The Nursery

By: Sue Watson

Narrated by: Tamsin Kennard

Then: Morning light shines into the nursery, casting shadows across the pale pink walls and wooden cot in the middle of the room. She opens the door expecting to hear the soft coo of her daughter, Sofia, stretching herself awake. But the room is silent. The cot is empty. Her little girl has vanished....

Now: Twelve years have passed, but Emily will never forget the night her life changed forever, and she’s happy to have her daughter back beside her. A teenager now, Sofia, who was once a star student, is getting into trouble at school, and she’s started asking questions about when she was a baby, but Emily can’t tell her what really happened the night she went missing. Nobody would understand why Emily did what she did, and if anyone ever found out, she could lose her daughter forever.

But when Emily catches Sofia messaging a stranger online, and as she reads the last message received, her heart pounds in her chest.

Your mother isn’t who you think she is.

Days later, Emily returns home to find the house silent. She checks every room, but Sofia has vanished, again. She shudders as she remembers that night in the nursery. Has her past finally caught up with her? And is she already too late to save her precious daughter?

A completely gripping, utterly twisted thriller that will leave your jaw on the floor. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Wife Between Us, and The Woman in the Window.

Waste of time

Story is not what the title details indicate.
Main character weak.
Narrator is awful- sounds like she is reading a script the whole time.
I wish I had not wasted time listening to this.

The twists and turns

I loved the story but really disliked the voice telling it as she did not match the characters

not to bad

I enjoyed reading the book. held my attention didn't lag behind. didn't take me long at all to finish it.

Another fun mystery

I’ve enjoyed all of Ms. Watson’s books. A lot. This was not my favorite of hers, but still a very enjoyable listen.

Brilliant

Yet another superb listen by Sue Watson. I had figured out some of what was to happen but not in the way I thought and the very end just blew me out of the water. I wish this author had more books because I’m coming to the end of the ones I bought. Love her style and how she twists the storyline in the end. It seems there is always that character you want to slap in each of her books. You want to shake Emily over Nancy. Nancy is that character you just want to tell off and Emily to grow a pair. Can’t wait to listen to the next. The reader listens to one of her books and you’re hooked, you need the rest. So worth the listen!
