Charlie checked which member of the office had dealt with the family. It was
Colin. His desk was the other side of the room to hers. She got up to speak to him. He
was the straight, white, middle-aged male member of their team, similar in age to Bet
but as opposite in every other way as was possible. He was divorced and now single,
with barely any access to his two children, who had been taken off to Ireland by a
vindictive ex-wife years ago. Thin, tight-lipped and sad, he had a dry sense of humour and made it his business to look after the rights of all fathers and their children. He worked tirelessly with social services, going above and beyond what was normally required to ensure each child could know both parents. Charlie fully expected to see him on TV one day, dressed up as Superman swinging from Big Ben. What he didn’t know about family law was not worth knowing.
He was poring over his computer screen, his face serious.
‘Colin, have you got a minute?’
He looked up and nodded.
‘Do you remember dealing with a family called the Hubbards? Quite recently?’
He leant back frowning, before rubbing his chin with thin fingers.
‘Yes, I do. It was a couple of months ago.’ He scratched his chin again. ‘If I remember rightly, Julie Hubbard, the wife, had her wrist broken by her husband. She said she’d tripped and broken it in a fall but then refused to co-operate any further.
One of their sons, Richard, said that his father had done it.’
‘I think I know who I’d believe.’
He shrugged. ‘Everyone thought the same, but what can you do? Richard phoned
the police each time. He wanted to give evidence but Julie refused to let him and he
did everything his mother asked. With just the one juvenile son as a possible witness,
it was pretty much impossible to prove. Why do you ask?’
Charlie thought about what Colin had just said. For a young boy, Richard had
certainly been brave, going up against his dad like that. The kid was protecting his
mother in whatever way he could. Maybe Keith had started bullying him too because
he resented the way he defended his mum. Maybe that was why Julie left and had only taken him. Ryan was certainly less vocal. Maybe Ryan was safe and she’d only
had the time and resources to take one? There were too many maybes.
‘Because Julie and Richard Hubbard are the mother and son that have gone
missing.’
Colin frowned and shook his head.
‘Really? Though I have to say I’m not surprised. I always thought there was
something strange going on. The boy would plead with his mum to leave his father,
but she just wouldn’t; it was as if she had another agenda. On the last occasion I saw
them, Richard was literally begging her to leave Keith, but she whispered something
to him that I couldn’t hear and he shut up straight away and seemed happier. I
wouldn’t be at all surprised if she’d been waiting until the time was right.’
‘But why not take the other son, Ryan, too?’
‘He kept out of it really. Didn’t want to get involved. I think he sided with his
father a bit more.’
‘So did he have a good relationship with Keith then?’
‘He probably had to because he didn’t have as close a relationship with his mother
as Richard did.’
‘So what would be your gut feeling? Do you think Keith Hubbard could be
responsible for Julie and Richard’s disappearance?’
Colin pursed his lips and looked straight up at Charlie.
‘I wouldn’t like to say. He is a nasty bastard and could easily have done
something, but you know what some women are like. It wouldn’t surprise me if Julie
Hubbard hadn’t been planning this all along.’

My Review
4☆ A Chilling New Crime Fiction/ Mystery
MUMMY’S FAVOURITE is a new police procedural series featuring D.C Charlie Stafford.
It's a pacy, edge of your seat, chilling crime fiction.
There's a serial killer on the lose that is targeting single mothers and their child.
But this killer is brash and snatches his victims in broad daylight.
I know right just the thought of that alone made me go cold.
But burying them together and leaving one alive is simply horrific.
D.C Charlie Stafford is tasked with catching this twisted and sadistic serial killer before it's too late.
Stafford is a strong, ballsy, likeable Detective,and she's determined to catch the killer before more Mother and Child pairs go missing.
The police procedural was cleverly written and believable, the characters were strong and well developed.
There are some sensitive subjects such as abuse, burying alive, and mental health issues which some readers may find difficult to read.
Mummy's Favourite is a pacy, chilling, dark and at times disturbing read, that will leave you cold and get under your skin!
It's a great start to a new series and I'm looking forward to discovering more about D.C Charlie Stafford and her team.

Excerpt
Judging by the latest development, maybe it hadn’t been going as well as he’d
claimed.Charlie checked which member of the office had dealt with the family. It was
Colin. His desk was the other side of the room to hers. She got up to speak to him. He
was the straight, white, middle-aged male member of their team, similar in age to Bet
but as opposite in every other way as was possible. He was divorced and now single,
with barely any access to his two children, who had been taken off to Ireland by a
vindictive ex-wife years ago. Thin, tight-lipped and sad, he had a dry sense of humour and made it his business to look after the rights of all fathers and their children. He worked tirelessly with social services, going above and beyond what was normally required to ensure each child could know both parents. Charlie fully expected to see him on TV one day, dressed up as Superman swinging from Big Ben. What he didn’t know about family law was not worth knowing.
He was poring over his computer screen, his face serious.
‘Colin, have you got a minute?’
He looked up and nodded.
‘Do you remember dealing with a family called the Hubbards? Quite recently?’
He leant back frowning, before rubbing his chin with thin fingers.
‘Yes, I do. It was a couple of months ago.’ He scratched his chin again. ‘If I remember rightly, Julie Hubbard, the wife, had her wrist broken by her husband. She said she’d tripped and broken it in a fall but then refused to co-operate any further.
One of their sons, Richard, said that his father had done it.’
‘I think I know who I’d believe.’
He shrugged. ‘Everyone thought the same, but what can you do? Richard phoned
