The Birth Mother

She’s taking her child back.

My name is Lizzie, and five years ago I adopted a beautiful baby girl. Our little family has been perfect ever since, but when a mysterious woman arrives and introduces herself as Amy’s birth mother, all that goes out the window. I’m kind to Ruby at first, but the more time goes by, the more I wonder… is our daughter safe?

My name is Ruby, and five years ago I gave my baby up for adoption. I don’t care what the forms say – that girl is mine, and I’ll do anything to take her back.

Anything.

THE BIRTH MOTHER is the new psychological thriller from Bristol author AJ Carter, whose books are bursting with mystery, danger, and multiple dark twists.
