An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist

My life is perfect. Bad things don’t happen to me. So why has someone taken my daughter?

I thought I was the luckiest woman alive. I have a loving husband, who supports me in everything I do. A beautiful home, with comfy couches and art taped to the fridge. And Stella—my kind, gentle daughter. I’ve fought so hard for this life, and every day I’m grateful for it.

So it hits me like lightning, the moment I see my nanny stumbling towards me, blood drying on her forehead. She was attacked. Stella is gone.

The world spins. I fight to breathe. This can’t happen to me. Not now.

I thought it couldn’t get any worse, but as I sit in a daze on Stella’s bed, my eye falls on a stuffed cat, threadbare from cuddling, that I thought I’d never see again. My blood freezes. Because now I know who did this, and they won’t rest till my perfect life comes tumbling down.

But they don’t know how hard I’ll fight to protect myself, my daughter—and my secrets…

A gasp-out-loud psychological thriller from the bestselling author of Not My Mother, with a twist you’ll never see coming. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Lucy Foley and Gillian Flynn.

Miranda smith does it again she is really great at writing domestic thrillers. I loved loved not my mother and this is another great book by her. The twist in the story was very good I was surprised . Lately I've seen a lot of thrillers about trad wives and social media influencers it's become a popular subject this has a mommy influencer too. I loved it and would recommend reading it and her other books especially not my mother you won't be disappointed.

I love this author
