The Baby Monitor

I just finished The Baby Monitor by Rosie Walker and here are my thoughts.

Mim is exhausted. She just had her second baby and her husband is watching her closely. She had issues after her first baby was born and he is taking no chances this time.. so she Mim heard a voice through her daughter's baby monitor saying.. your mother doesn't love you... Mim doesn't know whether to believe her own exhausted ears.

Her husband doesn't believe her and Liv, her 5 year old daughter, doesn't want anything to do with her.. things couldn't get much worse.

Her house is full of secret cameras and her husband doesn't believe a word she has to say. Someone is messing with her life and no one believes her.. her psyche is fragile and she hasn't got the best track record.

I love thrillers like this. Ones where you always feel wrong footed right until the last chapter. I had no idea who was lying or telling the truth at all. I felt Mim was a very unreliable narrator but it felt like she could have been right and it was the best feeling ever! You don't know who to trust. It's funny because even at the end of the book I still felt uncertain and everything was tied up nicely.

The plot was great. I have a huge beef with those kinds of baby monitors and this really took it to new levels of fear. It was well paced and I never got bored. The writing was definitely very good and I liked the overall tone of the whole thing.

4 stars

Great psychological thriller
