My name is Lydia. I’m 12 years old. I’m not an evil person, but I did something bad.
My name is Maddie. I’d never hurt my son. But can I be sure if I don’t remember?
With three children under ten, Maddie is struggling. On the outside, she’s a happy young mother, running a charity as well as a household. But inside, she’s exhausted. She knows she’s lucky to have to have a support network around her. Not just her loving husband, but her family and friends too.
But is Maddie putting her trust in the right people? Because when tragedy strikes, she is certain someone has hurt her child – and everyone is a suspect, including Maddie herself…
THIS IS THE STORY OF EVERY MOTHER’S WORST FEAR. BUT IT’S NOT A STORY YOU KNOW… AND NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS.
About the author:
Tess Stimson is the British author of ten novels, including top-ten bestseller The Adultery Club, and two non-fiction books, which between them have been translated into dozens of languages. Her first "proper" job after graduating from St Hilda's College, Oxford (where she read English) was as a news trainee with ITN (Independent Television News). She reported and produced regional and world stories, travelling to hotspots and war-zones all over the globe.
In 2002, she was appointed Professor of Creative Writing at the University of South Florida and moved to the US. She now lives and works in Vermont with her husband, Erik, their three children, and (at the last count) two cats, three fish, one gerbil and a large number of bats in the attic.
Claire's Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is a psychological thriller; the story of Maddie, a mother of three children under the age of ten, struggling with postnatal depression and exhaustion from lack of sleep. When her two-month-old is found dead in his cot, Maddie finds herself as a suspect.
Wow this book really had me hooked, as a mother of 3 myself, I know how hard looking after young children can be and so this story really struck a chord with me, and I couldn't put it down.
The story is chilling, emotional and full of twists you won't see coming. Just when you think you have the story figured out, it goes in a completely different direction and leaves you guessing till the very end.
I cannot wait to see what comes next from this author!
