The Foster Family: A totally unputdownable and heart-pounding psychological thriller by Nicole Trope
In their holiday home, a stone’s throw from the beach, Elizabeth dials the police with trembling hands. ‘My little boy, he’s missing.’
Elizabeth is Joe’s foster mother, but she loves him like her own. The five-year-old, who adores superheroes and watching the birds outside, is the child she has dreamed of. As she looks into thegarden, where he was playing just moments ago, her heart feels like it has been ripped from her chest.
She was meant to save Joe from his birth mother who almost harmed his chances at life. The woman who has been trying to desperately get him back.
She was meant to protect Joe from her husband. The man who, right now, lies to the police, saying he was making breakfast when Joe disappeared. Who squeezes her shoulder, ordering her to be quiet.
She was meant to look after Joe. They are just footsteps from the ocean, and little Joe can’t swim.
Then Joe’s tiny blue sandal is found in the water. If the worst has happened – the unimaginable – Elizabeth will never forgive herself. Because what if the secret she has been keeping for years, the guilt eating her alive, has somehow hurt her little boy?
It’s time to tell the truth – even if it means losing the child who is her whole world. Even if it could be the death of her.
A totally addictive, twist-packed psychological thriller about family secrets, a marriage on the edge, and the deadly line between love and hate. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Liane Moriarty and Freida McFadden.

Nicole Trope went to university to study Law but realised the error of her ways when she did very badly on her first law essay because-as her professor pointed out- 'It's not meant to be a story.' She studied teaching instead and used her holidays to work on her writing career and complete a Masters' degree in Children's Literature.
The idea for her first published novel, The Boy under the Table, was so scary that it took a year for her to find the courage to write the emotional story. She went on to publish a further five novels in Australia before joining Bookouture in 2019. She is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller in the USA, UK, AUS and CAN.
She lives in Sydney with her husband and three children.

First, I want to thank Nicole Trope, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
WOW!! Nicole Trope is back with another thrilling read in The Foster Family! She not only pulled on my heart strings but had me fuming mad at some of the characters. YES! I was yelling at my Kindle!!
Immediately the prologue intrigued me and pulled on my heart strings being a fly on the wall listening into the phone call. However, on the same token something seemed off.
Fans of all things bird related will enjoy a portion of this story.
Joe’s Foster Dad Howard rubbed me the wrong way big time and didn’t care for him at all…however Elizabeth was a different story.
My heart hurt from learning about Joe’s past with his biological Mom! Nobody should treat their child like that! I didn’t blame Elizabeth for hating Jenny.
The Foster Family is full of secrets, suspense, twists and turns, and shocking moments!
