Dark, underlying currents
It's every mother's definitive nightmare to find that her baby is missing. In Alice Fancourt's case it's even worse, because in the nursery is an infant who, she claims, is not her daughter Florence - but no one believes her. Her husband insists that it is Florence, as does her sinister mother-in-law. Only DC Simon Waterhouse of the local police realises that something decidedly fishy is going on, and begins to dig a bit deeper into the family's terrible secrets. Sophie Hannah is an award-winning poet and short story writer, and for this, her first novel, she has come up with a chilling thriller. I was left thinking about the book for days, and that's usually a good sign.
