About this listen
In southeast London, a young mother has been accused of an unthinkable crime: poisoning her own child - and then leaving him to die. The mother, Ellie, is secretive and challenging - she's had a troubled upbringing - but does that mean she's capable of murder?
Balancing the case with raising her disabled five-year-old son, criminal defence lawyer Sarah Kellerman sets out in desperate pursuit of the truth. But when her own child becomes unwell, Sarah realises she's been drawn into a dangerous game.
Unsettling and compulsive, In the Blood is a chilling study of class, motherhood and power from a new star in crime fiction.

Excellent performance
The story is the same old female fodder. Nice enough story. One for when you’re busy doing something else. However, the actress reading was utterly amazing. She could read a menu and make it sound full of excitement and suspense.
I would recommend this title, despite my grumbles I did enjoy it

Amazing narration
The narrator was superb, really bringing the characters to life. The excellent delivery kept me engaged with the story. Although the story was good, I did find the portrayal of nurses as naive handmaidens to be misinformed and offensive at times. Other than this, it was an enjoyable listen.
