Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:

Named most anticipated book of the year by Cosmopolitan, Women's Wear Daily, Woman's Day, She Reads, The Nerd Daily, and Sassy Sarah Reads.

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 visitâ??and no one is telling the truth about who they really are.

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 dayâ??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 itâ??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 completelyâ??and irrevocablyâ??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 th… (meer)

Loads of intriguing hints (the photo with the Baroness! The startup! The fire! Did Ted actually tell Ruth about Daisy or did she guess and make it up? Where was Ruth when she claimed to be at her grandparents’?) as the tension builds but what a disappointing resolution. “She was lying the whole time because she’s crazy” is prob my least favorite thriller explanation.

I would have enjoyed this more if not for the ending!
The story is about Charlotte, her husband, Eli, daughter Daisy, and brother Rocco. Rocco has a history of bad relationships, so when Rocco brings Ruth home, Charlotte and family are wary. As the novel goes on, you discover that Ruth is a liar. Plus she has kidnapped Daisy. However, she knows some truths about Charlotte that Charlotte doesn’t want told.
The ending was too abrupt, and a bit unbelievable. ( )

I really enjoyed this!! Although I didn't enjoy Bell's other book, A Simple Favor, I found this book well-paced and the characters well thought out. It was an easy read, not the most twisty-turny thriller I've ever read, but definitely enjoyable! ( )

Charlotte is a doting mom who adores her five-year-old daughter, Daisy. She's also extremely overprotective and anxious, watching and worrying over Daisy's every move. Charlotte and her brother, Rocco, had a tough childhood. Rocco reacts by dating a variety of troubled women. But it seems like he's finally found someone special in his latest girlfriend, Ruth. Ruth really seems to love Rocco--and Daisy. But Charlotte rankles at how much Ruth likes Daisy and vice versa. Then Daisy is kidnapped from school, and Charlotte is convinced that Ruth took her. Is she right, or is it just Charlotte's fears rearing up again?

This was a twisty read that kept me guessing the entire time. It makes you work a bit to keep up, going back and forth between different perspectives and time periods, but it is interesting, dark, and compelling, with several good surprises thrown in. I was constantly switching my allegiances between Charlotte and Ruth, wondering which one (if either) I should trust. The ending felt a little abrupt and quick, but I would certainly read Bell's other work. 3.5 stars.

I received a copy of this book from Harper Paperbacks and LibraryThing in return for an honest review. ( )

I had read Darcy Bell's first novel, A Simple Favor, and enjoyed it. I was delighted to win a copy of her latest novel on LibraryThing. This is my honest review.

Charlotte lives a charmed life with wealth, a career in the floral industry, a good marriage, and a 5-year-old daughter, Daisy. She's close to her younger brother, Rocco, because they shared a difficult childhood at the hands of their mother. Rocco is single since he keeps dating women who have many faults. When he brings Ruth to meet Charlotte and her family, Charlotte feels maybe Ruth is a good match for Rocco.

Charlotte is extremely protective of Daisy and soon begins to feel that Ruth is becoming possessive toward Daisy. She also notices other strange things about Ruth and decides that maybe Ruth is mentally ill. One day when Charlotte goes to get Daisy from school, she finds that Ruth has taken her. The suspense starts to build as the family tries to find Daisy.

What I liked: the premise, the fast-pacing, and the twists and turns.

What I didn't like: the constant shifting of time between the past and present, the sudden ending, the questions left unanswered, and the characters.

Perhaps Ms. Bell is planning a sequel. ( )
