Lisa’s Lockdown novel is stunningly good。 Her characters become familiar through their interactions in the storyline。 It is a seesaw of time clips so it’s probably worth a notepad at the side to jot down dates to sort out the timeline in the reader’s head。 It can be very confusing but is worth the time spent as the story is unusual。 It contains a bit of Enid Blytonish secret tunnel syndrome and dark woods and so connected the adventures I read as a child to a very different genre。 Highly recomme Lisa’s Lockdown novel is stunningly good。 Her characters become familiar through their interactions in the storyline。 It is a seesaw of time clips so it’s probably worth a notepad at the side to jot down dates to sort out the timeline in the reader’s head。 It can be very confusing but is worth the time spent as the story is unusual。 It contains a bit of Enid Blytonish secret tunnel syndrome and dark woods and so connected the adventures I read as a child to a very different genre。 Highly recommended。 。。。more

I love Lisa Jewell books， that being said this one felt more of a mystery drama than a thriller。 I liked the plot， it is interesting but didn't feel very tense or like i was eager to read on。 It didn't hook me as much as her previous books。 I like how Lisa moves the plot through various timelines and does make you want to read on to find out what happened to Tallulah and Zach。 I didn't feel I clicked with the characters or had a vested interest in them。 I love Lisa Jewell books， that being said this one felt more of a mystery drama than a thriller。 I liked the plot， it is interesting but didn't feel very tense or like i was eager to read on。 It didn't hook me as much as her previous books。 I like how Lisa moves the plot through various timelines and does make you want to read on to find out what happened to Tallulah and Zach。 I didn't feel I clicked with the characters or had a vested interest in them。 。。。more
