Sweet Child Of Mine
(2026)(The fourth book in the Holidays & Homicide series)
A novel by Kristin Mulligan
Sweet Child Of Mine is a Mother’s Day psychological thriller in which one woman’s worst nightmare comes true when her daughter goes missing just weeks before her first birthday.
Blair has everything she wants in Seaborough Bluff: a thriving surgical career, a devoted husband, and a daughter just weeks away from her first birthday. Then, in a single night, everything unravels.
Her baby is stolen from her crib—replaced by a chilling note:
We have your daughter. Await instructions. Do not call the police or she will die.
The demand is unthinkable. Blair must deliberately sabotage a patient’s surgery, trading another innocent life for her child’s. Bound by her oath and driven by maternal instinct, Blair realizes every choice is dragging her deeper into a nightmare with no clean way out.
When the operation ends, Blair learns her decision didn’t just cost one life. It fractures families, destroys futures, and unleashes a chain of accidents, betrayals, and irreversible losses that spread far beyond the operating room.
Over the course of two harrowing weeks, what began as an act of desperate love becomes the force that threatens to consume everyone she touches, including herself.
Each book in the Holidays & Homicide series can be read as a standalone.
Genre: Mystery
