My life is perfect. Bad things donโ€™t happen to me. Until the day my daughter vanishesโ€ฆ

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 angelโ€”my kind, gentle daughter. Iโ€™ve fought so hard for this life, and every day Iโ€™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 canโ€™t happen to me. Not now.

I thought it couldnโ€™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 Iโ€™ll have to go to save my daughter, before my worst fears can come trueโ€ฆ

A gasp-out-loud psychological thriller from the bestselling author of Not My Mother, with a twist youโ€™ll never see coming. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Lucy Foley and Gillian Flynn.
