The Night Village

A gripping psychological thriller exploring the dark side of motherhood and the secrets that lie beneath the surface of a seemingly perfect life. When Australian expat Simone moves to London, getting pregnant is not on her agenda. But she's determined to be a good mother to her new baby. Even though her boyfriend Paul's cold apartment seems ill-suited for a baby. Even though Simone and Paul have only known each other for a year. Even though she feels utterly unprepared for motherhood. The arrival of Paul's cousin Rachel should be a godsend, but Simone doesn't trust her. Fighting sleep deprivation and a rising sense of unease, she begins to question Rachel's motives, and to wonder what secrets the cousins share. Is Simone's growing anxiety a sign of postpartum depression, or is there something more sinister at play?
