In the vein of THE DINNER and WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN, a "bad seed" debut about a mom desperate to find help for her mute young daughter whose disturbing behavior is increasingly dangerous.
"Unnerving and unputdownable, BABY TEETH will get under your skin and keep you trapped in its chilling grip until the shocking conclusion."--Lisa Scottoline
Meet Hanna.
She's the sweet-but-silent angel in the adoring eyes of her Daddy. He's the only person who understands her, and all Hanna wants is to live happily ever after with him. But Mommy stands in her way, and she'll try any trick she can think of to get rid of her. Ideally for good.
Meet Suzette.
She loves her daughter, really, but after years of expulsions and strained home schooling, her precarious health and sanity are weakening day by day. As Hanna's tricks become increasingly sophisticated, and Suzette's husband remains blind to the failing family dynamics, Suzette starts to fear that there's something seriously wrong, and that maybe home isn't the best place for their baby girl after all.
BABY TEETH is a story about a perfect-looking family, and a mute little girl who wants nothing more than to kill her mother.

"A deliciously creepy read." --New York Post
"Deliciously creepy . . . the author keeps the suspense taut . . . offering a terrifying glimpse into the inner thoughts of a budding sociopath." --Library Journal (starred)
