About the author

Sarah A. Denzil is a million copy best-selling author of psychological suspense novels. Her books include number one best seller Silent Child, which was a Goodreads Choice semi-finalist in 2017. Her books have been published in several different languages and have appeared on the Wall Street Journal best seller list.

Sarah lives in Yorkshire with her husband and cat, enjoying the scenic countryside and rather unpredictable weather. She loves to write moody, psychological fiction with plenty of twists and turns.

Summary

Most mothers hope their little girl turns out like their dad, but not Zoe. She hopes the apple falls far from the tree.

Zoe didn't meet her daughter the way most mothers do. She finds five-year-old Maddie alone and dirty on a countryside road. Frightened for Maddie's safety, she picks her up and takes her back to her father, not knowing what she's about to step into. Because Maddie wasn't just lost; she was there to lure her serial killer dad's new victim.

After escaping from the clutches of Maddie's dangerous father, she bonds with the little girl. Only Maddie knows what it was like to be at that house. And when no family members come forward to claim Maddie, Zoe decides to adopt her. They move away to a safe house on the Cornish coast and become a family of their own. Zoe gets married and has another child, a baby brother for Maddie.

But Maddie is still traumatised by what she experienced. Diagnosed with callous and unemotional traits, Zoe has a tough job to ensure Maddie has the love and support she needs. Zoe truly loves her daughter—she wouldn't change a thing about her. But there is a part of her that always stays alert. A part of her is afraid of Maddie.

And now, 11 years later, Maddie's school bully is found dead, and another girl is missing.

Zoe can't help but wonder...like father, like daughter?

Great book, great storyline and gripping throughout! I’d highly recommend it. Took me just 3 days to finish it as really wanted to know the ending

Couldn’t put down!

Great story with twists and had to keep guessing. At one point I was quietly shouting in my head ‘ call the police’ as it was getting a little ridiculous but it soon smoothed out! Great narration, cleverly using different accents and tones to distinguish the characters. Now I have to find something equally good to listen to!

Great book though a bit dark in places!

I enjoyed the book though it was a bit depressing at times, but it was a gripping storyline with a good twist at the end. Well narrated throughout.

Ok

I enjoyed it even though it was fairly predictable and the main character was blind to huge flashing lights. The ending was disappointing

Fantastic read

This author keeps the pace throughout and the story can be grisly but is definitely gripping!
Poor Zoe had a rough deal that for sure. Some of the safeguarding was a bit ropey - not sure the author knows much about school procedures - but I still loved the book.
