The Stay-at-Home Mother

Her chest tightens. The kitchen is chaos. She steps on something hard, and looks down. Toy dinosaurs are scattered everywhere. But her son is nowhere - her baby boy is gone. The police arrive. She can't look at her husband. Instead, she studies the network of lines on her shaking hands. Then her phone beeps with a voice message. 'Listen to it on speaker,' says the detective. A woman's voice fills the air. 'I'm assuming this is the Andrea Gately listed as a contact on the Missing Children of the World website. I'm calling to let you know that I've given your details to the police. Why are you using a picture of my son on a missing children's website? Why are you using it and where did you get it?' An absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller that will leave you gasping with shock and staying up way past your bedtime. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Liane Moriarty and Adele Parks.
