Why read it?

1 author picked Little Face as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I was drawn to this book by the insight into the mind of a mother who swears that the child she sees is not her own, despite reassurances from her husband, friends, and doctors, who say it is.

I always feel a sense of heart-thumping dread as I read it. I want to help the mother, who nobody will listen to. I feel it is a great piece of suspenseful writing.  

From Debbie's list on mystery books that keep you guessing.
