Summary

Just how far is a mother willing to go?

When a mysterious note arrives for six months pregnant Dr Eliana Hughes, she begins to doubt every aspect of her life - from her mixed feelings about motherhood to her marriage to Martin, who has become distant in recent months. 

As the person behind the note escalates their campaign to out Eli’s husband as a cheat, she finds herself unable to trust even her own instincts, and as pressure builds, she makes a mistake that jeopardises her entire future. 

Elsewhere, someone is watching. Someone who desperately wants a baby to call their own and will go to any lengths to become a mother - and stay a mother....

Critic reviews

"Amazing. I read it in one go. I was totally hooked." (Marian Keyes)

"A powerful and emotional psychological thriller that will keep you guessing and leave you breathless." (C. L. Taylor, author of The Fear)

"Utterly addictive! Literally couldn’t put it down all day! Compulsive, twisty, tense. And LOVED the ending." (Claire Douglas, author of Local Girl Missing)

Fabulous!

During the early chapters, I wondered about returning this book. It seemed a bit ‘chic lit’ for me. I’m so glad I persevered as it became something else entirely. A real thriller. I can say no more without revealing spoilers. Therefore, I’ll just say ‘buy it’!

Loved it!

Couldn't stop listening.
Easy to listen to, real characters and a brilliant but fairly sad story. I did shed a few tears at the end.
Highly recommend.

Loved It!

This book is so well narrated, absolutely brilliant. The story is very good, it's clever, and the narration absolutely brings it to life. This one is a no-brainer!

Drippy heroine!

Why the daft pregnant woman! Makes assumptions with absolutely no proof. Saw the conclusion coming from half way through the book.

Miss

First book by the author. Standard women’s chick lit beach reading. Poorly developed characters - Eliana is whiny and 2 dimensional and for a senior trained nurse ridiculously panicky and unable to help herself. Never get to hear from husband Martin’s perspective which would have massively helped the character development. Entirely guessable plot twist from half way through.
Majority of the book narrative two whiny women with chapters and chapters detailing the feelings around miscarriage and still birth in far too much detail. I’m by no means a sensitive soul but give it a miss if this is a sensitive subject for you - I skipped about 6 chapters entirely.
