The Child in My House

If you listen in pieces — commute, chores, late night — The Child in My House by Lucy Lawrie keeps its place in this browser.

A family riddled with lies. A little girl who won’t speak. What if keeping her safe means losing her forever? Juliet only wanted to see her childhood home one more time–to look at it from the street. She never intended to meet the new owners, let alone talk her way into a position as their new live-in nanny. But it’s too late now to tell the truth about who she really is. Six-year-old Kitty has progressive mutism and cannot speak. Nobody knows why she keeps making silent phone calls to the police. Juliet makes it her mission to find out. As Juliet settles into the house, nostalgia for her childhood gives way to uneasiness, as troubling memories surface. She begins to realise that her new employers have a connection to her own past, and family secrets she has tried hard to forget. And she is horrified to learn that they have a secret too–one that could blow their world apart. Juliet faces an impossible choice. Keeping Kitty safe could cost her everything. Escape into this striking psychological thriller with lasting characters and an ending you won’t see coming. What listeners are saying about The Child In My House: “My women’s crime audiobook of the year–truly immersive and page-turning!”–Jane Renshaw, author of The Child Who Never Was
