Publisher's Synopsis
A murder. Ten witnesses. But no one saw a thing...
'Sharp, original, wickedly astute' Ashley Audrain, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Push
'Deliciously dark, Baker's novel exposes all the little horrors of motherhood.' Kirsten Miller, author of The Change
In an attempt to reclaim their identities which have been consumed by motherhood, Darby, Mary Beth and Rhea find themselves on personal quests.
However, these quests are soon disrupted by their children when an unsettling medical condition begins to go around the Little Academy preschool: the kids are craving blood.
Then a young teacher is found murdered, and the only witnesses are ten adorable four-year-olds. But as the police draw closer to the truth, it soon becomes clear that the children aren't just witnesses, they're suspects . . . and so are their mothers.
Part murder mystery, part motherhood manifesto, CUTTING TEETH explores the standards society holds mothers to - along with the ones to which we hold ourselves - and the things no one tells you about becoming a parent.
'Bestseller Baker takes readers on a stomach-dropping emotional roller coaster in this suspenseful and darkly comic tale of motherhood and murder... a wicked thriller'. - Publishers Weekly
