The Child

Journalist Kate Waters dives into a haunting cold case when two-year-old Bella’s skeleton is unearthed during a London demolition. As she unravels the mystery, Kate grapples with her own son’s disappearance years ago. The investigation leads her down dark paths, exposing long-buried secrets and testing her resolve. Barton’s gripping narrative kept me up late, turning pages and questioning every character’s motives. A chilling exploration of motherhood, loss, and the lengths we go to protect those we love.

Secrets are like stones, weighing you down.
