<\/figure>\nThe Return of Frankie Whittle By Caroline England <\/strong><\/h4>\nCrime Fiction <\/strong><\/h4>\nPaperback published by Bullington Press 8th February 2024 <\/strong><\/h4>\nISBN 9781738444861 <\/strong><\/h4>\nPages 313<\/strong><\/h4>\nFrankie Whittle has it all: a career in the City, a gorgeous husband and a baby on the way. It\u2019s the perfect life, but it\u2019s built on sand. In one terrifying night, everything she has worked so hard for unravels. She needs a fresh start. When she discovers the very place she was born has been converted into a beautiful gated community, it feels like serendipity. After all she\u2019s been through, has she found her dream home? They say you should never go back, that the past is a foreign country, filled with devastating secrets. How far will those around her go to keep their secrets safe?<\/p>\n
MY REVIEW <\/strong><\/h4>\nI loved the cover of this book, the brown building with iron gates that drew me to this book. This stone cold, building looks like a cross between a prison and an hospital, a lunatic asylum here is where the unbearable childbirth takes place. These words can haunt you once you read them\u2026\u2026My eyes slide to what I\u2019ve already seen<\/strong>, yet not fully absorbed. Noise-cancelling earphones, a padded head restraint and blindfold, harness and straps for wrists, ankles and knees. I swallow hard. Though it looks more like a ward in a lunatic asylum, this room is a secret venue for childbirth. I gape at the leather shackles again. Why the hell would any woman agree to these? <\/strong><\/h4>\nAbout author Caroline England<\/strong><\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/bookread2day.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_7622-1.jpg?w=274\")
