I sit little Mila down at my kitchen table with a glass of milk and a plate of cookies. She smiles shyly at me and I reach out to ruffle her hair.
Leaving her alone for a moment, I dash upstairs, closing my eyes as I take a deep breath. What have I done?
Mila isn’t my child. I should never have taken her home. But what choice did I have?
Painting a smile on my face, I head back down to the kitchen.
But when I reach the table, my blood turns to ice. The back door is open, and Mila is gone.
I need to find her. I need help. But who’s going to believe anything I say when I’m the one who took her first…?
A seriously twisty, addictive psychological thriller that will keep you awake flipping pages all night long. Perfect for anyone who devoured The Housemaid, The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train.
Little Mila has been abducted—twice in the same day.
Teacher Hannah Marlowe is in full panic mode. She’s the one who took Mila from school, thinking she was helping. But when they arrive at her home, Hannah looks away for only a moment—and Mila vanishes.
Hannah knows what she did was wrong, but something deep inside compelled her to act. Her concern for the child intensifies by the second, and when she calls the police, her story sounds unbelievable. Why would she take Mila in the first place? And more importantly—where is the little girl now?
As the story unfolds, shocking clues begin to surface, gradually revealing the disturbing truth behind Hannah’s actions. Samantha Hayes weaves a tense, twist-filled thriller that moves like a fast-paced volley—each revelation sending the reader reeling in a new direction. Beneath the suspense lies a serious, unsettling subject that gives the novel real emotional depth.
This is a gripping psychological thriller that keeps you questioning everyone’s motives until the very end.
When not writing, Samantha loves to cook, go to the gym, see friends and drink nice wine. She is also studying for a degree in psychotherapy. She has three grown-up children and lives in Warwickshire.
