Two Perfect Couples

By: Renita D'Silva

Narrated by: Melissa Advani

We seem like perfect families. But our secrets must never come out ...

I trust my best friend Lydia with my life. We share everything, even the things we can't tell our husbands. So when we go on a beach holiday together, it's a dream come true. One night, we treat ourselves to dinner on the beach with our husbands while our children sleep soundly in the cottage behind us. But when I go to check on them, my entire world shatters. My son's bed is empty, the window wide open, his favourite teddy left between the crumpled sheets. I stifle a scream as my worst nightmare comes true. My little boy is gone. It's all my fault.

As the police question us, Lydia gives me a nervous look. She's the only one who knows I'll have to lie. Because there's something about my son that not even my husband knows. And if anyone discovers the truth, they'll never let me see my darling boy again.

No one can find out my secret. No one knows just how far I've gone to have the perfect family. And I will stop at nothing to get my son back ...

Critic reviews

'A delightful story, with riveting characters and a mystery guaranteed to tease and tantalise the reader right till the end.' (on Monsoon Memories) (Linda Kavanagh, #1 bestselling author of Never Say Goodbye)

'D'Silva presents Indian settings both perfectly and evocatively, as a native of that land would.' (on The War Child) (Historical Novel Society)

I absolutely love the build up

I really loved this book. A good mystery allows us to follow along in knowing blindness. I was able to guess potential outcomes as i learned more about the relationships but alas came the best twists

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a hard time getting into this one. I didn’t like the characters much. The twist at the end was super predictable.
