The Day I Lost You


Overview

One child, two mothers and a past that won't let them go. A second brilliantly twisty thriller novel by Sunday Times bestselling Ruth Mancini. 'If you thought Ruth Mancini couldn't top The Woman on the Ledge think again' (SABINE DURRANT). Get ready for one of the most gripping psychological thrillers of the year, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Gillian McAllister and Paula Hawkins! 'Fresh, original, utterly intriguing and so, so clever.' ANDREA MARA 'A clever, compelling rollercoaster ride of a book, never letting up until its final resolution.' JENNIE GODFREY 'Ruth Mancini has done it again. Smart, twisty and propulsive' HARRIET TYCE --- All Lauren wants is a new life in Spain. She's suffered an unimaginable loss, but at last she has found a home in the pretty seaside town of Mantilla de Mar. Everyone deserves a new start, and Lauren needs to put her past behind her. Hope has everything- an interesting career as a therapist, an attractive husband, a dream home in the countryside - and, finally, the baby she always longed for. Sam. Her beautiful boy. But Sam has gone missing. So when the police tell her that a woman has been found in Spain with a child matching Sam's description, Hope thinks that her nightmare might be coming to an end. But Lauren is insisting Sam is her baby. She even has his passport and birth certificate to prove it. One child. Two mothers. And a past that won't let them go. --- Praise for The Day I Lost You- 'Thought-provoking, compelling and, at times, heart-breaking' ANNA MAZZOLA 'Ruth Mancini is fast becoming a master of the thriller genre' LAURA PEARSON 'A propulsive, emotional thriller' C. L. TAYLOR 'A thriller you won't be able to put down' Sun
