Description
My baby is missing. Everyone thinks it’s my fault.
I’m so scared carrying my delicate newborn, Lola, home from the hospital. It wasn’t an easy birth and she is so small. Seeing her gorgeous little face look up at me I swear I’ll never let anyone hurt her. But maybe I should have been protecting her from myself…
My wonderful husband Max reassures me that the blackouts I’m having are normal: I’m sleep-deprived, and I just need help.
Until my baby girl goes missing.
I’m distraught. How is it possible? How could her crib be lying empty?
They think the pressure of being a mother has broken me. And there’s just so much I don’t remember, I have to wonder if they could be right? After all, I have done some terrible things in my life… but I’d never, ever hurt my baby girl.
I’m certain someone close to me is setting me up. And they don’t know how far I’ll go to bring my baby home again.
An edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller perfect for fans of Frieda McFadden, Jeneva Rose and The Girl in Seat 2A. Prepare to stay up all night reading!
