EVERY SMILE YOU FAKE

Dorothy Koomson

Please take care of my baby. But don't try to find me. You'll put him in danger. x Profiler and therapist Kez Lanyon is shocked when she finds a baby on the backseat of her car, with an unsigned note asking her to take care of him.
Kez has a pretty good idea who the mother is - Brandee, a popular social media star with a troubled background, who once lived in Kez's house. Brandee recently dropped out of the limelight and if the internet rumours are true, Kez knows Brandee's life is in danger. Kez is torn. Should she simply take care of the baby as she's been asked, or should she risk her whole family by using contacts from her previous job to save this young woman? Time is running out for Brandee. Can Kez find her before it's too late? This is the heart-stopping new novel from The Queen Of The Big Reveal. Dorothy Koomson is the award-winning author of 15 novels and has been making up stories since she was 13 when she used to share her stories with her convent school friends. Her published titles include: Tell Me Your Secret, The Brighton Mermaid, The Friend, When I Was Invisible, That Girl From Nowhere, The Flavours of Love, The Woman He Loved Before, Goodnight, Beautiful and The Chocolate Run. Dorothy's first novel, The Cupid Effect, was published in 2003 (when she was quite a bit older than 13). Her third book, My Best Friend's Girl, was selected for the Richard & Judy Summer Reads of 2006 and went on to sell over 500,000 copies. While her fourth novel, Marshmallows For Breakfast, has sold in excess of 250,000 copies. Dorothy's books, The Ice Cream Girls and The Rose Petal Beach were both shortlisted for the popular fiction category of the British Book Awards in 2010 and 2013, respectively. Dorothy's novels have been translated into over 30 languages, and a TV adaptation loosely based on The Ice Cream Girls was shown on ITV1 in 2013. After briefly living in Australia, Dorothy now lives in Brighton. In 2019 Dorothy was awarded the Image Award by The Black British Business Awards to celebrate and honour her achievements.

The very definition of a page-turner, it's suburban noir at its finest.

An expertly-crafted rollercoaster of a novel that had me gripped from the beginning.

Dark and compelling... prepare for revelations aplenty!

A brilliant rollercoaster of a thriller about obsessive love and hidden secrets. Tense, twisty and unputdownable.

Another delightfully twisty thriller from the Queen of the Big Reveal.

Written with verve and insight.

Koomson hooks us from the very first page.

Just like Desperate Housewives, but even darker and more devious.

Another superb thriller from one of our favourite authors.

Queen of the killer hook line and master of the jaw-dropping twist.
