The Day I Lost You
‘I need to report a crime. My baby has been stolen.’
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 firmly 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.
So what really happened to Baby Sam? And who still has secrets to hide?
One child. Two mothers. And a past that won’t let them go.
Reviews
Thought-provoking, compelling and, at times, heart-breaking. Really kept me guessing, right up until the end.
Fresh, original, utterly intriguing and so, so clever. I don’t think I’ve ever turned pages faster to try to find out what was going on! I loved it.
A clever, compelling rollercoaster ride of a book, never letting up until its final resolution. The kind of novel that will have you thinking about the moral and ethical implications of a crime long after you've finished. Ruth Mancini is like a British Jodi Piccoult
If you thought Ruth Mancini couldn't top THE WOMEN ON THE LEDGE think again.
Ruth Mancini is fast becoming a master of the thriller genre - THE DAY I LOST YOU is a whirlwind of delicious confusion with everything coming sharply into focus at the end. So clever and engaging. I loved it
Ruth Mancini has done it again. Smart, twisty and propulsive, THE DAY I LOST YOU has all the elements of a great psych thriller expertly woven together by Mancini’s legal knowledge which cranks it up to ten!
A thriller you won't be able to put down.
