I had never heard of Sam Vickery before being given this ARC via NetGalley. It’s safe to say that she is now on my auto-read list—this book is AMAZING. It’s a 5 out of 5 stars for me, and I know it’s one I’ll be rereading. I looked at Ms. Vickery’s profile on both Goodreads and Amazon, and I’m thrilled (get it?) to see that she has an extensive catalog of published books.I was enthralled by this story. Characters are introduced slowly, and then conversations and actions happen that have you scratching your head and thinking that *something* seems off…but you can’t quite put your finger on why. Vickery does an excellent job of casting just enough suspicion on multiple characters that you don’t know who or what to believe. I cannot stress enough how shocking (and yet, somehow satisfying) that ending was!! Also, I thought at first that one very glaring situation had been left unresolved, but then the author surprised me yet again with the epilogue.To sum up, The Child at my Door is phenomenal, and it’s a must-read, even if you think you don’t like thrillers. I’m still reeling over here, when I should be sleeping! Well done, Ms. Vickery.

Thank you to Net Galley and Bookouture for this advanced copy of The Child at My Door by Sam Vickery to be published January 23, 2024.Clarissa answers her doorbell and there stands a child whom she has never seen before. He looks to be four or five years old and says he’s her grandson. There is no parents in sight since he was dropped off by taxi.I tell him I’ll help him find his mother if he’ll tell me her name. He first says, Mummy, but then says everyone calls her Chloe, and you’re my grandma.That can’t be true, though – my daughter died fifteen years ago the same time my son did. Or did she? Or my son?I was hooked on this book from the Prologue and couldn’t wait to see what happened to Clarissa, Chloe, and little Tommy. The story is told back-and-forth from two perspectives – Clarissa and Chloe from past to present and back.It also brings in the secretive family across the street and what ties they might have had to Clarissa while her young family was growing up.It is truly a “page turner” – one you will want to read from start to finish. It was my first book by Sam Vickery, but it certainly won’t be my last!#netgalley #thechildatmydoor #samvickery #bookouture

The book begins with a first-person perspective of someone having something happen to them by someone they did not think was capable before that moment. As the book shifts into the first chapter, we meet Clarissa who opens her front door to find a little boy who says he is her grandson Tommy, but she is confused because she had lost her children years ago, so this could not be possible. In the next chapter, we meet Chloe, who is Clarissa’s daughter and Tommy’s mother. She had sent Tommy to be safe with her mom because his father, Scott, was abusive to her and she needed to keep her son safe, especially after receiving a letter from someone who knew her secret… I cannot go any further without revealing any spoilers, but I can say that this book held many secrets with twists that I couldn’t have imagined!When I first began this book, I found the first-person perspective a tad confusing but as I read, it was easier to keep the characters straight, and discovered that perspective was important later in the book as secrets are revealed. Sam Vickery did an excellent job revealing those secrets slowly to keep the suspense for the reader. When I read a book, I base my reviews on several factors: overall writing, character development, believability of the events, and whether or not I would recommend this book to others. This one took me by surprise and the first few chapters were a little slow, but I am so glad I pushed through those because the ending to this book was nothing like I could have imagined.

I am usually pretty good at picking up on the storyline in the beginning, but not this book! So well written, even I was absolutely shocked at the truth!!!!This book gets 100 stars for being so excellent and for showing me I can’t always get the plot.
