They warned me the first few days of motherhood would be exhausting, but I’m so deliriously happy, I don’t mind one bit. Smiling, I glance at the baby blue blanket I crocheted. I’ve never knitted a thing in my life, but I was determined to make my newborn his very first blanket—a one-of-a-kind welcome-home gift. I tug the rocker closer to me, unable to resist peeking at my beautiful baby boy. I pull back the blanket. It feels like my heart flatlines. He’s not here. Sweat beads on my forehead, and my limbs turn to ice. “Where is he?” I cry, my whole body trembling, the wind knocked out of me.

I open the front door and there’s Amy, smiling sweetly and ready to help. She’s been a lifesaver since Jon and I moved here–from walking the dog to picking up my little son Teddy from nursery last minute. I’m so lucky we met in the playground the first day we arrived. Amy is more than just a good friend. My only friend, really. Whenever Amy and Jon exchange glances I’m sure it seems like they’ve met before, even though Jon swears they haven’t. But then again Jon recognises lots of people from his childhood round here without truly knowing them.
Publisher's Summary
When she was alive, no one would listen. Now she is dead, they are forced to.
After escaping an unhappy marriage, Anna had the rest of her life to look forward to. However, she soon swapped one toxic family situation for another. When she plunged to her death from the bannister to the foot of her staircase whilst painting, initial grief swiftly became speculation.
Jamie has minimal support as he mourns his mother. Struggling with his estranged father’s indifference and demands from the stepfamily Anna has thrust on him, he initially turns his loss and anger inward.
Then, the Twitter notifications begin.
Anna Hardaker is following you....
There were no shortage of jealous motives that surrounded Anna prior to her death. And for those left behind, the questions, blame, and toxicity persist as everyone strives to uncover the truth.
Meanwhile, as the tweets increase in number and intensity, Jamie’s world becomes darker and lonelier. Until he finally unleashes his rage on those who remain.
