When Janette answers the door to a potential customer looking to board his dog, she never imagines he has nefarious plans.

But minutes later he’s dead and in her cellar.

Weeks later she realises she’s pregnant.

And so she becomes Mother and the baby Child, and a hidden life begins.

But all secrets come out eventually . . .

Overall I enjoyed this book but thought that some of the plot choices were only half developed and led you in a strange direction. It was if the author thought about developing one plot line then changed her mind half way through. Lots of missed opportunities. I thought the end was very weak and ill conceived.
I didn't mind the narrator
although I know other people criticised her.

The voice acting is brilliant and you're able to easily distinguish between characters. This was a brilliant book and I would definitely be listening to this again. It's gripping and pulls at your heart.

Character building through excellent voice acting

I found this book difficult listen to until chapter 14 due to the violence and cruelty to a child. Then it improved a lot and became a better listen but it later became disjointed and unsatisfactory in so many areas. The ending was a huge anti climax. I only persevered with it because it was free in the plus catalogue, but I found it o stalk a disappointing book. The narration was very well done.

Not great!
