Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.
Nora is struggling after another miscarriage. Her husband Tom tries to support her. And her college girl daughter is there for her. When they find a baby in a basket outside their front door they plan to keep her. But who is the mother and why has Nora been chosen to look after little Daisy.
What a whirlwind this book was! I was adamant I knew exactly whose baby it was. I am so glad I was wrong! The twists kept on coming and I had no idea what would happen next. I really liked the ending of this book. The perfect cliffhanger to finish off!
I have read every book by l. G Davis that I could get my hands-on. Stolen Baby was one of her best. Every character had so many secrets and told so many lies it was a wonder how they functioned and lived their everyday lives. Every time I thought I knew where this was going. It turned me in a different direction.
Nora and Tom have been trying to have a baby together for a while. Each sadly resulted in a miscarriage. Nora has a teenage daughter Izzy who Tom considers a daughter but he would also like to have one with his DNA. One morning the doorbell rings and when Nora answers she finds a baby on the front porch and a note telling her to take care of the baby named Daisy. Pulling together to keep Daisy safe, they navigate through all their lies until one by one they start to unravel and explode.
The story is told mostly through Nora's POV with a few chapters from Izzy's POV woven in. The story was so addictive and the writing superb. It was easy to devour in one sitting. The ending was phenomenal and so unexpected. I highly recommend this book.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the advanced copy
This talented author has written a page turner with realistic characters. From page one, this novel was intriguing. Questions arose. Red herrings kept me guessing. The story was one that could be nonfiction, sadly, but was fiction, of course. A story that was quickly read...difficult to set aside...I wanted to keep reading until the ending. Some surprises...Thanks Netgalley.
This author is slowly but surely climbing to the top of my favorite authors list! Witch each story she writes she captures my attention and I feel myself immersed in what she had put on paper. I cannot not love her books.
When I stared this book, I had a scenario in my head that fitted perfectly until it did not anymore. I though I had seen through it all and was waiting to see my theory confirmed.
Well, I can assure you, I had taken the wrong urn once again. :)
With one theory out of the window, I soon started a new one, and another one, and the next one, but nothing took me on the right path.
I love it when an author can feed me bits in order to make my brain go in overdrive and then prove me wrong and surprise me with a brilliant revelation.
Great, greater, greatest. I loved it so very, very much. 5 stars
Thank you
Great book. I could not turn the pages fast enough. Plenty of suspense with twists and turns you will not see coming. Surprise ending.
