A Perfect Mother: An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist
First published 2026
My life is perfect. Bad things don't happen to me. So why has someone taken my daughter? I thought I was the luckiest woman alive. I have a loving husband, who supports me in everything I do. A beautiful home, with comfy couches and art taped to the fridge. And Stella-my kind, gentle daughter. I've fought so hard for this life, and every day I'm grateful for it. So it hits me like lightning, the moment I see my nanny stumbling towards me, blood drying on her forehead. She was attacked. Stella is gone. The world spins. I fight to breathe. This can't happen to me. Not now. I thought it couldn't get any worse, but as I sit in a daze on Stella's bed, my eye falls on a stuffed cat, threadbare from cuddling, that I thought I'd never see again. My blood freezes. Because now I know who did this, and they won't rest till my perfect life comes tumbling down. But they don't know how hard I'll fight to protect myself, my daughter-and my secrets... A gasp-out-loud psychological thriller from the bestselling author of Not My Mother, with a twist you'll never see coming. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Lucy Foley and Gillian Flynn. "I devoured it in a day!...
