About this ebook

'Left me chilled to the core' Harriet Tyce
You shared everything for nine months. But you don't know her at all.

When Ali meets Rebecca, she feels an instant connection. Both pregnant, with babies due the same day, Ali can't wait to share the highs and lows of motherhood with her new friend.

Rebecca is everything Ali wishes she could be - beautiful, confident, wealthy. But Ali senses in her the same loneliness she's been feeling since moving to the suburbs. Maybe they can help each other, and Ali won't feel so alone anymore.

Then their due date comes and goes, and Ali hears nothing for weeks. Worried about her friend, Ali tracks her down and is relieved to find Rebecca safe and well. But relief turns to shock when Rebecca denies ever meeting her... or ever having been pregnant at all.

A truly unputdownable story about friendship, motherhood and how far we'll go to protect the ones we love. Filled with tension and mind-blowing twists, fans of Claire Douglas, Gillian McAllister and CL Taylor will love The Due Date.

A smaller scale story compared to other crime novels but still a great read. Ali and Rebecca are both pregnant when they meet and become great friends. Shortly after Ali gives birth Rebecca claims to never have met Ali. The events that follow and the mystery that is uncovered will keep you reading and wanting to know more. The events of the prologue feel a bit random at first but as you continue to read it makes more and more sense. While reading the novel there were many times I was thinking how the flashbacks and histories of the characters are connected to the prologue and what it all means. By the end everything wraps up nicely and you understood what happened. Definitely recommend picking this up.
