Well written storyline with believable characters and lots of suspense. Just the description alone caught my attention and held it right through to the end.

The blurb on the back got me straight away. This book was a tense book full of twists and turns that kept my attention . It is part of a series but you could easily read it as a stand alone. Great characters that were easy to connect to. The case had me so intruiged and I couldnt put it down. I thought I knew what was going on but I had no idea.

This is a brilliant read.
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believable.
Great suspense and found myself second guessing every thought I had continuously.
Can't wait to read what the author brings out next.
Recommend reading.

This has to be Beth’s most difficult role as family liaison officer in the police force.  The subject matter is very emotive as the body of a baby is found encased in concrete. The police have to find out if the body belongs to a baby that went missing fifteen years before. 

As the police dig deeper they uncover lots of twists and turns along the way.  It was interesting to see how Beth’s forbidden relationship with Nick was getting along. 

Beth is a flawed Character with lots of problems and that just makes her more unlikely to rely on anybody. This crime becomes a little too close to home

This was such a great read, enjoyed it thoroughly, i was hooked from the first page, great storyline and loads of twists and turns , highly recommend this book x

I love a good thriller and this one did not disappoint! I am not normally a fan of procedural crime thrillers, this one was incredible!

Jane Isaac had a way of writing which instantly grabs your attention. Hush Little Baby was another nail-biting read. I struggled to put it down. I can’t wait to read more from her.

Wow!  When I logged this book into Goodreads I found out it was Book 3 of a series.  So, I bought the 1st 2 books as they had high marks and great reviews.  I was not disappointed!

Hush Little Baby starts with a kidnapping and disappearance of a baby.  The story then accelerates 15 years later when her remains are discovered.  The story winds and weaves through the families, hidden secrets, and tragic information.  

I love this series, I hope it continues.  The characters are engaging and keeps you on your toes trying to solve the murder.  I did not solve any of these murders correctly - the twists are that good!!

This is book three in the DC Beth Chamberlain series. 

Fifteen years ago a three month old baby called Alicia disappeared outside a shop. When a body of a baby is found on a building site is it Alicia? DC Beth Chamberlain is determined to find Alicias abductor? 

I can’t fault this author. She has this knack of grabbing my attention and not letting go until the last page. I highly recommend this series.

This is the third book in the series featuring DC Beth Chamberlain.  I hadn’t read the first two books in the series and did find it a bit of a disadvantage.  Beth is very dedicated to her job as a Family Liaison Officer and has been recently been temporarily promoted to Acting Detective Sergeant and really wants to make a good impression.  Over fifteen years ago a three month old baby girl, Olivia, was snatched from her pram outside a supermarket.  Nobody had seen anything and the police had no leads.  The press at the time labelled Marie, her mother, as neglectful and all the pressure lead to her and her husband parting.  Now in the present, a teenager discovers the body of a baby on a construction site which proves to be Olivia and so a murder investigation is set up.  Beth is called in as Family Liaison Officer to the family and as she investigates she comes across long buried secrets.  But just as Beth thinks she has solved the case another sub plot surfaces which puts Beth and her family in danger.  I think not having read the first two books certainly put me at a disadvantage as this sub plot related to events that take place in them.  Saying that I still enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next one in the series.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thanks to aria and the author for my kindle version of this gripping, heart breaking story, in return for my own honest review.

This book had me mesmerised from the minute I picked it up, it is the first book I have read by this author in this series. Hush little baby is book 3 of 3 in the DC Beth Chamberlain series. I toughly enjoyed this book, although it is heart breaking to find out what has happened to poor Alicia. 

The plot is very well written, I didn't guess any of it, and was surprised by the outcome, as a mother of 2 children I simply don't know how Alicia mother coped with the death of 2 babies, Alicia's twin brother died in birth and then Alicia was kidnapped and murdered.

i would like to give this book 5 stars but i cant simply because i think that the story to do with Alicia was over too quick, the last few chapters of the book had nothing to do with the cold case of Alicia but that of a personal matter for DC Chamberlain.

Hold onto your horses with this one, folks.

We start with the kidnapping of a baby named Alicia. Her mother has always been included in a cloud of suspicion based on some postpartum depression she had been experiencing, along with the grief of losing Alicia’s twin at birth.

This book was a wild ride in the best way. There is such a roller coaster of emotions that set in – I could not stop reading. I also kept thinking that I had the guilty party figured out – but I was so wrong.

(I was worried at first in starting to read this one since it is part of a series, but I needn’t have worried.)

In the end I was shocked by how the loose ends tied up.

I really enjoyed this book, and would recommend if you’re looking for a mystery to curl up with.

