I stare at the newspaper article about a baby snatched from the back of a car thirty years ago, and wonder why someone would post it through my door. Looking closer, my blood freezes. The little girl in the photo has an unusual scar – just like mine. I’ve never met anyone with one like it. Is this stolen child… me?
Trembling with shock, I know I have to confront my mother. My parents got me through a horrific accident, helped me find a job I love teaching art, and even with buying my own house. But was it all built on lies?
She tells me the day I was born was the best day of her life, and I’m flooded with guilt for questioning her – but why do I catch her burning papers in the garden the next day?
Then I come home to find a woman sitting on my doorstep, covered in bruises and claiming she knows who abducted me. I don’t know if I can trust her – or if I’ll be the next to get hurt.
Because all the while, I’ve been hiding my own secret. Does whoever sent the article know what really happened the day of my accident? Desperate for the truth, I break into the house of my supposed kidnapper. Inside, I find a handwritten list of names. A shiver goes down my spine as I realise wasn’t the only child to be stolen.
Then I hear a key in the lock, and I know my life is in terrible danger…
An absolutely addictive read that will have you racing through the pages and questioning everything you thought you knew about your family. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Lisa Jewell and Shari Lapena.

First, I want to thank Kerry Wilkinson, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
WOW!!! WOW!! WOW!!! OH SNAP!!! Kerry Wilkinson DANG I smell Best Seller list for The Child In The Photo for you sir!! It was an incredible read that satisfied my craving for a good missing person case but in such an amazing creative and twisted way! Oh I must know how you came up with this storyline!! This is the best book I have read of yours!!
Ohh this book hooks you instantly!! This book is jam packed with suspense, thrilling and powerful ending!
Kerry’s book dealt with questioning who the characters really were and where they came from. No doubt about it that these characters were incredibly strong. There were a ton of hidden secrets, lies, betrayal, tragedies, shocking revelations, and heartbreak.
As you were reading this fast paced book you could not help but think this would make an incredible series on Netflix!
The Graphic Design team needs kudos for their amazing cover! I admit I was instantly drawn to the cover, Kerry's name, then the blurb. From there I was sold. The cover was just totally spot on to the main aspect of the storyline.
