Synopsis

TV producer Fliss Benson receives an anonymous card at work, with sixteen numbers arranged in rows of four - numbers that mean nothing to her. On the same day, Fliss finds out she'll be working on a documentary about three crib death mothers wrongly accused of murder. All three women are now free, and the doctor who testified against them is under investigation. For reasons she's never shared, this is the last project Fliss wants to be working on. Then one of the mothers is found dead, and in her pocket is a card . . .

About the Author:

Sophie Hannah is the bestselling author of eight novels and is also an award-winning poet.

She lives in Cambridge, England, with her husband and two children, and is a Fellow Commoner at Lucy Cavendish College.

Review:

""The Cradle in the Grave" concludes in a fashion that manages to be both surprising and, in retrospect, somewhat inevitable, which is further testament to Hannah's storytelling prowess. The author has certainly chosen to work with a lot of ingredients here, and yet the subtlety with which she does so makes for a hearty literary meal-one in which each part feels as if it's essential. If good books are those that entertain while simultaneously provoking thought, then this one certainly qualifies...
