Something She's Not Telling Us | Darcey Bell

From the New York Times bestselling author of A Simple Favor comes an electrifying domestic thriller of how one woman's life is turned upside down when her brother brings his new girlfriend to visit--and no one is telling the truth about who they really are. She's on the verge of having it all... But one woman stands in her way. Charlotte has everything in life that she ever could have hoped for: a doting, artistic husband, a small-but-thriving flower shop, and her sweet, smart five-year-old daughter, Daisy. Her relationship with her mother might be strained, but the distance between them helps. And her younger brother Rocco may have horrible taste in women, but when he introduces his new girlfriend to Charlotte and her family, they are cautiously optimistic that she could be The One. Daisy seems to love Ruth, and she can't be any worse than the klepto Rocco brought home the last time. At least, that's what Charlotte keeps telling herself. But as Rocco and Ruth's relationship becomes more serious, Ruth's apparent obsession with Daisy grows more obvious. Then Daisy is kidnapped, and Charlotte is convinced there's only one person who could have taken her. Ruth has never had much, but now she's finally on the verge of having everything she's ever dreamed of. A stable job at a start-up company, a rakish, handsome boyfriend with whom she falls more in love with every day--and a chance at the happy family she's always wanted, adorable niece included. The only obstacle standing in her way is her boyfriend's sister Charlotte, whose attitude swerves between politely cold and outright hostile. Rebuffing Ruth's every attempt to build a friendship with her and Daisy, Charlotte watches over her daughter with a desperate protectiveness that sends chills down Ruth's spine. Ruth knows that Charlotte has a deeply-buried secret, the only question is: what? A surprise outing with Daisy could be the key to finding out, and Ruth knows she must take the chance while she has it--for everyone's sake. As the two women follow each other down a chilling rabbit hole, unearthing winding paths of deceit, lies, and trauma, a family and a future will be completely--and irrevocably--shattered. From its very first page, Something She's Not Telling Us takes hold of readers' imagination in a harrowing, unforgettable thriller that dives deep into the domestic psyche and asks the question: Is anyone ever really who they say they are...?

This was just okay. Fast paced thriller with an anticlimactic ending. 2.5/5

I wish there was more to the ending of this book! It took me a little bit to get into it, but by the end I wasn‘t ready for it to end!

I actually really enjoyed this book. It was a quick & easy read, pretty fast paced and suspenseful. I liked the way the book was laid out, jumping from present to past, & between narrators. It's not entirely clear whether the narrators are all unreliable, which adds another bit of intrigue. My only issue was the ending was a bit unsatisfying, but I can't really think of exactly what would have made the ending better so I can't really complain.

An entertaining & well-paced read, which served as a light and fluffy diversion from some more cerebral books I've been reading lately. None of the characters are particularly likeable or reliable. There are many secrets being kept, but only a few are resolved. Because of the many loose ends that beg for more explanation, I can't quite give this one a pick.

SOMETHING SHE‘S NOT TELLING US is filled with uncertainty about almost every character and has characters with big secrets, but none as big as Ruth's.

There is more than the usual share of unlikable characters in this book and an underlying tension from page one.

Just what is Ruth not telling everyone? Or....just what is everyone not telling anyone?

Is anyone ever really who they say they are? I loved A Simple Favor and this one hooked me right after the first chapter! Darcey Bell really knows how to write fast-paced stories. If you enjoy a good psychological suspense, I highly recommend checking this one out! Thanks to NetGalley for the Advance E-Proof!
