When the worst comes calling…
Scott and Blair Bagby are a happy, successful English couple living in the suburbs with their teenage son and Great Dane. Life seems good, until one beautiful spring morning when a detective inspector knocks on their door asking if their son is home, unleashing an unspeakable horror that blows apart the life they thought they had.
Police have discovered bodies buried deep in the Peasedale forest and the inspector suspects one is Jamie, the final victim of a brutal and prolific serial killer. But Jamie’s death is unlike all the others, starting with his emergency phone call that leads to a macabre burial ground near a dilapidated hunting shack and creates shocking suspicions.
With bone deep grief threatening to destroy their marriage and their sanity, Scott and Blair set out to investigate Jamie’s death, a journey that not only upends their perceptions of who they are, but torturously reveals they may not have known Jamie at all…
Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Gillian McAllister, and The Couple Next Door, The Other Boy is a dark psychological thriller about grief, guilt, and the devastating fear of discovering you never truly knew your child.

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book
First, I want to thank Heidi Field, Tule Publishing and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
For once a book has made me speechless! Hold your kids a little tighter as The Other Boy by Heidi Field is every parent's worst nightmare come true and then some!! This is one of the most intensely emotional and mentally that pulled me in so hard into the storyline. Usually, I can binge read a book but this one I had to let it marinate with me over a few days before I could finish it. It was just mind blowing and so out of the box compared to other stories! For this reason Heidi has a new fan, it gets 5 stars and The Other Boy is now my new favorite book of 2026!!
The Other Boy is fast paced, addicting, gripping, twisted, secrets, revelations, betrayals, heartache, graphic scenes, full of suspense, and so much more!!
My heart totally ached for Blair who we both found out together that she lost her son. Having lost someone very dear to me a year ago I could understand and sympathize with her on many levels. I love how she was able to see and hear Jamie (her late son) around her. In a way it gave her peace.
Now, if you like this book you are in for a treat because I know for fact she has two other books in the series coming up. The Other Mother is next in the series!! Oh I have not been this excited to read or invested in a series since Gregg Olson’s Detective Meghan Carpenter’s series. That was an intense series that was also written like it could have been ripped from a headline.
