MY DARLING DAUGHTER
by JP Delaney (£14.99, HB, Quercus)
Fifteen years ago, Susie made the hardest decision of her life: to give up her newborn daughter for adoption. Now happily married to Gabe, she lives in a beautiful farmhouse and has a successful singing career. Having been unable to conceive again, the 35-year-old is delighted when her daughter Anna unexpectedly gets in touch via social media. But their joyful reunion is clouded by Anna’s concerning descriptions of her home life. Certain that there are dark secrets at play, Susie begins to fear for her daughter’s welfare. After all these years, the ugly truth is about to be exposed… A twisty, electrifying read.
