Mother's Day: A completely addictive psychological thriller from T J Emerson for 2025

You won't be able to stop reading this pulse-pounding psychological thriller ⚠️ Must-read for fans of Freida McFadden and Lisa Jewell! Only your daughter knows what you did... 🩸

Grace has returned to London after twenty years abroad to manage her dying mother’s affairs. When she receives a blank Mother’s Day card in the post, she is confused and unsettled. Who could have sent it to her and why? She isn’t a mother.

Another Mother’s Day card arrives. Then come the silent phone calls. Haunted by disturbing flashbacks, Grace starts to unravel. Someone is out to get her. Someone who knows what she has done. Someone who will make her face the past she has run from for so long.

Can not having a child can change your life as much as having one?
