The New York Times bestselling author of The Monogram Murders and Woman with a Secret returns with a sharp, captivating, and expertly plotted tale of psychological suspense. All Beth has to do is drive her son to his soccer game, watch him play, and then return home. Just because she knows her ex-best friend lives near the field, that doesn't mean she has to drive past her house and try to catch a glimpse of her. Why would Beth do that and risk dredging up painful memories? She hasn't seen Flora for twelve years. She doesn't want to see her today--or ever again. But she can't resist. She parks outside the open gates of Newnham House, watches from across the road as Flora arrives and calls to her children Thomas and Emily to get out of the car. Except . . . There's something terribly wrong. Flora looks the same, only older. Twelve years ago, Thomas and Emily were five and three years old. Today, they look precisely as they did then. They are Thomas and Emily without a doubt, but they haven't changed at all. They are no taller, no older. Why haven't they grown? How is it possible that they haven't grown up?

I did not see the answer coming! I wasn't sure what I thought of Beth. Her husband and daughter were really great characters though. Overall, an enjoyable read.
There was nothing thrilling about this book. The entire time I was thinking in no way would anyone behave this way and not been seen as crazy and every other character supporting the craziness as if it were normal.
I read this in one sitting — I was so riveted I could not put it down! One of the more unique psychological thrillers. This is the first book I've ever read by the author; I'll be reading more for sure
