Hush Little Baby
When she hears the baby crying, she knows she has to do something to keep it safe. To protect it from its terrible parents. Even though the father of the child is Melissa’s own son…
When Melissa Crawford snatches a crying baby from outside a house, she knows she’s done the right thing. She can’t bear to see the baby suffer one more day in that house, with those people. With her, baby Gabriel will be safe and loved. She is his grandmother after all…
But as Melissa is making her escape, she is involved in a terrible accident which forces her into hiding. She can’t believe she’s been so careless – now she has to lay low and let the dust settle.
Gabriel’s parents won’t care where he is, they’ll be glad he’s gone but if she goes to prison who will care for the little baby? Who will keep him safe?
But caring for Gabriel is harder than Melissa imagined. Why does he keep crying? Why won’t he settle? Why does he remind her of another child she once loved…and lost?

REVIEW
When Melissa kidnaps her own grandson, it becomes a whirlwind of a story leaving distraction in its wake. Told over two timelines one set in the 1970 where we have Nancy who seems to have a the perfect family life, a husband who is a respected Doctor and two children Melissa and George. Though behind closed doors the truth will out and Nancy is subjected to domestic abuse which Melissa see’s first hand.
The second timeline is the present, in which Melissa – who believes her son and daughter-in-law are incapable of looking after baby Gabriel – kidnaps Gabriel and flees to a rented B&B in somewhere in Scotland. But not without their being casualties along the way.
There was a lot of emphasis on how much baby Gabriel cried all the time, which I understand babies cry, but it was just a constant repetition. For the most part it slow and boring then there was a flurry of activity, follow by more repetition of Melissa’s past and the constant crying baby.
One think I will say, I was not expecting that twist at all at the end!!!
3.5/4 stars
