5.0 out of 5 stars
This lullaby will keep you wide awake,
By Lois Lane "Ex Libris" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lullaby (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.

a real page-turner,
By iamamy "iamamy" (london) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lullaby (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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A compelling page-turner,
By Scarlett O'Hara (Tara, GA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lullaby (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...
