Summary

What was my sister doing standing over Florence’s cot in the middle of the night?

I trust my sister, Carrie, with my daughter’s life.

But then she’s accused of a terrible crime.

Carrie lives under our roof, she pushes my daughter on the swings, she takes her out for ice cream.

You might ask, why do I let her? Why would I risk my darling baby? How could I let my sister stay?

Because I have a dangerous secret, too. One that only Carrie knows about. And if that secret gets out, I could lose my little girl....

A completely gripping rollercoaster of a listen about the darkness families hide behind closed doors. Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will be hooked on The Girl She Wanted.

Easy Domestic Thriller

Easy to follow, pleasant, domestic thriller, told from the perspective of a young mother. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The downside being perhaps that it lacks dramatic twists-and-turns all the way through and the ending is not so satisfying. . . . . . . . . Her older sister is a nurse, and is under investigation for the deaths of two patients at the hospital where she works. The suspense is built around whether the older sister be trusted to be living in same house as the younger sister's one-year-old baby. In my view, quite a good book, but K L Slater has written better. The reading by Kristin Atherton however, is top notch.
