When a baby goes missing on a lonely roadside in Australia, it sets off a police investigation that will become a media sensation and dinner-table talk across the world.
Lies, rumours and guilt snowball, causing the parents, Joanna and Alistair to slowly turn against each other.
Finally Joanna starts thinking the unthinkable: could the truth be even more terrible than she suspected? And what will it take to make things right?
Perfect for fans of Julia Crouch, Sophie Hannah and Laura Lippman, The Cry was widely acclaimed as one of the best psychological thrillers of the year. There's a gripping moral dilemma at its heart and characters who will keep you guessing on every page.

I recently added the TV adaption of The Cry to my watchlist on Netflix and realised I had a copy of the book I hadn't read. I haven't watched the show yet but I hope it's as good as the book. I loved it. I liked the fact you know from the first few chapters what really happened to Noah but suspense is created with the flashbacks and increasing tension. Who is the monster. This is a corker.
