Usually I find Sophie Hannah's heroines intriguing: capable women faced with extraordinary situations, who want to find out, and who may not be entirely reliable. Gaby fitted the mould, but she was a little too cool, a little too capable, and it was a little too obvious that she wasn't telling all that she knew. And there was no one else. If that is the case, I wish she would.

Like Sophie Hannah but she takes a long time to get into her stories, lots of dialogue sometimes more than needed but always intriguing cases with Waterhouse and the gain on hand. This one was weird from the start I had no idea why Waterhouse was so into the mother of the missing baby and I honestly didn't figure it out until three quarters of the way through which makes it a good mystery in my opinion

New mother goes out to a spa comes back sees the newborn in it's basket and starts screaming her baby has been replaced with someone else's. They call the police the father thinks she'd delusional but they investigate anyway. Waterhouse is the only one who thinks she's not crazy. Got a bit strange when the husband started doing things to the wife to make her appear bonkers including not bathing and eating food off the floor very strange indeed.

The police (Waterhouse) eventually discover there was a murder and who done it over many chapters. The husband's behavior is never brought up again which was troublesome. It ends with a real twist and somewhat unbelievable but that's Hannah. She keeps you guessing and as bothersome as I find her writing I'm addicted.

Why this was a 'international bestseller' is beyond me. I read the back, saw the blurbs and wondered how I had missed such a gem. Just lucky I guess. The plot was just unbelievable. and the characters had so little depth that it didn't matter what they did, none of it made much sense. Alice is a wimp, Charlie is nuts--for no real reason, Simon is so confusing I began to think he was crazy and behind the whole thing. David was a mama's boy who turned into a sadist, then back again, with no reason??? Dead wife Laura didn't even make sense. What did she know and when did she know it--and why didn't she tell anyone? Sheesh--the only one to slightly make sense was Vivienne but then again--no not really...she was cruel, kind, all knowing, oblivious, steady, mercurial, controlling and unconcerned...argh. Also, with the way the book jumped not only between characters but points in time...obviously why there were dates on the chapters.
Just not much to enjoy here--

I really wanted to like this book. I had just finished reading all Tana French's books - which I loved - and I was looking for something in a similar vein. I'm not a big crime fiction reader, but I found all French's works to be really outstanding and I wish she had written more. I googled "books like Tana French writes" and Sophie Hannah came up. I was excited to see she has written quite a few books and I proceeded to order the first two. I started with Little Face and was very quickly disappointed. After the depth of French's writing, this book seemed really one-dimensional. There was no "meat" to it, just a bare bones story with very little character development and it didn't feel as though much work went into writing it. I found the main character, Alice, to be extremely annoying and I didn't like the other characters either.

I keep thinking I must have missed something because the book is largely well reviewed, but despite my best efforts, I could not like this book.

Set in England, the lead-off book to this mystery series has at its center a curious case. Alice, a new mother, leaves to go visit the family health club as a treat suggested by her mother-in-law. Her husband, David, stays with the baby on the family estate, while her mother-in-law is out of the country with the older son from a prior marriage. When she returns home, she is surprised to find the door unlocked, and when she gets upstairs to the nursery, she finds that her baby is not her child. Her husband claims that she is being hysterical, but Alice insists on calling the police. By chance, Detective Simon Waterhouse happens to be close by and takes the call. Without evidence, it is difficult to do anything but take a statement, but he feels like something is off in the house. When the Alice and the baby disappear several days later, the case is re-opened. We see that while Simon is bright and a good detective, he has some social problems, often smoothed over by his boss, Charlie, who has a soft spot for him, as well as a romantic interest in Simon. We find out that the first wife of David was brutally murdered outside the same home. In flashbacks, we see David's cruelty to Alice and the unpleasant attitude of her mother-in-law when she returns from her trip. The story is complex, twisting, and turning, as Simon tries to piece together what has happened both in the past and the present. While parts of the conclusion may become obvious, there are a few unexpected twists that give a darker ring to the story.

I'm a sucker for a British mystery with great characters. Sarcastic chain-smoking Charlie Zailer and frustrated savant Simon Waterhouse rub up against each other's jagged edges so often that sparks fly. That's probably why Hannah's series is so popular. But this story does something unforgivable - it keeps crucial information from the reader for about 95% of its pages! To say the ending is unsatisfying is an understatement. I felt cheated! I suppose this could be read as a case study in the unreliable narrator, but unlike, say, "Gone Girl", the reader has access to the narrator's innermost thoughts, not a diary or letters, so it seems patently unfair that we don't know she's lying, and acting. I love this lady's style, but "The Wrong Mother" (which is the first Hannah novel I came across, and immediately hooked me) is a much better example of her work.
