My rating: 4.5 stars, and I’ve added other books by Lucinda Berry to my TBR list. There’s the obvious parallels between this and Bad Apple/Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage, but while they both centre around manipulative children this did feel like a very different story. I thought I’d guessed what was happening early in the story, but what I thought was happening changed throughout the book, and I still didn’t guess the ending. This book started with a police interview, before going back to the start of the story, which I’m not usually a fan of but it worked well in this book. Children are supposed to be innocent and it’s always unsettling when they act in a way that doesn’t fit with this belief. I couldn’t put the book down but it creates an uncomfortable feeling. Hannah’s not so sure, but nothing she says will convince him otherwise. Christopher and Hannah are a happily married surgeon and nurse with picture-perfect lives. A page-turning debut of suspense about a young couple desperate to have a child of their own-and the unsettling consequences of getting what they always wanted. When Christopher treats an abused and abandoned child he thinks she will be the perfect addition to their family. A Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestseller. Hannah and Christopher have always wanted a child but were unable to have one.
