Format:Paperback
This book is unputdownable. Crime fiction is often predictably macho but this one combined an artfully constructed plot with a raw and plausible account of a young mother's psychological torment. It kept me guessing until the very end. The fact that it is narrated, at breakneck speed, by the lead character, Jess, draws you into her slightly paranoid mindset and makes you suspect, along with her,that anyone and everyone might have some involvement in the disappearance of cherubic baby Louis. It made a refreshing change to unravel the crime in the company of a vulnerable (and eminently fallible) young woman, instead of the usual gritty/flawed/recovering alcoholic detectives that crime fiction is littered with. I can't wait for her next book.

Format:Paperback
i loved it! i couldn't put this book down, and even looked forward to getting on the tube to work so that I'd have a chance to read it. A really gripping thriller, with so many possibilities you really don't know who's involved to the very end.
very readable.
very readable.

Format:Paperback
Lullaby is a cracking read. The characters are real in your mind as you're introduced to them, and the utter fear and gut-wrenching sickness that Jess feels throughout her quest is palpable. Claire Seeber paints her backdrops for the story beautifully, and the pace turns the pages quickly. If you have the luxury of time, read it from start to finish in as few hits as possible - it's annoying to have to stop and close this book, just because you really should get on with things...

Not bad
This was not too bad, took a bit to get going and kinda slowed down in the middle but redeemed itself towards the end...worth a read!

A book that some women might like...
The idea is reasonably sound, but the plot is pedestrian and the writing is average (women's magazine standard). The victim / narrator is neurotic. Read more

Emotional roller coaster
I downloaded Lullaby when it was on free offer in November 2010.
It's not really my usual type of read but it takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride. Read more
