In the Blood

THE SUNDAY TIMES CRIME CLUB PICK
THE TOP TEN BESTSELLER

MOTHER... FRIEND... POISONER?

A young mother is accused of attempting to poison her own child. Ellie is secretive and challenging – she's had a troubled life – but does that mean she's capable of murder?

Criminal defence lawyer Sarah Kellerman is tasked with proving Ellie's innocence. But Sarah's desperate pursuit of the truth will draw her – and her five-year-old son – into unimaginable danger...

Unsettling and compulsive, In the Blood is a chilling study of class, motherhood and power from a new star in crime fiction.

'A tense legal thriller set against the pressures of single motherhood, In the Blood is deeply authentic, tightly plotted and beautifully written. I can't wait for the next in the series' HARRIET TYCE.

'This creeping, disquieting story had me guessing until the rollercoaster end' LESLEY THOMSON.
