My partner’s brother has just snatched my baby.
I thought I was lucky before all this happened. I have a beautiful baby boy. A man I want to make a life with. A gorgeous cottage in the Cotswolds that we’re in the middle of doing up.
Life’s good.
Then Ben drops a bombshell. His brother Adam is coming to stay.
‘Promise me something,’ Ben says as he gazes into my eyes. ‘Don’t believe everything Adam tells you.’
Ben’s not home when Adam turns up, with his waif-like girlfriend — and a suitcase full of secrets.
He looks me up and down, his mouth quirking into an amused smile. ‘You must be Sophie.’
Deep in my bones, I know this man is dangerous.
He says he won’t stay long.
But the lies come quickly.
First his girlfriend disappears — and I think he’s done something very bad to her.
I should have listened to my instincts . . .
Born in West Bromwich and with her family roots deep in the Black Country, Eve has spent much of her life ‘on the run’; she has probably lived in more houses in various parts of the country than most people eat dinners.
Currently settled in Herefordshire with her husband, she often has a houseful of offspring, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, partners and a growing tribe of little ones.
When not writing she can be found playing the piano, enjoying a glass of wine and/or reading, and has a particularly soft spot for historical and spy fiction.
My thoughts: Ben has a lot of secrets, but some of them are understandable, however his rather unpleasant brother shouldn’t have been one of them, dropping “oh my brother (the one you’ve never heard of) is coming to stay” isn’t the way to do things. And then the brother arrives.
Sophie knows something’s off straight away and it doesn’t take long before she’s desperate for the unexpected house guests to leave. But Adam has worked his way into her extended family and isn’t planning on going anywhere. Then his annoying girlfriend disappears and the police arrive. Things are about to get a whole lot worse.
Clever, full of twists, with a likeable protagonist in new mum Sophie and an excellent nemesis in horrible Adam, this is an enjoyable, well put together and engaging thriller.
