Keep her quiet by Emma Curtis introduces us to a young couple, Jenny and Leo, expecting their first baby. Straight off we know that something is not quite right and quickly discover Leo knows this baby isn’t his.
Form this point on, Leo is a very strange character mixing a bit of genuine affection and flashes of conscience with a weak backbone and a total commitment to self preservation.
The story unravels to reveal a shocking decision and subsequent evolving Stockholm syndrome. The story moves along with tension and depth and the characters are well developed to the point where you can have very strong feelings about them. This builds the emotion and tension to a gripping conclusion.
Excellent read

She's beside herself with grief when she bumps into Jenny's Husband Leo in which they talk and makes plans with her... to find out that these plans have quite serious consequences to them.

This book was my first ever Emma Curtis read and I don't regret it at all, I loved how beautifully written it is and it is beautifully executed together from start to middle to the end. It was very edge of your seat wondering what twist will happen next and It made me want more cant wait to read her other books!

It’s not what you expect but this novel is pacy and keeps your interest throughout. Jenny has the baby she’s craved but her husband Leo knows he’s not the father. Meanwhile, a young woman, Hannah, who has been dealt a cruel hand in life, is grief stricken when her baby dies. Leo and Hannah end up in each other’s life, purely by accident, but it leads to a plan that will leave your mouth open in horror and surprise. When tensions rise almost two decades later, everyone is set on a path from which they won’t be able to leave. Truly surprising twists and turns lead to an ending that will make you look at your nearest and dearest more closely.

Read this over two nights. Well written, good story and good characters, but there were a few parts that to me appeared unrealistic - although it didn’t dampen my enjoyment of the book.

Thank You to NetGalley and Random House UK, Transworld Publishers for this ARC!!

Jenny has just given birth to the baby she’s always wanted and she's happier than never before. However, her husband, Leo, knows this baby girl can’t be his.

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.

I was attracted to this book for its premise and cover, and I wasn't disappointed. It was exciting and I was engaged throughout. I loved both the concept and the execution!!

Interesting read with a good ending and decent amount of suspense.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy. Very interesting concept for a book. This book had a lot of mini plots I didn't see coming. I did skim parts of it but the plot was good, the suspense was good, the ending was good-shocking!
