 My Review My thoughts…

The Child In The Photo by Kerry Wilkinson 

Description

I stare at the newspaper article about a baby snatched from the back of a car thirty years ago, and wonder why someone would post it through my door. Looking closer, my blood freezes. The little girl in the photo has an unusual scar – just like mine. I’ve never met anyone with one like it. Is this stolen child… me? 

Trembling with shock, I know I have to confront my mother. My parents got me through a horrific accident, helped me find a job I love, teaching art, and even with buying my own house. But was it all built on lies? 

She tells me the day I was born was the best day of her life, and I’m flooded with guilt for questioning her – but why do I catch her burning papers in the garden the next day? 

Then I come home to find a woman sitting on my doorstep, covered in bruises and claiming she knows who abducted me. I don’t know if I can trust her – or if I’ll be the next to get hurt. 

Because all the while, I’ve been hiding my own secret. Does whoever sent the article know what really happened the day of my accident? Desperate for the truth, I break into the house of my supposed kidnapper. Inside, I find a handwritten list of names. A shiver goes down my spine as I realise wasn’t the only child to be stolen. 

Here’s what I thought of this book without spoilers. This is also my very first book by the Author and I definitely plan on reading more. 

I was very engaged from the beginning of this book. Though at times it seem to lag more in the middle it totally picked up towards the mid middle to definitely the end of the book. The author had a Way of reeling the reader back in. I definitely was rooting for Hope and wanting her to get the answers that she’s so desperately needed. This book had its Jumpscares and definitely a mystery/thriller type of read which is what I love. I highly recommend this book and I definitely will not spoil the plot line. You’re in for a wild ride. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
