Can anyone help me remember who wrote this book... thriller about a woman whose baby was stolen at birth...

...she was told by her husband her baby had died, then years later a midwife turns up on her doorstep and tells her the baby survived and was taken away while the mum was unconscious. Of course, the nurse kicks the bucket pretty soon after this, which is extra suspect, so the woman goes hunting for her child, much to her husband’s annoyance. I think she’s helped by his roguish ginger friend. It’s a bit trashy but a page turner, I just can’t remember the name of the book or the author and google is giving me nothing.

Is it this:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Memory_Keeper's_Daughter

Any of Diane Chamberlains books? If not and you’ve not read any of them definitely try them.

I read The Memory Keepers Daughter years ago as a teen but can’t remember the plot at all.

Thanks but it’s neither of those. It’s set in the UK. The husband in the book had a sister who was glamorous and successful and a bit of a cow. Confused

Close my eyes by Sophie McKenzie. I knew I read this a while ago but I was struggling to remember the title as I was ploughing through domestic noir then and the titles all sound the same!

Read the book yesterday, very good but the last page let it down.

Can anyone reccomend similar books?

I ordered another of her books from eBay and really enjoyed it too. Always good to find a reliable author. The book is called Trust in Me.
