About this listen

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!

At the beginning I couldn’t think how she was going to be able to give a valid reason for the baby, but the author did.

The connection to the character and my compassion and utter frustration where I wanted to slap her

But I guess control over a person happens slowly and she not only could not see how controlling he was and nasty she didn’t notice that other people didn’t like him

Twisty & unexpected

Although I liked the story overall I only rate 4 stars due to some aspects not quite adding up and the storyline was predictable however I did enjoy it.
