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. But something, or someone, must have pushed Maya over the edge. 

Fans of Liane Moriarty and Jojo Moyes will be captivated by this riveting family drama with a dark mystery at its core.

Interesting and good characters. Was thought provoking and you hear the other side of what children think with parents that don’t put them first. Excellent book to listen to while walking.

Love the narration

I was expecting a lot more from this book than it delivers. The book drags for the first half and leaves you wondering what the story's point is. Eventually, things pick up a little bit, but don't expect any big twists or turns. Ultimately, it's a story about a bland 40-something white man who is oblivious to the needs and feelings of the people around him. Not Lisa Jewell's best writing.

Could have been a lot better

The story was ok. But it certainly did have me gripped like her other books do. Found it dragged on a bit.

Not my fave Jewell book
