Summary

Don't believe everything you see in the heart-stopping new thriller from the Queen of the Big Reveal

Please take care of my baby. But don't try to find me. You'll put him in danger. x

Profiler and therapist Kes Lashibi is shocked when she finds a baby on the backseat of her car, with an unsigned note asking her to take care of him.

Kes has a pretty good idea who the mother is - Brandee, a popular social media star with a troubled background, who once lived in Kes's house. Recently, the seemingly bright and bubbly Brandee's videos changed in tone before she completely dropped out of the limelight. Kes is beginning to understand why.

And if the internet rumours are true, Brandee's life could be in real danger.

Kes is torn.

Should she simply take care of the baby, as she's been asked to do, and wait to hear from his mother?

Or should she put the baby and her whole family at risk by using - less than legal - contacts from her previous job to save this young woman?

Time is running out for Brandee. Can Kes find her before it's too late?

This is the stunning new emotional thriller from The Queen Of The Big Reveal.

A Good Listen

I didn't know what to expect from this latest book as I was slightly underwhelmed with the authors last two books. However I found this one really interesting and a good story line, with enough suspense for me to finish in a few days.

Nothing is as it seems.

An intriguing look into a world of misogyny and deep fakes, that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

A Captivating Contemporary Tale with a Unique Perspective

A fantastic read! I thoroughly enjoyed the perspective of a Black British woman, which brought a fresh and insightful angle to the narrative. The book is highly contemporary, delving into relevant issues like social media and surveillance that resonate deeply in today's world. The narration is great, with compelling performances that bring the story to life.

The Title caught my eye.

I found the story wasn't easy to get into. I kept on listening to the story and repeating some of the main themes. Dorothy koomson is one of my favourite artists so I always read her books.

Every Smile You Fake

I've been a fan of Dorothy Koomson for a very long time, have read every book and this one did not disappoint. Mystery, intensity, controlling behaviours, plot twists, love and an insight into the evil dark world of deep fake that surrounds us all bound together, keeping me invested until the very end.

Great storytelling

Yet another excellent book from one of Britain's brightest and best authors!!! The social commentary was perilously close to today's world lifting the fictional into reality at times and with a family story strong enough to swiftly take me back into their world again. Loved the flow between each character progressive state and the points of jeopardy for each with the motivator of pure love behind so many of their actions. Loved it from start to finish💚

My favourite DK yet

What an excellent book from Dorothy. I've always loved her books but this one definitely stands out especially with the world as it is now. The narration was perfect. 10/10 would definitely recommend this book.
