The Face At The Window by Ruby Speechley
They’re in your house.
They want your life.
And now, they have your baby.
To the world, I’m @HappyWife. Online, people only see my picture-perfect home, my handsome husband, Nick, and my beautiful baby, Thomas.
They don’t see the real Gemma Adams. They don’t see my past, the dark secrets I’m hiding in my marriage. They don’t see the fear I live in every single day.
But I know someone is watching me. And now, they’ve taken Thomas.
I just don’t know why.
But I’m going to stop at nothing to get my baby back.
Even if it destroys everything I’ve got to find him.
A compelling thriller, packed with suspense - fans of K.L. Slater and Lisa Jewell won't be able to put it down.

Review.
’The Face at the Window’ is a compelling page-turner that I devoured in one sitting. It built up the tension throughout the story right till that twist which I did not see coming!
Gemma has a perfect life. A beautiful home, handsome husband and has just given birth to a beautiful baby. Well, that's the view on social media. In reality, her husband is a brute and now someone has taken her baby and she has no idea why!
I truly felt sorry for Gemma and Scarlett. They were both being manipulated in different ways. I think the author did a great job of depicting the lives of both young women, especially the grooming side. It was clear that they had put a lot of research into the subject and the portrayal of both their situations was spot on. Out of the two main females, I think I preferred Gemma as she had to suffer through so much. Scarlett, I found to be very immature and manipulative in her own way. But then I think that was meant by the author. She definitely got reactions from me anyhow, which is a testament to the standard of writing.
This was a great psychological thriller that you will devour! Let me know if you read it!
