Review: Lock the Door by Jane Holland

Lock the Door by Jane Holland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While they are having a meal with friends in their back garden to celebrate their wedding Anniversary Meghan and Jon's baby son Harry disappears from his cot.Meghan is absolutely certain that she locked the front door but she has been a bit mixed up and confused lately due to lack of sleep and the stress of taking care of a young baby.

Who has taken baby Harry and why?,as the days pass and the police don't seem to have any idea who has taken her son Meghan struggles to hold herself together and with her doubts about the people around her.How can she trust others when she can't even trust herself.

Over the first few chapters the reader finds out about Meghan`s daily routines and her struggles with being the mother of a young baby.Harry has a life threatening condition and has to have injections everyday so Meghan is very overprotective at times.Her life is not made any easier by the fact that her husband is a major jerk.Once baby Harry disappears you follow Meghan`s desperate search for her precious son,my daughter has a life threatening condition so I could fully understand and sympathise with Meghan`s fears and frustrations as the days passed and there was still no clues to Harry`s whereabouts.

It's a fast paced,twisty,intreguing story that culminates with a breath taking final confrontation between Meghan and the psychopathic kidnappers.I would love to see a film version of this book and I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.

Many thanks to Thomas & Mercer for a arc of this book via netgalley in exchange for a honest review.
