DESCRIPTION:
I thought my sister was killed a year ago. But now her baby is on my doorstep…
I’m drinking a glass of wine in my quiet, empty house, listening to the silence and wondering if I will always be this lonely… And then I hear the knock.
When I open the door, I can’t believe what I see. A small bundle, pink fists waving weakly under a patterned blanket, gorgeous deep blue eyes blinking up at me.
A baby.
I rush to pick her up, clutching her tightly. Who can she belong to? Why would someone abandon her at my door?
I call the police, and social care. But I could never have predicted what happened next. Because when they run DNA, the baby is related to me.
She’s my sister’s child.
But that’s impossible. My sister was murdered a year ago.
Wasn’t she?
A completely gripping and unputdownable thriller from the bestselling author of Not My Mother that will keep you gripped from the first page to the final shocking twist. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Lucy Foley and Gillian Flynn.

MY THOUGHTS:
“He killed her that night, and it’s possible my argument with her was the first fallen domino in a series of unfortunate events. I’ll always blame myself for that.”
Divorce pending. Overwhelmed with loneliness and consumed with the disappearance of her sister. The happiness and contentment she once experienced vanished in an instant. These are the challenges Emily is grappling with. One evening, a persistent knock on her door sparks her curiosity and fear. Her anxieties are heightened.
That’s the thrilling opening in Miranda Smith’s latest book. The knock on Emily’s door? A baby. An actual baby is on her doorstep, and all Emily could hear before opening the door was footsteps rushing away. She immediately calls the police, who take the appropriate action and take the baby to be checked out. However, that’s not the end of Emily’s encounter with the baby. The baby will return. Emily is clueless about caring for a baby. Despite her impending divorce, she reaches out to her husband, Byron, for help.
This unexpected distraction diverts Emily from her pursuit of the man she believes was responsible for her sister Erin’s disappearance. Emily had been convinced from the beginning that her on-and-off boyfriend, Adam, was the culprit, even her sister’s murderer. Despite her relentless efforts to prove Adam’s guilt, her immediate attention shifts to the baby.
Prepare to be surprised, thrilled and shocked as you read The Baby on her Doorstep. This fast-paced book seemingly transitions from Emily’s sister to the situation involving the baby. I couldn’t put this book down! We understand why Emily is suddenly responsible for the baby, but there are some chapters in this book that will no doubt be utterly compelling for the reader. Wow! That is all I can say at this point. If you haven’t read this book yet, head over to your online bookstore and add it to your immediate reading list.
Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
