When the worst comes calling…
Scott and Blair Bagby are a happy, successful English couple living in the suburbs with their teenage son and Great Dane. Life seems good, until one beautiful spring morning when a detective inspector knocks on their door asking if their son is home, unleashing an unspeakable horror that blows apart the life they thought they had.
Police have discovered bodies buried deep in the Peasedale forest and the inspector suspects one is Jamie, the final victim of a brutal and prolific serial killer. But Jamie’s death is unlike all the others, starting with his emergency phone call that leads to a macabre burial ground near a dilapidated hunting shack and creates shocking suspicions.
With bone deep grief threatening to destroy their marriage and their sanity, Scott and Blair set out to investigate Jamie’s death, a journey that not only upends their perceptions of who they are, but torturously reveals they may not have known Jamie at all…

This was a book I really wanted to read as soon as I saw the cover and read THAT blurb! It’s just every parent’s nightmare and with having three kids (technically 2 are adults!) I truly felt for Scott and Blair.
It’s a situation no one wants to be in ever, and the thought of it had chills down my spine straight away. Heidi Field deals with all this emotion, terror, and disbelief so cleverly. I really could not get enough of this one. The short chapters just keep you so gripped from start to finish.
The suspense level was just right. I had to keep flipping those pages to find out everything. Told from the viewpoint of Scott and Blair, so I got the whole picture from their perspectives anyway! It’s so worth reading! I would definitely recommend The Other Boy to anyone who loves a twisty, chilling thriller!
