I wake with a start from a bad dream. Anxiety clutches at my chest. Something's gone . . . something's missing . . . Beth . . . Always Beth . . .
When Geniver Loxley lost her daughter at birth eight years ago, her world stopped... and never fully started again. Mothers with strollers still make her flinch; her love of writing has turned into a half-hearted teaching career; and she and her husband, Art, have slipped into the kind of rut that seems inescapable. For Art, the solution is simple: Have another child to replace Beth. For Gen, the thought of replacing her first child feels cruel, nearly unbearable. A part of her will never let go of Beth, no matter how much she needs to move on. But then a stranger shows up on their doorstep, telling Gen the very thing she's always desperately longed to hear: that her daughter was not stillborn, but was taken away as a healthy infant. That Beth is still out there, somewhere, waiting to be found. A fissure suddenly opens up in Gen's carefully reconstructed life, letting in a flood of unanswerable questions. How could this possibly be true? Where is Beth? And why is Art so reluctant to get involved? As Gen delves into the darkest parts of her past, she starts to realize that finding the answers might open the door to something even worse, a truth that could steal everything she holds close. Even her own life. With Close My Eyes, Sophie McKenzie weaves a breathless thriller that digs in its hooks without mercy and twists without warning, confirming her place among today's most exciting new voices in psychological suspense.
Crafted with delicate intricacy and fast-moving action, the only book I've ever read that caused my daughter to ask, "Do you love that book more than me?" because of its ability to keep my attention no matter what was going on around me.
Gen thinks her only child was born dead, but eight years later a stranger appears at her doorstep to inform her the child was not only alive, but her husband was involved in fabricating the alleged death and whisking the baby away.
For two intense weeks, Gen follows up on the lead with the help of her husband's former best friend, Lorcan. The closer the pair delve to the truth, the more their worlds unravel.
With a haunting ending that you will always remember, this is definitely a book I wish I had written. ( )
Great book- hoping for a sequel to find out what happens to the boy and his plan. Thought I had it figure out but I was wrong- great read in just how powerful money can truly be for some people. I definitely recommend this book! ( )
