Jenny has just given birth to the baby she’s always wanted. She’s never been this happy.
Her husband, Leo, knows this baby girl can’t be his. He’s never felt so betrayed.
The same night, a vulnerable young woman, Hannah, wakes to find her newborn lifeless beside her. She’s crazed with grief.
When chance throws Hannah into Leo’s path, they make a plan that will have shattering consequences for all of them.
Years later, a sixteen-year-old girl reads an article in a newspaper, and embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about herself. But what she learns will put everything she has ever known – and her own life – in grave danger. Because some people will go to desperate lengths to protect the secrets their lives are built on . . .
Emma Curtis was born in Brighton and now lives in London with her husband. After raising her two children and working various jobs, her fascination with the darker side of domestic life inspired her to write her acclaimed debut novel, One Little Mistake. When I Find You is her second thriller.
This book was phenomenal! What a brilliant read!
Jenny has given birth to her beautiful daughter, but her husband Leo knows that she isn’t his… Leo relies on his wife though financially so he can write his book and he loves her so he can’t say anything, but he is far from happy.
Meanwhile Hannah is a young mother in less than perfect conditions with no family or support around her and has given birth as well but wakes up to a lifeless baby. Leo and Hannah happen to meet in odd circumstances and the decisions they make have long lasting effect.
Sixteen years later and an article in the paper prompts someone to discover more with devastating consequences.
This is a great story of how two women’s lives are turned upside down one stormy night. There are twists and turns to this tense thriller as we see how things change over time and the lengths that people will go to to protect their secrets. There are times that it verges on becoming unrealistic but generally stays strong throughout. It is slightly too drawn out in places and you find yourself wanting to shout at the characters, but you will find yourself invested in the story throughout.
There are some very dark subjects covered and Leo’s character portrays very well how awful and despicable he is, a truly horrible coward. The other characters are flawed but, in some ways, relatable. The pace changes throughout the book to suit the subject and keeps you hooked all the way through.
Not quite a horror but a psychological thriller that will keep you up at night, highly recommended.
