Autor Helena Echlinen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 ian 2025
A MOTHER KNOWS HER CHILD BEST. DOESN'T SHE?
'Brilliant and creepy, I wolfed it down! One of my favourite reads of 2025' LISA JEWELL
Charlotte's daughter, Stella, is sensitive and brilliant - perhaps even a genius - but after the sudden death of her babysitter, Blanka, the once disruptive and anti-social child has become docile and agreeable. And what's more unsettling is that she has begun to mirror Blanka's personality, from her accent and repetitive phrases to fierce cravings for Armenian meat stew after being raised a vegetarian.
Charlotte is pregnant with her second child, depleted and sick, and convinced that Blanka herself is somehow responsible for Stella's transformation. But how could Blanka still be entwined in their lives?
As Charlotte becomes increasingly obsessed, it's clear her husband believes this is all in her head and soon, Charlotte is convinced she is the only one who can save her daughter.
Told through a singular, chilling voice, Clever Little Thing holds light to the blurred lines of diagnosis in children and to the vital power of maternal instinct. Kaleidoscopic and tense, pulse-pounding and genuinely creepy, this is an ode to motherhood and a page-turner that will haunt readers long after its epic finale.

Praise for Clever Little Thing:
'Compelling and creepy, Clever Little Thing taps into the heart of maternal fear and will shock you in the best way. This one will give you goose bumps'
'Goosebumps! Clever Little Thing is a sharp and unflinching twist on mom noir - part psychological thriller, part supernatural horror, this is a perfectly unnerving story with something to say about the collision of motherhood's love and fear, maternal instinct, and the bond between mothers and daughters'
'Echlin brilliantly blurs the lines between love, possession, and obsession in this eerie, twisty story of a mother trying to protect her daughter. Clever Little Thing had me racing to discover what was madness, what was manipulation, and what might be all too real'
'Helena Echlin's Clever Little Thing is a cleverly constructed psychological thriller about the intense pressures of motherhood and the lengths that a mother will go to to protect her children - I found it incredibly moving, tense, and deliciously creepy, and I know that last chapter will stay with me for a very long time'
'Clever Little Thing is unsettling in the best way, a page-turning thriller about a mother's love and endless devotion to her child that is impossible to put down'
'A genuine page turner, I raced through this novel desperate to unlock the mystery at its heart, pausing only to absorb and enjoy the finely drawn characters and eerie atmosphere. Truly surprising at times, the novel is a careful exploration of domestic safety, the psychological pitfalls of motherhood, and the danger of losing sight of ourselves'
'[A] haunting psychological thriller . . . At once a propulsive page-turner and a thought-provoking exploration of maternal attachment, this is a devilish good time'
'Relentlessly addictive. Clever Little Thing and its characters are so terrifying because they are so real . . . It's going to take me a very long time to recover from this book. Stella is an absolute force'
'This book was so deliciously unsettling I never wanted it to end. A true masterpiece of the genre. I loved it'
'Clever Little Thing is a page-turning study of maternal instinct pushed to its absolute edge, rearranging my expectations over and over. At once terrifying and all too relatable, this book was so surprising and gripping that I couldn't look away for a moment. An utterly consuming domestic thriller'
