Summary

I place my tiny, newborn baby in the box. A ‘safe haven’, they call it, for unwanted babies. She’ll be warm, someone will find her soon. She’ll be cared for. But not by me. I will always want her, but I can never be her mother. And she can never know why.

Jenna has never truly known who she is or where she came from. Abandoned as a baby, she grew up with a caring adopted family, and never felt the need to know more about her birth parents. Until one night, nearly thirty years later, when she sees a desperate young woman tearfully kiss her little baby, put it gently down in a safe haven box, and walk away.

In that moment, Jenna’s mind starts to race. Who could abandon their child like that, and why? She may never find her own parents, but Jenna is determined to uncover the truth behind this baby’s missing mother. Because Jenna has a terrible feeling that she knows who the mother is, and what happened…

As Jenna digs deeper she uncovers something–someone–far more dangerous than she ever feared. And the secrets they’re hiding are much bigger than just one night, just one woman, just one baby. But what Jenna hasn’t realized is that they know what she’s doing and they are watching her. Whatever the cost, they’ll do anything to keep Jenna from revealing the truth…

This utterly addictive psychological thriller will have you listening late into the night. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell and Claire McGowan.

Not one of my favourites from Casey

Reviewing this book on behalf of Bookouture - listened to it on Audible.

Found this book a struggle to get through.

i have nothing to bad to say about the book its just not the type of storyline i enjoy obviously.

It explores the up to date subject of drink spiking which could be triggering for some.

I enjoyed the ending, even though i predicted the twists pretty much from the start of the book.

I like Casey Kellaher as an author and i will carry on reading her books, this one just didn't grab me

Intriguing from the start

with a terrific narrator and ripped-from-the-headlines story. I devoured this well plotted and twisty story in one day via audible. Definitely recommend.
