-knit community surrounding a central 3-acre park, complete with a playground, rose garden, even a secret garden. Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.Maybe, but the sasquatches whom the volcano displaced contributed to the statistics, too, if only out of self-defense.

A young 13-year-old girl named Grace is found unconscious and half-dressed, lying on the ground in the park.As the annual communal party starts to wind up, Pip goes looking for her sister – and she finds her, lying on the ground in a quiet corner of the garden, barely recognisable. But, when Grace is found unconscious, and hospitalized, remaining in a coma, leaving everyone unsure of what happened to her, a dark side of the idealistic garden community is exposed, with long buried secrets coming to light, prompting some to take drastic measures to protect one of their own.

We know from early on that something bad has happened and then the story goes back to before the event.

Families with secrets, teenage love, green-eyed monsters, and an unresolved 15 year old murder of a young girl that was killed in this very garden make for a captivating story that I found hard to put down. These six residents of the London brownstone, who are entangled in a love web, will finally unravel their real destinies in Ralph's party.
