Summary
"Are you my mummy?"
Tessa Markham returns home to find a child in her kitchen. He thinks she’s his mother. But Tessa doesn’t have any children.
Not anymore.
She doesn’t know who the little boy is or how he got there.
After contacting the police, Tessa is suspected of taking the mystery child. Her whole life is turned upside down. And then her husband reveals a secret of his own….
Tessa isn’t sure what to believe or who to trust. Because someone is lying. To find out who, she must confront her painful past. But is the truth more dangerous than Tessa realises?
An absolutely pause-resisting psychological thriller with a twist that will make you wonder if you can ever trust anyone again. If you loved Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and The Sister this book will have you hooked.

Listened in 2 days!
This is a great book, you really feel for the characters and really want to know what happens. if it wasn't Audible I'd say it was a page turner but I listened to the whole thing in 2 days and would have been 1 if life didn't get in the way haha. Strongly recommend.

Enjoyed
A story that took me a moment to get into but once there, I couldn’t stop listening. Interesting twist albeit ever so slightly predictable towards the end. Recommend 👌🏻

Kept me entertained
A little too predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless. It says something about the performances that i kept listening to the end despite having figured out all the twists.

Good story
The book is good and the story is strong. It is read really well and reads easily. The ending is weak with less detail on the challenges of a new life for some of the characters..

An Addictive Listen
I had to start again once because when I first listened to Chapter 1 the narration seemed very fast and I couldn't concentrate BUT when I waited until I was alert and could give it my full attention I didn't look back. This was a completely addictive listen for me with outstanding narration. I was looking for every opportunity to carry on with the story. Even though it was easy to see where the ending was heading I still really wanted to listen right up to the end and hear it play out.

Great book
Didn’t think u would like it at first but story is cracking although it predictable it doesn’t detract from the enjoyability. Wonderful ending too.

Predictable
Predictable but a good read, hooked from the start but easy to see where it's going. Read beautifully.
