Alice's baby is two weeks old when she leaves the house without her for the first time. On her eager return, she finds the front door open, her husband asleep on their bed upstairs. She rushes into their baby's room and screams. 'This isn't our baby! Where's our baby?' Her increasingly hostile husband swears she must be either mad or lying, and the DNA test is going to take a week.
One week later, before the test has been taken, Alice and the baby have disappeared. Run away, abducted, murdered? The police who dismissed her baby swap story must find out, and as they do, they find dark incidents in David's past ...

I suspected pretty much everyone in this book - even the police officers! A relatively good who-done-it

I found the main character, Alice, to be quite irritating and weak. At the end I knew why she behaved the way she did but it was frustrating to have to experience her in that manner.

Move on to something with more believable drama.

Sophie Hannah is an award-winning poet and crime fiction writer whose novels are international bestsellers.

An easy read that can keep you interested throughout. Although, if it was any longer the intrigue might be lost
