Every Smile You Fake by Dorothy Koomson

By Pamelascott

Please take care of my baby. But don't try to find me. You'll put him in danger.

Profiler and therapist Kez Lanyon is shocked when she finds a baby on the backseat of her car, with an unsigned note asking her to take care of him.

Kez has a pretty good idea who the mother is - Brandee, a popular social media star with a troubled background, who once lived in Kez's house.

Brandee recently dropped out of the limelight and if the internet rumours are true, Kez knows Brandee's life is in danger.

Kez is torn. Should she simply take care of the baby as she's been asked, or should she risk her whole family by using contacts from her previous job to save this young woman?

Time is running out for Brandee. Can Kez find her before it's too late?

I'm a huge fan of the author and have been for years. I've read and got a copy of all of her books. I loved Every Smile You Fake. I liked the fact that the chapters have different narrators. I like this plot device. It can be a powerful tool when done correctly. It works like a charm here, gradually bringing the different plot strands and timelines together. I read a lot of thrillers and this ticks all of the boxes for me. I found it an engrossing read, fast-paced and riveting. I'd recommend it.

5/5
