I pull back the blanket to take another peek at my beautiful baby boy. My heart flatlines. He isn’t there. “Where is he?” I cry, my whole body trembling. But my husband just shakes his head. “Darling… we don’t have a baby.”
What is he talking about? Stumbling to my feet, I look frantically at the highchair, the playmat in the corner, the sofa. I need to find my little boy.
Limbs like ice, I rush toward the stairs, shouting my son’s name. But my husband grabs my arms and gently reminds me there is no baby here.
I can’t listen. I don’t understand how our child isn’t in our home. I don’t know who could have taken him. I just know I have to find him.
Climbing the stairs two at a time, my hand is already stretching toward the nursery door, but my husband overtakes, blocking my way.
He forces me to face him. I think I can hear the baby mobile over the crib. I can practically smell the newborn smell. But my husband sighs and shakes his head.
He says it again, firmly this time, as a tear tracks down my cheek: “We don’t have a baby.”

Review
I knew about this author, but I had never read one of her books. The ones I know about are historical and that is frankly not my cup of tea. And then I saw an announcement for a tour for her latest book and when I realised it was a thriller, I was thrilled too. I wanted to read it straight away.
It’s crystal clear to me that a good author can write every genre they want to, because this story was sooo good. I had figured out something whole by myself ;), but boy oh boy the writer had a few more twists up her sleeve I did not see coming at all.
There is heartbreak, drama and suspense in this story and it’s really sad to see what some people can come up with to set their world right. They believe it’s their right because they have been wronged before. Consequences? That’s not for them to think about. They come first and all the rest is considered collateral damage…
The book left me sitting with my mouth wide open on more than one occasion. I loved the writing style and I was captured by the story. I hope the author will continue to write thrillers. I am a big fan. 5 stars
Thank you
