Wynonna Judd joins The Voice! Star will serve as a 'Mega Mentor' amid rumours her country music rival Reba McEntire may LEAVE after one season I have enjoyed quite a few Sophie Hannah books and I love the way she writes her characters. Besides wanting to slap Beth at times, she was likeable. The other characters of her children and husband were also big parts of the story.

If you like books that make you think outside of the box and are mysterious then this is the book for you. It is beyond realistic but it is a damn good read.Davina McCall admits her relationship with Kylie Minogue 'is complicated' as she reveals why they are no longer friends after 'phone snub' Sophie Hannah’s Haven’t They Grown (also known as Perfect Little Children) is a dark, perverse and thrilling mystery novel that will keep you on the edge of your figurative seat. After Beth sees the impossible, little Thomas and Emily Braid frozen in time, she throws herself into an intense investigation to figure out what exactly is going on with the Braid family. Beth’s investigation soon draws the attention of her family, with her husband Dom and teenage daughter Zannah getting involved in the mystery. As her concern for the children grows, Beth is forced to confront the painful reason her and Dom’s friendship with Flora and Lewis Braid fell apart over a decade ago in the first place. Beth is an amazing protaganist – she’s curious, and she’s determined, and most importantly she’s relatable. Although the centre of this book is it’s mystery, Hannah still explores Beth as a character beyond her newfound role as an investigator – first and foremost she’s a wife and a mother, and a loving one too. While she and Dom butt heads over her immense fascination with the Braid children, and just how far she’s willing to go to get to the truth, she remains steadfast in her resolve – and thankfully so. My only question is where was Beth’s son? He has been mentioned to many times and we saw him at the beginning and till the end the book, he had no line. (At the end he didn’t talk, too and I though he was invisible character or there is something mysterious about him but thankfully he was real! What a relief!)
