Description
'Gripping subjects, brilliantly drawn characters and a twisty turny journey from beginning to end. A tense, thrilling read and definitely 5 humongous ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me' Angela Marsons.
Someone stole a baby...
One sunny day in July, someone took three-month-old Alicia Owen from her pram outside a supermarket. Her mother, Marie, was inside. No one saw who took Alicia. And no one could find her.
They silenced her cry...
Fifteen years later, a teenager on a construction site sees a tiny hand in the ground. When the police investigate, they find a baby buried and preserved in concrete. Could it be Alicia?
But the truth will always out.
When Alicia disappeared, the papers accused Marie of detachment and neglect. The Owens never got over the grief of their child's disappearance and divorced not long after. By reopening the case, DC Beth Chamberlain must reopen old wounds. But the killer may be closer than anyone ever suspected...
The latest crime thriller featuring Family Liaison Officer DC Beth Chamberlain, Hush Little Baby is tightly plotted, fraught with tension and impossible to put down. Perfect for fans of Cara Hunter and K.L. Slater.

Colette L, Reviewer
This is book 3 in the DC Beth Chamberlain series and fans of the earlier books will love this one. While I wouldn’t advise it, anyone new to the Beth books would find this works as a standalone. If I have any complaint about this series it’s that you get so drawn into the stories you read quicker and quicker and then you are done, usually within a day. The last few chapters of this one were nail bitingly tense. I really enjoy Jane Isaac’s style of writing and she is able to tackle some dark topics and still keep it palatable for the reader. I hope there will be further books in the series as in some ways it feels like we are just getting started. Highly recommended.
