A Perfect Mother

My life is perfect. Bad things don’t happen to me. Until the day my daughter vanishes…

I am 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 angel—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 her bed, my eye falls on a threadbare stuffed cat, its eyes stitched with black thread. My blood freezes. Because I understand, now, who did this, and what they want from me.

And I know how far I’ll have to go to save my daughter, before my worst fears can come true…

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.
