Stolen: A gripping psychological thriller filled with family secrets from Ruby Speechley

Don't miss this gripping, twisty psychological thriller, perfect for fans of K.L. Slater, J D Kirk and Freida McFadden 📚 He's been in my house.

He's taken my children.

What am I to do?

Vicki has done everything to protect her children. Their father was out of control – every day, his life embroiled in lies, drugs, chaos. So she cut him off, for good.

But when she comes home to a distraught babysitter, panic hits.

The kids are gone. And Lee says he’s not bringing them back.

Vicki can see how he persuaded the babysitter – Jess is young. Naïve. Easy to manipulate. The perfect pawn in his twisted plan.

But then Jess disappears too.

Is this just a father trying to take back what’s his? Or has something much darker wormed its way into her perfect family?
