The Unheard
Nicci French

Poppy is a bright, happy three-year-old. Her paintings are full of colour and joy. Except one, a menacing scribble of heavy black crayon. Her mother Tess is worried. Has Poppy witnessed something, something bad that she can't put into words ? Tess is determined to find out what it might be. But no one will listen to her concerns. Neither Poppy's father, from whom Tess is separated, nor her friends, nor the police... It's only a child's drawing after all. Tess is desperate to keep Poppy safe. But when she doesn't know what, or who, she is protecting her from, how can she know who to trust ? And if Poppy really did see something she shouldn't, are she and Tess in danger ?
