About this listen

From the global best-selling author of The Girl in The Letter comes a gripping and heartbreaking novel of family secrets.

Some secrets are locked away for years....

Rebecca Waterhouse is just 13 when she witnesses her mother's death at the hand of her father in Seaview Cottage. But what else did she see?

Years later, Rebecca's daughters Iris and Jessie know their mother will never speak of that terrible night. But when Jessie goes missing, with her gravely ill newborn, Iris realises the past may hold the key to her sister's disappearance.

With Jessie in trouble, Iris must unravel a twisting story of love and betrayal in her mother's family history.

Only then will Seaview Cottage give up its dark and tragic secret...

Previously published as The Lost Child.

I did go through to the end. However found that there were quite a few holes contradictions and implausibilities along the way. How a young woman could get to the age of 39 and be that uncompassionate I found very hard to believe. Narrator had lots of voices to achieve and did them all very believably

A bit holey!
