Summary

There’s a baby in your house. It isn’t yours....

The day I was told I’d never be able to have a child, my world came crashing down. My husband says he still loves me, but I lie awake at night, wishing we could have a family.

One morning, my husband’s side of the bed is cold and empty. I hear a noise and head downstairs.

In the middle of the rug in my living room is a wooden drawer. Swaddled inside, with perfect rosy cheeks and beautiful round blue eyes, a baby gazes up at me.

I shiver. It’s all I’ve ever wanted, but this baby is not mine....

An absolutely addictive thriller with heart-pounding twists from beginning to end. Fans of The Woman in the Window, Freida McFadden, and Lisa Jewell won’t be able to put this jaw-dropping psychological thriller down!

another amazing book from a brilliant author and n

I was absolutely hooked in the first chapter of this brilliant book. I love the way that the author keeps you guessing all the time about what will happen, and just when you think you've worked it out there's another brilliant twist. Tamsins narration is as usual, her Scottish accents are perfect. I will definitely read other books by this author and narrator.

Bit predictable

I liked the narration. I liked the character although at times annoying and nieve.
The plot was rather predicable and I kept waiting on the jaw dropping parts I read in other reviews but sadly none there for me. The story is fine and I still enjoyed listening to it but I had it pegged quite early on unfortunately.

Good narration, predictable story

The narrator is really easy to listen to. The story…I kept hoping there would be a twist I hadn’t spotted - unfortunately it was not to be, and the ending was predictable from about half way through.
