Heavily pregnant with her second child, Tessa Irons has enough on her mind without her toddler throwing tantrums at the local coffee shop. The boy is inconsolable, shouting “Gigi!” to a woman Tessa’s never seen before—and never will again. The next morning, the woman’s body is dredged up from the canal outside the Ironses’ posh Venice Beach home, and Tessa’s gut tells her it’s no coincidence.   Barb Geller refuses to believe that her daughter’s death was just some drunken accident. She heads to California for answers, where she crosses paths with Tessa. Together they hunt for the truth, certain they’ll find a connection between their children.   But the police don’t believe them. Tessa’s husband dismisses her worries as pregnancy jitters, and even though people are always watching along the Canals, no one saw a thing. Tessa and Barb only have each other, their intuition, and the creeping sense of danger that grows with every shocking revelation.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57685672919413,"sku":"9781662531989","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":56419948593525,"sku":"9781662531972","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781662531989.jpg?v=1792598814"},{"product_id":"the-bookshop-of-yesterdays","title":"The Bookshop Of Yesterdays","description":"\u003cp\u003eSecrets lie on the bookshop shelves in this cozy, compelling family mystery for readers of The Lost Bookshop and The Keeper of Stories!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘I didn’t want to stop reading this book.

The third-grade parents at the elite Chester School don’t do anything small—not their drama and certainly not their end-of-year trips. As they set out to the remote island of Santa Cruz off the coast of Southern California, where the only amenity is running water and help is a ninety-minute boat ride away, they may have finally gotten in over their heads.   Stranded by a sudden storm, the chaperones wake to find two children missing from their tents.   The search for the boys leads to a body—and a surfacing of secrets that were meant to stay buried.   Because there’s someone else on the island. Someone with secrets of their own. Someone who shouldn’t be there. And has every reason to stay.   The Chaperones is a locked room thriller that will keep readers guessing about who’s dead and who’s capable of murder, and whose secrets started it all.   © 2026 by Amy Meyerson, all rights reserved.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57682792612213,"sku":"9781662542145","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":57507672359285,"sku":"9781662542138","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781662542145_87b15dd3-f179-4fe9-bc61-b73de5c7db9c.jpg?v=1792511639"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-amy-meyerson.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
