Once Upon a Lie
Clare and Lorraine have been friends since college and trust each other with their lives. So when Lorraine, a single mother, needs a much-needed night away without her children, she calls on Clare and her husband Sam to look after them. They're godparents - what could go wrong?
While Clare and Sam believe the children to be asleep, the unimaginable happens and Clare finds baby Theo lifeless in his room. The police are called. Statements are taken. But the biggest nightmare for any parent is about to spiral out of control.
Because a lie has been told. An enormous and terrible one.
This book really didn't do it for me. I just didn't find things very believable. You suffer a lateish miscarriage and then go and look after your friends two children, don't buy that for a start. I also don't know why they lied, the police new they were lying. Not the book for me.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for my ARC in return for an honest review.
