Summary

An incredible new psychological crime thriller from the top 10 Sunday Times best-selling author.

A race against time to save her child....

In seven days, Maggie’s son, Max, turns three. But she’s not planning a party or buying presents or updating his baby book. She’s dreading it. Because in her world, third birthdays are the days on which the unthinkable happens...she loses her child. For the last 12 years Maggie has been imprisoned in a basement. Abducted aged 15, she gave birth to two sons before Max, and on their third birthdays her captor came and took them from her. She cannot let it happen again. But she has no idea how to stop it.

And the clock is ticking....

Edge of your seat stuff!

I really enjoyed this book. The story although horrendous for the most part is gripping and extremely well written. My only issue (all be it a small one) was I felt frustrated during the middle of the book as it seemed to be going nowhere and I wanted results. This of course is down to my impatience and a want for the a positive result. All in all I thoroughly recommend this book. Stick with it, I promise it’s worth it.

Alex lake nails it again!

I am a fan of Alex lake and have read all previous books by this author and always read them within the 48hours

Fast paced, page turners is what Alex does best and this one did not fail to meet the usual expectations!

5 stars from me for the audible version this time although I do think Georgia Maguire is the best narrator for thriller type books so she may of been better suited :)

Couldn’t stop listening

Best audiobook I’ve listened to in a long time! I would only suggest listening if you have time to spare as you won’t be able to stop. I was wary about buying it due to it being compared to ‘Room’ in other reviews, but I’m so glad I gave it a chance.
Gripping, heartbreaking and full of suspense. Highly recommended.

This was a good listen but it was just too cruel and sad for me.
