Close My Eyes by Sophie McKenzie (St.
Martin ’s, July 2013)
Geniver Loxley’s daughter Beth was stillborn eight years ago
and she has never fully recovered, even though her husband Art continues to
encourage her to undergo fertility treatments in the hopes she’ll get pregnant
again. Her world is upended when a woman
arrives on Gen’s doorstep claiming to be the sister of the nurse who was in the
delivery room with Gen, who was bribed, along with the doctor, to help Art
kidnap Beth and that Beth is most likely still alive. Gen cannot believe that anyone, especially
her husband, would have been so cruel, but certain things are not beginning to
make sense; Gen, along with one of Art’s former primaries in his company, Lorcan,
begins to look into this woman’s claim and soon realizes she is not crazy, but
cannot believe how little she knows about her own husband and how truly evil
some people can be. Filled with twists
and turns, Close My Eyes does not
stop until it delivers one last gut-wrenching surprise on the last page.
