Mouths of Babes

by Stella Duffy

$14.95

Private investigation and motherhood don’t mix. That’s why Saz Martin has happily traded the mean streets for the mother and baby club. Happily, that is, until her past comes calling in the shape of high school friend Will Gallagher, now a famous TV presenter.

Saz thought the dark secrets of her past were dead and buried. But Will brings news that draws them slithering from the shadows, threatening the perfect family life she has built on those grave foundations.

For Saz, the first question is how much of her history she can hide from her partner, Molly. Then, what she’s prepared to risk to keep it hidden. But secrets have a nasty habit of worming their way to the surface.

Mouths of Babes is a gripping psychological thriller that examines what happens when we discover our heroes are only human. And sometimes a little less than that.
