Alice thought postpartum depression was her greatest challenge - until she found her husband standing over a dead woman.
Motherhood was supposed to bring Alice joy. Instead, it brought isolation, overwhelming guilt, and the creeping fear that she might harm her baby. Trapped in a penthouse with her baby, Ellie, while her husband Max works long hours, Alice feels like she's losing her grip on reality.
Then one sleepless night, she finds Max with a dead woman in their living room. She calls the police. But they can't find a body.
They can't find her baby, either.
And Alice's husband now insists that Ellie never existed. That the baby is a figment of Alice's imagination.
Alice knows she's not crazy.
Ellie is real. Alive.
Her husband is lying.
But why?
And where has her baby gone?
From best-selling authors Nolon King and Lauren Street, Postpartum is a standalone psychological thriller that's perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Nicola Sanders.
Laure Street
Lauren Street has always loved a mystery. As a kid growing up in bible belt country, she devoured every whodunit book she could get her sticky little hands-on and secretly investigated all of her (seemingly) normal, boring neighbors. Sometimes, their pets and farm animals, too. All grown up now and living in the UK with her thoroughly unsuspicious (and often unsuspecting) husband, she writes domestic psychological thrillers about families torn apart by secrets and lies. And she still sometimes peers over garden walls to check up on the neighbors.
