PERFECT LITTLE CHILDREN

By Sophie Hannah

Review “Perfect Little Children” – Sophie Hannah

New York Times bestselling author Sophie Hannah gets under our skin in her latest book, “Perfect Little Children.” Hannah, known for bringing Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot back from the dead, has drawn a richly crafted, sinister image with her latest literary effort. In it we meet mom Beth Leeson and her perfectly happy little family.

Hannah’s compelling story begins with Beth traveling the wrong road in Hemingford Abbots, a small village in the United Kingdom, as she’s off to take her son to a nearby soccer game. She decides to stop by her old friend, Flora Braid’s, home. Not to visit, as there’s a painful history there, but just to see her. It’s been twelve years since they last spoke after all. But when she parks outside Newnham House for a little stalking, Beth gets the shock of her life when she spies an older Flora getting out of her car with her children. The children haven’t aged at all, not a single day since she last saw them more than a decade ago. Beth questions her sanity but cannot doubt what she sees with her own eyes. Young Thomas and Emily haven’t aged. How can this be? For Beth, it’s a question that will take her on a dark and twisty path.

Hannah shows her skill on each page as “Perfect Little Children,” for lovers of crime and mystery, becomes the perfect little page turner. Her talent at tension, and building upon it subtly, make this a great addition to the pantheon of great 2020 reads.
