About this ebook

'Gripping subjects, brilliantly drawn characters and a twisty turny journey from beginning to end. A tense, thrilling read and definitely 5 humongous stars from me' Angela Marsons.
Someone stole a baby...

One sunny day in July, someone took three-month-old Alicia Owen from her pram outside a supermarket. Her mother, Marie, was inside. No one saw who took Alicia. And no one could find her.

They silenced her cry...

Fifteen years later, a teenager on a construction site sees a tiny hand in the ground. When the police investigate, they find a baby buried and preserved in concrete. Could it be Alicia?

But the truth will always out.

When Alicia disappeared, the papers accused Marie of detachment and neglect. The Owens never got over the grief of their child's disappearance and divorced not long after. By reopening the case, DC Beth Chamberlain must reopen old wounds. But the killer may be closer than anyone ever suspected...

The latest crime thriller featuring Family Liaison Officer DC Beth Chamberlain, Hush Little Baby is tightly plotted, fraught with tension and impossible to put down. Perfect for fans of Cara Hunter and K.L. Slater.

    3/5
    I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.The corpse of a baby is discovered on a building site and Beth is appointed to liaise with the family who lost their baby 15 years ago. This was a fast-paced read, but strangely ant-climactic in many ways. There is a mystery about the parentage of the dead baby, but that thread sort of fizzles out. Hours are spent searching for a missing family member, and then that thread is abandoned. The facts surrounding the baby's disappearance and death (which are ultimately uncovered when the person responsible spontaneously confesses) are just not that interesting in the end.This takes you to 80% of the book and then an entirely different story gets going, which only really makes sense if you have read the previous instalment. Not the best in this series.
