Did he have anything to do with Lydia's buggy accident?

The secret

Jonas confesses the real reason he's returned. He and his sister suspect that Jonas' daughter is the only one who knows a terrible secret about their mother. A secret so explosive that when the little girl heard it, she stopped speaking

Now if only Syra can get the girl to reveal it but does she really want to hear it?

The Little Girl with a Secret is not a sequel to The Little Girl in the Window. However, that book is recommended as a companion read. The thrillers share similar themes: A city girl hiding out in the country. A borrowed dog. A love interest who may or may not be trouble.

And a strange little girl who holds the key to a dark secret.

Praise for The Little Girl in the Window:

"What can I say about this book, except it was bloody brilliant! What an amazing, unexpected twist. It sneaked up behind me, and whacked me upside the head. I saw starsin this case, five." Goodreads reader
