I Took Her First

By: Samantha Hayes

Narrated by: Sarah Durham, Harrie Dobby

A gripping and addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist

A child is missing. But I stole her first…

I sit little Mila down at my kitchen table with a glass of milk and a plate of cookies. She smiles shyly at me and I reach out to ruffle her hair.

Leaving her alone for a moment, I dash upstairs, closing my eyes as I take a deep breath. What have I done?

Mila isn’t my child. I should never have taken her home. But what choice did I have?

Painting a smile on my face, I head back down to the kitchen.

But when I reach the table, my blood turns to ice. The back door is open, and Mila is gone.

I need to find her. I need help. But who’s going to believe anything I say when I’m the one who took her first…?

A seriously twisty, addictive psychological thriller that will keep you awake all night long. Perfect for anyone who devoured The Housemaid, The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train.
