    About this audiobook

    The first child was taken from her house.
    The second from his mother’s car.
    The third from her own bedroom...

    When Helen and Sean Philips go out for the evening, leaving their teenage daughter babysitting little Frankie, they have no idea that they are about to face every parent’s greatest fear.

    Detective Inspector Patrick Lennon is hopeful that the three children who have been abducted in this patch of south-west London will be returned safe and well. But when a body is found in a local park, Lennon realizes that time is running out—and that nothing in this case is as it seems...

    Blending police procedural with psychological thriller, From the Cradle will have every parent checking that their children are safe in their beds...then checking again.

    From the Cradle is the first book in the Detective Lennon Thriller Series.

    Mark Edwards

    Mark Edwards and Louise Voss met after Louise saw Mark on a TV documentary about aspiring writers, and a writing partnership was born. Their first two thrillers, Killing Cupid and Catch Your Death, were huge hits when the pair self-published them online, becoming the first UK indie authors to reach No. 1 in both the Amazon Kindle and Amazon Fiction charts.

      Loved it! Great character development with lots of twists and turns. A page turner from the beginning.
    • 5/5
      Great book. Kept me gripped right up until the end.
    • 4/5
      This is a good, solid thriller with a surprising ending.
      I liked the main character, and how it all unfolded. I'd never have guessed who was behind the abductions, and how it all came about. Great story that kept me listening till the end.
      Very well written and narrated.
    • 4/5
      If you want a slow burner, then do not read this book! Drawn in, quicker than a moth to a flame, from the very 1st page as we follow the team trying to get the three missing children back. Who has taken them and why? I read it at every opportunity in my haste to find out what happened. There are plenty of twists and turns, enough to keep anyone happy with thrills aplenty - a great book!
