Publisher's summary

An incredible new psychological crime thriller from the top 10 Sunday Times best-selling author.

A race against time to save her child....

In seven days, Maggie’s son, Max, turns three. But she’s not planning a party or buying presents or updating his baby book. She’s dreading it. Because in her world, third birthdays are the days on which the unthinkable happens...she loses her child.

For the last 12 years Maggie has been imprisoned in a basement. Abducted aged 15, she gave birth to two sons before Max, and on their third birthdays her captor came and took them from her.

She cannot let it happen again. But she has no idea how to stop it. And the clock is ticking....

Best book I've listened to in a while!

WOW!!! This was so suspenseful it had me on the edge of my seat! No spoilers, but some parts are hard to listen to. If you can't handle abuse of any kind I do not recommend this for you. The whole time I listened I was worried the ending would be a let down, only because I was so invested in this story that I was depending on a satisfying ending and everything to come full circle. If it didn't I seriously would have lost sleep over it! I love a book that can make you fully invest in the characters and make you feel a vast range of emotions and this one certainly did that. Get this book. You won't regret it!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!

Love love this book! Seven Days is my first Alex Lake novel. Kept me listening all day into the night! Finished it in one day. I loved all of the characters. They were interesting, exciting and memorable. I did all of my house work, cooked dinner and ate my dinner listening to Seven Days
I recommend this book to every one who love mystery thrillers with surprise endings in a novel. A must read!

Great story

Loved it. Hated the British accent 🙄. Why can't we just have them read to us in American English????
