A gripping psychological thriller that I couldn’t put down. This book reeled me in from the start. I recommend this book to all psychological thriller fans.

Meghan and her husband have a baby boy, Harry, who has a life-threatening condition. While hosting a dinner party with the neighbours, Harry goes missing from his crib even though Meghan is pretty sure she locked the door. Did she really lock the door and why would someone want to kidnap Harry ?

Lock the Door by Jane Holland is a domestic psychological thriller .Even though I read a lot of missing child books recently Lock the Door had me guessing till the end and was an engrossing read

I would like to thank Thomas Mercer & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.

'Lock the Door' is one of the best thrillers where a missing child is concerned. A very well written book with plenty of twists and turns. Loved it! I seldom write what a story is about as i prefer one to read a book for themselves, but i do recommend.

My thanks to Netgalley and the Publishers for my copy. This is my honest review.

This is my first time reading Jane Holland, and it was amazing. It kept me reading into the early hours of the morning. I am not one to give anything away in a review, so you have got to read this one if you want to know what kept me practically glued to my seat to read it in one go. Brilliant writing and a brilliant story!

This story is filled with unlikeable people and I just found it more lagging than suspenseful. It's not hard to predict the ending. I found the whole book to be just an okay read.

Um. No. This book felt like a roller coaster that would not stop. I hated the characters and it to soo long to get to the point of the story and by then, I did not care.

Everybody knows about the Madeleine McCann disappearance. But its there far away, it won't happen to me, so why worry about it.
Until it happens to you. What now....
It was an entertaining, thrilling read, and I can't wait to read more of Ms Holland's books.

Meghan a stay at home mum to son Harry who was born with a life threatening condition, he needs daily injections and a clean, sterile environment. When Harry goes missing during a celebration in their garden with friends it seems as if someone managed to get through a locked door to get to him and to know to take some of his medication, As soon as the police come into it we become aware of the true extent of Harry’s illness and needs.
I felt for Meghan when one of the very worst things that can happen to a mother happens to her, she receives less than no support from husband Jon. I felt that he played mind games with her, using her previous mental health issues to make her feel at fault.
Conveniently and to add more drama we read that the Cornish baby snatcher is at large in their area and the police automatically assume that he has Harry. Meghan on the other hand thinks it could be someone close to her, this is when she goes into mama lion mode, she begins to doubt her friends and family.
I didn’t guess who the kidnapper was which I am always pleased about.

This review is following a re-read, not because I wanted to but because I realised that I hadn’t put a review on Netgalley.
Read for an honest review. Thank you Netgalley and Thomas and Mercer

Lock the Door was such a fab book I could not put it down, it's a shame I had to work otherwise I would have read this book in one day.
It's every parents nightmare your child goes missing, but he also has a serious illness that needs medication, will he survive or has he already been killed.
Just as I thought I'd guessed who had done it another twist came along that threw my idea out.
A great book well deserving of 5 stars.

This book had me gripped from the very start. Meghan's son Harry is poorly and she is a very protective mum. Jon her husband is a lawyer and not a very good husband. One night they have a party and the neighbours and friends come around for a lovely dinner. Harry is taken during the night and Meghan is desperate to find him. There is someone out there who is snatching babies but Meghan believes it's someone close to her. Who can she trust - a heart in your mouth read which you are desperate to finish to find out what happens. Great characters

A three and a half star rating.
It's Meghan and Jon's wedding anniversary and they have invited 2 other couples around for dinner. What should have been a happy occasion turns into tragedy when their baby son is snatched from his cot upstairs. The baby has a life threatening illness which compounds the situation. Meghan, naturally is distraught and is not helped by the behaviour of other people. I loved the cover, idea and that it was set in lovely Truro but didn't feel the same about any of the characters. Meghan comes across as annoying and wishy washy. A stronger police presence might have prevented her from doing stupid things. Take this book on holiday as it's very easy to read and not over complicated - just right for the beach!

The beginning of this story is similar to other novels I have read but there are twists thrown in throughout the storyline that makes this different from the other books. I enjoyed the writing style of this author and I was happy that the storyline ended the way it did and I was not expecting it. I read it in one sitting because I wanted to see how it ended!

I enjoyed this book, the characters were believable and most were likeable too. The storyline keeps the reader interested and was paced just right.

A chilling story, with a sinister feel which never left me. The suspense and tension built and built, reaching a thrilling end. Really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend

Wow! This book had me engaged from the first to last page! Hands down an awesome, suspenseful, and gripping story!

The story focuses on Jon and Meghan Smith and their baby Harry who is taken from his crib as the parents are entertaining some friends in the backyard (garden.) There seem to be a lot of stories based around missing children and child abductions of late. It's a popular theme and I think this story was cleverly written and got it right. It most certainly is one of the better ones.

Loved everything about this book. The writing flows so easily, it's suspenseful and emotional. I especially enjoyed that I could not figure out until the end what exactly was going on. That constitutes a great book for me. Highly recommend this one.

This was a great read!!
Kept me in suspense, characters were believable, easy to read. Finished it in 3 days! Would definitely recommend it!

Brilliant. This is the first Jane Holland book for me and although a slow start, so glad that I didn't abandon it. A very gradual build up of tension with a very dramatic climax that just kept me up all night reading.

Lock the Door had me turning pages and predicting what would happen next from the very beginning.

It is very rare that a book written in first person works. In my experience, it never works when it is used for a thriller. And this book is not an exception. I could not get into this book at all, the main character, who's head I am supposed to be in throughout this story, is simply annoying. I really did not like this book.

Pretty good thriller that's a fast read because it's a page turner. Meghan is a good sympathetic character. Holland has done a nice job of capturing her panic and distress, as well as her determination to find Harry. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC- this is the first time I've read Holland but I'm going to look for her again. It's always hard to write review of this sort of book because of spoilers but you'll like this if you enjoy British fiction.
