It Could Have Been Her is a very apt title for this book. It is a thought that comes up various times throughout the book. I found It Could Have Been Her to be gripping, atmospheric, twisted, and dark. Lisa Jewell pulls out all the stops in this book about a woman, a missing dog, a house full of dark secrets, and a missing teenager.
Jane Trevally was walking her dogs when she saw a lone dog on her country estate/manor home grounds. The dog was with a teen who was staying nearby, but the teen is now missing. Jane tracks the dog’s owner down to a home in Hamstead. She is shocked and has shivers running up and down her spine when she pulls up to the home of the dog’s owner. She knows this house, she can’t forget this house, she fears this house. Jane can’t let the feeling that something isn’t right go, and she goes on a journey to find the truth.
In true Lisa Jewell fashion, this book showed the worst in some of the characters, the damage in others, and the good in some. This book contained layers of secrets and oodles of dread. I enjoyed the tension, the danger, and mounting suspense.
I never quite knew where this book was going, but I enjoyed the dark and twisted ride!
