Summary
Everyone makes mistakes. But does everyone deserve to be forgiven?
She runs past the tinkling of children’s laughter that fills the park. Heart hammering, feet stinging, she reaches the riverbank, her breath catching in her throat. And then she sees...
Three years later.
Claire has everything she’s always wanted. A newborn baby. A doting husband by her side. A picturesque home in the countryside.
But behind closed doors, Claire’s life is falling apart. Her husband is barely ever home, she’s struggling to bond with her baby girl, and she swears that she is being watched in the remote, lonely cottage.
And when a threatening note is posted through her letterbox, saying she doesn’t deserve her daughter, it’s clear that someone knows about the terrible mistake that Claire made - someone won’t let her forget it. Three years ago, she would have known who to turn to. But now she no longer recognizes those closest to her or the person she’s become. Whom can she trust?
A chilling psychological thriller about a mother’s worst nightmare. Fans of K. L. Slater, Shalini Boland, and The Girl on the Train will love the twists, turns and gasp-worthy shocks of this stunning debut from Ruth Heald.

Great story
It was an unputdownable book, or in this case listen. Very much enjoyed it and it was a very good storyline. In parts I felt a bit like the author was rambling on but that was fine. I have to admit that I spotted who the culprit was earlyish on. I'll buy more books by this lady. Just to add the orator of the book was great too. :)

Another brilliant book
I came across Ruth’s books as I am a fan of Tamsin the narrator, another brilliant book. I couldn’t figure it out until the end which is rare! Would recommend

Gripping, unpredictable and very enjoyable
I’m normally 3 steps ahead guessing the ‘who did it’ well before the clues come but this book really kept me wondering. Extremely well written

a bit confusing
Found this book, although enjoyable, quite confusing at times as to which "I" was talking. But then thoroughly enjoyed the ending with the final twist making sense of the whole thing. narration was good.

Zzzz
Yes, three stars for the good twist, but boy, was it a longwinded journey to get to it. It didn’t matter if I lost the thread though because the heroine would still either be breastfeeding the baby, feeling tears prick her eyes or feeling completely exhausted 🙄. And the baby who screamed relentlessly for most of the book still managed to sit for hour upon hour in coffee shops or bars without so much as a murmur. Relieved this one’s over.
