She Calls Me Mum

About this book

Claire Mercer has never had a daughter.

So when a primary school calls to say an eight-year-old girl is waiting for her mother — and gives Claire’s name — there must be a mistake.

But when Claire arrives, the child runs straight to her and calls her Mum. She knows Claire’s address. She knows her husband. And Claire’s name and number are on the girl’s emergency contact record, updated that very morning.

What begins as an impossible mistake quickly becomes something far more disturbing.

As Claire searches for answers, she uncovers altered records, hidden identities, buried secrets and a trail leading back to something called Bluebell.

Someone stole a child. Someone built a lie around her. And someone is still willing to kill to keep the truth hidden.

The deeper Claire digs, the less she can trust the people around her — and the more frightening the evidence becomes.

Because the little girl may be telling the truth. And if she is, Claire’s entire life has been built on a secret someone never wanted her to remember.

She Calls Me Mum is a tense psychological thriller packed with family secrets, deception, missing children, shocking revelations and twists that continue right to the final pages.

Book One of The Bluebell Files.
