The Perfect Mother- Caroline Mitchell-Psychological Thriller
"She thought they wanted her baby. But they won’t stop there"
OMG!! Sit down and hold on for the ride! Roz finds herself pregnant. She knows who the
father is but cannot tell her best friend Dympna as it would ruin their life long friendship.
She can’t keep the baby as she is out of work and doesn;t have a family behind her so
decides to let it adopted via a website that specialises in prime adoptions mainly in the
USA. When a “diamond” couple are interested she jumps at the chance. Dympna is
more suspicious and knows that Roz has had her head turned by the money side of things.
A diamond couple are millionaires. Roz travels to the states to meet them and then finds
that things are not quite as she had imagined. She has a luxurious apartment- in the
basement. There is no natural light and the only ways out are locked. She keeps finding
old celebrity magazines that appear to have been left there to warn her. What is going on
and will she ever be allowed to leave? I jumped at reading this. I remember reading my
first Caroline Mitchell book and being thrilled with it so jumped at this one and wasn’t
disappointed, There is the tension and suspense that you expect from a first class
psychological thriller, that unease that puts you on the edge of your seat. A plot that
makes you think about how much we trust people that we don’t know for potential
spoils. I liked Roz and Dympna had a huge heart. Of course there is a twist and I was
wrong the whole way. Lol! Just how I like it :)
A brilliantly written highly entertaining gripping read.
Book Description:
She thought they wanted her baby. But they won’t stop there.
Roz is young, penniless and pregnant. All she wants is to be the perfect mother to her child, but the more she thinks about her own chaotic upbringing, the more certain she is that the best life for her baby is as far away as possible from her hometown in Ireland.
Determined to do the right thing, Roz joins an elite adoption service and can’t believe her luck. Within days she is jetting to New York to meet a celebrity power couple desperate for a child of their own. Sheridan and Daniel are wealthy and glamorous—everything Roz isn’t. Her baby will never go hungry, and will have every opportunity for the perfect life. But soon after Roz moves into their plush basement suite, she starts to suspect that something darker lurks beneath the glossy surface of their home.
When Roz discovers she isn’t the first person to move in with the couple, and that the previous woman has never been seen since, alarm bells start ringing. As the clock ticks down to her due date, Roz realises her unborn baby may be the only thing keeping her alive, and that despite her best intentions, she has walked them both into the perfect nightmare…
