My review -
Shalini
Boland is the mistress of tension. Kirstie, on maternity leave, hears voices on
her baby monitor which lead her to believe someone’s trying to kidnap her baby.
The author ramps up the suspicion that Kirstie is suffering from post-natal
depression, being tense, somewhat OCD and believing the worst of a number of
her neighbours. The reader isn’t sure what’s going on but it’s easy to believe
that the new mother is making heavy weather of things. We have a tendency to
dismiss her fears in much the same way her husband does. But there’s more going
on in the house next door than even she suspected. A very satisfying story.
