Summary

A standalone thriller from the author of the DCI Matilda Darke crime series. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride, Mark Billingham and Val McDermid.

A killer has done his time but has justice really been served? 

On her 13th birthday, Stephanie White was abducted from the streets of Newcastle and brutally murdered. Her death shook the neighbourhood and devastated the lives of everyone around her. Twenty years later, the killer is due to be released from prison and one woman can no longer keep the secret she vowed never to tell. The secret that the father of her child is a convicted murderer.

Dawn Shepherd always longed to have a father but when her mother finally reveals his identity after 20 years, Dawn realises you should be careful what you wish for. Her father has always maintained his innocence but how much can Dawn trust a man she has never met who has been convicted of murder? Disgusted and intrigued in equal measure, Dawn goes on a mission to uncover what happened to Stephanie and work out if a killer’s blood runs through her veins. Clues are resurfaced, witnesses reinterviewed and wounds reopened in the search for truth and justice. After delving deep into the past, Dawn soon discovers that all is not as it seems.

Join us on a journey into the heart of family loyalty, on a path to discover whether blood really is thicker than water.

the relationships between the characters

I enjoyed it and also got annoyed at times when I couldn't figure out who killed the child, I wondered why the main character stopped trying to figure it out and the twist at the end solved all my queries, a great book

5 star

This was excellent a real good whodunnit. A great story with a brilliant narrator (it’s amazing the amount of books that have really crap narrators!) it twists and turns and drew me in immediately.
Honestly the best books are the free ones I find you have to trawl through a right load of rubbish (paid for usually!)
before occasionally finding a belter like this.
I don’t believe in re writing the whole book in a recommendation so just give it a go if you like crime genre. I think I’ll start it again now.
