Publisher's summary
The New York Times best-selling author of The Monogram Murders and Woman with a Secret returns with a sharp, captivating, and expertly plotted tale of psychological suspense.
All Beth has to do is drive her son to his soccer game, watch him play, and then return home. Just because she knows her ex-best friend lives near the field, that doesn’t mean she has to drive past her house and try to catch a glimpse of her.
Why would Beth do that and risk dredging up painful memories? She hasn’t seen Flora for 12 years. She doesn’t want to see her today - or ever again. But she can’t resist. She parks outside the open gates of Newnham House, watches from across the road as Flora arrives, and calls to her children Thomas and Emily to get out of the car.
Except.... There’s something terribly wrong. Flora looks the same, only older. Twelve years ago, Thomas and Emily were five and three years old. Today, they look precisely as they did then. They are Thomas and Emily without a doubt, but they haven’t changed at all. They are no taller, no older. Why haven’t they grown? How is it possible that they haven’t grown up?

Story
Carrie wants a normal life. Carrie Lawrence doesn’t need a happily ever after. She’ll just settle for “after.” After a decade of helping her sister hide her victims. After a lifetime of lies. She just wants to be safe, boring, and not trekking through the woods at night with a dead body wrapped in a carpet. Becca wants to get away with murder. Becca Lawrence doesn’t believe in happily ever after because she’s already happy. She’s gotten away with murder for a decade and has blackmailed her sister into helping her hide the evidence - what more could a girl want?

Kate returns from a post-break-up holiday with her girlfriends to news of a serial killer in her hometown - and his victims all look like her. It could, of course, be a simple coincidence. Or maybe not. She becomes convinced she is being watched, followed even. Is she next? And could her mild-mannered ex-boyfriend really be a deranged murderer? Or is the truth something far more sinister?

Lina Meisel, a retired librarian in Florida, is reading the newspaper one morning when she freezes. Her eyes lock on a photograph of a book she hasn’t seen in 65 years - a book she recognizes as The Book of Lost Names. The accompanying article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis across Europe during World War II - an experience Lina remembers well - and the search to reunite people with the texts stolen from them so long ago. The book in the photograph is one of the most fascinating cases.

An unusually bizarre mystery...
Though I thought the plot was a tish far-fetched, I still enjoyed “Perfect Little Children” by Sophie Hannah and expertly narrated by Laura Kirman. This suspenseful thriller is filled with unexpected secrets, intriguing events, and devious characters that kept me listening into the night. Laura Kirman's narration is top-notch, bringing the story to life with precision and flair. At $6.99, this audiobook was an absolute steal. I'm glad I discovered Hannah’s work, and I’ll be searching for more.

Excellent narration, enjoyable story
The performance was great — I really don’t understand negative reviews about the narration. If anything, the performance lifted the story. This is only the second Sophie Hannah book I’ve listened to outside of the Poirot stories, but I enjoyed both. Not 5 stars or anything, but solid and held my interest the entire time.

This storyline had potential but turned out to be a little shabby. The teenage daughter was very annoying I suppose that is a touch of realism to a very far fetched plot.