This was my first book by this author. I really had no idea what was coming next! Fantastic read. I will definitely recommend.

5 stars! A gripping and twisty story that had me hooked. I have previously enjoyed this authors books and this one did not disappointment. Highly recommend.

Gritty, hard-hitting and compulsively readable, best-selling author Jane Isaac does not shy away from tackling difficult issues in her page-turning crime thrillers and in Hush Little Baby she has once penned a shocking, spine-chilling and addictive read readers will struggle to put down.

When Marie had nipped into the supermarket for a couple of minutes and left her three month old baby Alicia in her pram outside, she never imagined that she would never see her daughter ever again. Nobody saw her daughter being taken. Nobody saw anything or anyone suspicious and with no clues or any leads to go on Alicia Owen had been lost forever. As the tabloid vultures zoomed in on this story, Marie had been depicted in the papers as a neglectful parent and the pressure had torn her and her husband apart. Nobody knows what really happened to Alicia, but could a teenager discovering a tiny hand on a construction site shed some light on a mystery that had destroyed a family and haunted the police for a decade and a half?

As the police begin their investigation, they find a baby buried and preserved in concrete. DC Beth Chamberlain find herself having to rattle the skeletons that have lain hidden in the Owens’ closet for all these years and by doing so opening a Pandora’s Box and unleashing a maelstrom of resentment, anger, frustration and betrayal. 
As Beth continues digging, she begins to get closer and closer to uncovering the truth about what really happened to Alicia fifteen years ago.

As long-buried secrets come rushing to the surface, Beth is shocked to her very core when it seems that a dangerous killer is watching her every move waiting to strike again. A killer who is far closer than she had ever imagined…

Jane Isaac’s writing goes from strength to strength. Hush Little Baby is a thriller not for the faint of heart, but one that is densely plotted, brilliantly written, shocking, terrifying and so addictive that I was still turning the pages of this book in the middle of the night.

A multi-layered, chilling and creepy page-turner from a writer at the very top of her storytelling powers, Hush Little Baby is the latest captivating thriller from Jane Isaac.

This is the newest addition to the series and I found it just as enjoyable as the rest.  Many twists and turns kept me turning the pages.

Beth Chamberlain is fast becoming one of my favorite crime Heroes..   In the third installment, Beth is still the family liaison to a family rocked by a past kidnapping.  It’s fascinating to watch her involvement with the friends, acquaintances and family in these usually tragic circumstances. Beth is an astute British copper with the proverbial bloodhound nose.  I’m loving getting to know her more and watch her watching them while also in a developing relationship with another officer that needs to be kept under wraps.. Now that he is her superior.  I always imagined family liaison officers were vaguely social worker types - this series has proven me wrong - while naturally empathetic Beth is a no nonsense bad ass detective.  This one has a complicated plot with a thunderous ending.  Great, great great!

Wow! What a book! Literally kept me on the edge of my seat throughout, and when I thought it had revealed the (very unexpected) baby snatcher, the story continued with another twist to the plot. Absolutely fantastic and very well written!

Vey entertaining read. I loved that this was a book about a family liaison officer. I have not read a book like this before (I have not read any of the other books in the series). It is similar to a detective mystery but a family liaison officer is somewhat different. They are more close to the family so I liked getting the feel for what this character had to do. I felt that it was very emotional. Just the fact that a 3 month old baby's body was found was horrible. Not to mention other parts in this book which I will not spoil. The author did an awesome job bringing everything together and the ending was good. Not to mention the shocker!!! I highly recommend this book to mystery/ thriller lovers.

Hush Little Baby (DC Beth Chamberlain #3)

Author: Jane Isaac

Genre: Thriller 

Publication Date: July 23rd 2020  

My Review: 
Hush Little Baby is a domestic crime thriller that is set in the United Kingdom. It is the third part of a series featuring cop Beth Chamberlain but it can easily be read as a stand-alone. 
Fifteen years ago a baby was taken from her pram and the unsolved case became famous throughout the region. 
Fifteen years later a young girl accidentally discovers a baby’s hand sticking out from the ground. The police find that the body is preserved in concrete. 
The whole of the local area is agog. Could this be baby Alicia? 
This novel is a great police procedural with a well crafted plot. It contains great characters: hardworking, brave Beth is a heroine and I loved the names and descriptions of the ‘baddies’ - the McNamara brothers and Jimmy Carvel. 
The only aspect I wasn’t keen on is the book’s title. From it, I’d never have thought the book was a domestic crime thriller. I don’t feel the title fits with the genre or adds anything to the overall package.
The book is, however, a real thriller which will have you turning pages well into the night!
For that reason I am awarding it 5 stars.
