What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

A missing child. A house full of secrets. A mystery waiting to be solved.

Close your eyes.
The game of hide and seek is over, but little Lily Murphy hasn't been found. Her parents try to stay positive, but they know this peaceful Dublin suburb will never be the same again.

Count to ten.
Years later, Joanna moves into a new house. It seems perfect in every way, until she learns that Lily Murphy used to live here.

And when you open them, your child is gone.
Because Joanna thinks she knows what really happened to Lily – and if the truth gets out, it might be her undoing...
