About this listen

 The much-anticipated gripping new thriller from the bestselling author of The Girl Before - pre-order now!

The child you never knew
knows all your secrets . . .

Out of the blue, Susie Jukes is contacted on social media by Anna, the girl she gave up for adoption fifteen years ago.

But when they meet, Anna's home life sounds distinctly strange to Susie and her husband Gabe. And when Anna's adoptive parents seem to overreact to the fact she contacted them at all, Susie becomes convinced that Anna needs her help.

But is Anna's own behaviour simply what you'd expect from someone recovering from a traumatic childhood? Or are there other secrets at play here - secrets Susie has also been hiding for the last fifteen years?

I wanted to enjoy this, but found it frustrating, slow, and didn't warm to the characters. It's put me off reading more from this author.

Not my cup of tea

My darling daughter. It was a good easy listen. I mostly enjoyed it but I wouldn’t call it a thriller, which initially I thought it would be, but more of a drama.

I don’t have children so couldn’t relate the biological mothers way of dealing with her daughters behaviour. If this was a true story the husband would be a saint, I don’t think I could put up with the wife’s daughter’s accusations so calmly. Maybe it’s just me but I found how well he took it all quite unbelievable!

I’ll listen to more of JP Delaney’s books but won’t be tagging as a re-listen or favourite.

Enjoyed it

This book was a nice length and long enough to tell a good story .
Not totally sure I’d recommend this book , it was ok. Didn’t hate it but didn’t love it.

An ok book
