With a plot that keeps readers guessing and an underlying menace on every page, Jill McGown’s novel firmly establishes her as a master of mystery and psychological suspense. This gritty tale features Chief Detective Inspector Lloyd and his colleague and lover, Chief Detective Inspector Judy Hill. Dean Fletcher, a young man with a troubled past, finds his life shattered after falling for Kayleigh Scott, who misled him about her age. Convicted as a sex offender, Dean is now released and entangled in two perplexing crimes: the kidnapping of an infant born just hours after Lloyd and Judy’s own baby, and the murder of Kayleigh’s mother, Lesley, just before the family’s planned move to Australia. Lloyd is intrigued by Dean’s claims of innocence, especially as he investigates Lesley’s new lover, Ian, and her former partner, Phil, both of whom have complicated histories with her. Even Kayleigh, with her seemingly innocent demeanor, raises suspicion. With Judy on maternity leave, Lloyd must navigate this complex web of birth, death, and domestic evil alone. This novel captivates with its uncanny power and chilling credibility.
