The Other Child is a compelling psychological suspense novel about creeping mistrust and fear of betrayal, from the author of the bestselling Mine.

Who do you trust when you can't trust the one you love?

Four years on from the devastating loss of their first child, Lauren and Alex De Vale are finally the proud parents of a new baby, Charlotte.

However, as Laurenβ€”who struggled to bond with her late sonβ€”returns to work, she is riddled with anxiety. She knows all too well that one little mistake can lead to tragedy. What if something terrible happens to Charlotte while she's not there?

Fear, grief and guilt make for a potent mix. And all it takes is one neighbour's offhand comment to spark Lauren's worst fearsβ€”and deep-seated suspicions.
