"In this riveting psychological suspense debut, a young mother's worst nightmare becomes devastatingly real: First I remember the darkness. Then I remember the blood. I don't know where my daughter is. Estelle Paradise wakes up in a hospital after being found near dead at the bottom of a ravine with a fragmented memory and a vague sense of loss. Then a terrifying reality sets in: her daughter is missing. Days earlier, Estelle discovered her baby's crib empty in their Brooklyn apartment. There was no sign of a break-in, but all traces of seven-month-old Mia had disappeared. Her diapers, her clothes, her bottles-all gone. Frustrated and unable to explain her daughter's disappearance, Estelle begins a desperate search. But when the lack of evidence casts doubt on her story, Estelle becomes the number one suspect in the eyes of the police and the media. As hope of reuniting with Mia becomes all she has left, Estelle will do anything to find answers: What has she done to her baby? And what has someone else done to her? "--… (més)

A baby goes missing. But does her mother want her back? When Estelle's baby daughter is taken from her cot, she doesn't report her missing. Days later, Estelle is found in a wrecked car, with a wound to her head and no memory. Estelle knows she holds the key to what happened that night - but what she doesn't know is whether she was responsible...

I quite enjoyed this, it was a relatively quick read but I didn't really warm to Estelle or Jack. Estelle has a bit of a chip on her shoulder and expects to fail at everything so she doesn't realise that she is suffering from post-partum depression until it is too late. Jack was a bit of a cold fish and doesn't really appear much in the book, I questioned whether he was even bothered that his daughter had gone missing.

I found it well written although sometimes I felt like it was a bit padded with more words than were necessary, for example: "something had gone amiss, had gone awry" - which is basically the same thing. I think Alexandra Burt has chosen a difficult subject to write about, not only a child going missing but a mother suffering from post-partum depression. The description of the effect of post-partum depression was written brilliantly and I think it was important to emphasise the help that psychiatric professionals can give in such cases, as people shouldn't suffer alone.

The story of the baby going missing is the main point of the book and I thought the addition of a few news articles within the book was a great idea. I read the book quickly as I wanted to find out what had happened to Mia so the hook was there and I continued to be intrigued during Estelle's search for the truth. The ending wasn't a disappointment, in fact I think it showed how far Estelle had come in her therapy - she never gave up looking for her daughter.

I did enjoy the book and I think it was a fascinating psychological analysis of a damaged young woman as she attempted to adapt to married life and motherhood.

I received this e-book from the publisher, Avon, via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't finish this because it was poorly realized. It was convoluted, and characters didn't behave in a realistic manner. The ending (yes I skipped ahead) was equally as stupid and implausible. ( )

Estelle Paradise erwacht schwer verletzt im Krankenhaus und kann sich nicht erinnern. Aber sie will wissen, wo ihre Tochter Mia ist. Man hat Estelle weit von zu Hause mit ihrem Wagen in einer Schlucht gefunden. Außerdem hat sie Schussverletzungen. Doch Mia war nicht im Wagen. Schon bald wird Estelle verdächtigt, dass sie selbst ihre kleine Tochter beseitigt hat.
Ich kann die Gefühle von Estelle ein Stück weit nachvollziehen, aber sie wirkt auf mich überspannt und hysterisch. Schon während der Schwangerschaft will sie jede Menge unnötiger Untersuchungen, welche die Ärzte ablehnen, da es dem Kind gut geht. Dann ist Mia da und Estelle gerät wohl ein wenig in Wochenbettdepressionen, die sich aber nicht bessern, da das Kind ständig schreit – allerdings nur bei Estelle. Sie fühlt sich überfordert. Ihr Mann Jack ist ihr auch keine Unterstützung, für ihn läuft alles normal, aber er ist auch kaum zu Hause. Seine Spekulationen sind nicht aufgegangen, er nimmt einen neuen Job an und lebt dann am Ort seines Jobs.
Als Estelle im Krankenhaus aufwacht, ist ihr Jack auch keine Hilfe. Er macht ihr Vorwürfe, weil sie ihm nicht Bescheid gab, dass Mia verschwunden ist. Es ist natürlich merkwürdig, wie Estelle sich verhalten hat, aber in der Situation benötigt sie Unterstützung und keine Vorwürfe.
Natürlich hat die Polizei sehr bald Estelle im Verdacht, aber die ist felsenfest davon überzeugt, dass man ihr Baby entführt hat. Doch sie gibt nicht auf und kämpft wie eine Löwin um ihr Kind und damit wurde ihr Verhalten verständlicher.
Durch Estelles Erinnerungsfetzen ergibt sich ein Bild, da für mich ziemlich widersprüchlich ist. Was ist Estelles Fantasie zuzuschreiben und was ist Realität?
Das Buch liest sich gut und flüssig, aber mir fehlt der Thrill bei dieser Geschichte. Auch das Ende hat mich nicht vollkommen überzeugt.
Das Buch hat mich nicht gepackt. ( )

La storia non è male, un po' troppo lunghe le divagazioni mentali della protagonista. Però c'è un buco terribile nella trama. Quando lei si reca a casa dei Lieberman viene chiamata la polizia e viene identificata con i documenti. La scomparsa della bambina provoca un enorme clamore mediatico quindi TUTTI conoscono il suo nome e la sua storia. Possibile che i poliziotti che sono intervenuti a casa dei Lieberman non ricordino il fatto? Odio i gialli thriller con delle incongruenze così grandi nella trama. ( )
