Book Synopsis
I have to stay awake... I need to keep him safe.
I haven't slept properly since Riley was born. I love my baby so much - every noise he makes and every sleepy blink has me rushing to his side to make sure he's safe.
Yet the lack of sleep is getting to me. There are terrifying blanks in my memory, and my temper is blindingly short. I can't rely on my partner - I don't even know where he is half the time. But at least I have Maggie next door. She tells me this is just what new motherhood is like, so I have no choice but to ignore the blackout rages and blurred vision, for Riley's sake...
But after another night of no sleep, the last thing I expect is a police officer at my door. My neighbour has been found dead. The man I've been furious at for weeks for keeping me and the baby awake with his late-night parties.
Though really, maybe I shouldn't be so surprised... Because this morning, I woke up on my doorstep. And I have no memory of what happened - or where the blood on my hands came from.
As I hear Riley start to cry, I swallow against the rising panic in my throat. It can't have been me. I'm no killer, I'm just a sleep-deprived, loving mother... aren't I?
An absolutely unputdownable, addictive suspense thriller with a jaw-dropping twist. Perfect for fans of gripping page-turners like The Housemaid, The Family Across the Street and The Family Upstairs.
