Summary
"Oh my. A captivating unputdownable evocative emotional twisted thriller. Oh that ending.... OMG that ending did NOT expect that. It blew me away...." (Read Along With Sue, 5 stars)
"Don’t take my baby."
Kirstie Rawlings is jolted awake by a child crying. Racing upstairs to check on her newborn, she is plunged into every parents’ worst nightmare. She hears an unknown voice in the baby monitor, saying: "Let’s take the child - and go."
Is someone trying to steal her little girl?
In the bedroom, her daughter is safe asleep in her cot. Is the voice coming from a nearby house? But there aren’t any other children living on her quiet country road....
The police don't believe her. And neither does her husband.
Kirstie knows something isn’t right. She thought she could trust her neighbours, now she isn’t sure. As she unravels the secrets of the people living on her street, Kirstie’s perfect life begins to fall apart.
Because someone is hiding a terrible lie. And they will do anything to stop Kirstie uncovering the truth. But is the danger closer to home than she thinks?
From the top 10 best-selling author of The Secret Mother, this completely gripping psychological thriller will make you wonder what really goes on behind closed doors. And will keep you guessing from the first minutes until the final shocking twist.
Critic reviews
"Hooked from the very first page...I finished The Child Next Door in less than a day!.... I was left staring open-mouthed at the last page because I just couldn't believe what I just read...left me both speechless and wanting for more." (It's All About Books)

Dragged on
I feel like it dragged on and on until chapter 20 atleast without anything really happening. The delusions of a paranoid woman went on and on doubting everything and anything and the same thing happening over and over again. Was bored but listened as I was genuinely curious as to what the twist would be.

A bit drawn out !
The narrator was brilliant but listening to this woman’s thoughts going on and on was a bit much. Storyline was good but could have been over in an hour!

struggled to finish, very predictable
the main character was quite predictable, and unrealistic, and it was so annoying how her husband kept saying Kirst all the time
