Today I'm thrilled to share my tour spot for The Homemaker, thank you Bookoture for having me on the tour. The synopsis immediately grabbed my attention and it did not disappoint.
Synopsis
I pull back the blanket to take another peek at my beautiful baby boy. My heart flatlines. He isn’t there. “Where is he?” I cry, my whole body trembling. But my husband just shakes his head. “Darling… we don’t have a baby.”
What is he talking about? Stumbling to my feet, I look frantically at the highchair, the playmat in the corner, the sofa. I need to find my little boy.
Limbs like ice, I rush toward the stairs, shouting my son’s name. But my husband grabs my arms and gently reminds me there is no baby here.
I can’t listen. I don’t understand how our child isn’t in our home. I don’t know who could have taken him. I just know I have to find him.
Climbing the stairs two at a time, my hand is already stretching toward the nursery door, but my husband overtakes, blocking my way.
He forces me to face him. I think I can hear the baby mobile over the crib. I can practically smell the newborn smell. But my husband sighs and shakes his head.
He says it again, firmly this time, as a tear tracks down my cheek: “We don’t have a baby.”
I blink rapidly, my breathing ragged. I think he expects me to agree. But I know that my son is real. I can feel his weight in my arms. And I will stop at nothing to get him back…
An absolutely gripping psychological thriller that will have your heart racing. Prepare yourself for jaw-dropping, mind-blowing twists! Perfect for fans of addictive page-turners like The Housemaid, The Family Across the Street and The Family Upstairs.
My review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Three points of view start out quite unreliable, with multiple timelines.
Peyton, Jenna, Ginger. All neighbours with connections that run wild.
Jenna was booked into a psychiatric facility after the devastating loss of her newborn baby. She insists he didn't die...
Ginger's husband of 20 odd years is missing... or is he?
Peyton, the friendly, helpful neighbour...
You definitely keep questioning the integrity of different characters and even your own sanity here and there as your anxiety mounts. Who is telling the truth? What secrets are they keeping?
I did guess the twist, but I enjoyed seeing it play out.
I felt very sorry for Jenna. Her pain was so raw, yet she was so strong. She was my favourite character in the book.
Ginger was a tad unstable and insecure at times, but with an empty nest and missing husband, I can't say I blame her.
Peyton seemed sweet and eager to please, but pushy at the same time, using her niceness to her own advantage.
The ending was something else, and I have to know.... Will there be a revenge sequel?
