Critics Review
Clever and compelling. You’ll love The Child .
Clever and compelling. You’ll love The Child. * Clare Mackintosh *I loved this gripping story that kept me guessing to the end. Barton treats her broken characters with such compassion that I wanted to reach into the pages and hug them. * Liz Nugent, author of LYING IN WAIT *Fiona Barton has outdone herself with The Child. An engrossing, irresistible story about the coming to light of a long-buried secret. An absolutely fabulous read - I loved it! * Shari Lapena, bestselling author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR *Tense, tantalising and ultimately very satisfying … definitely one of the year’s must-reads. * Lee Child *This expertly executed thriller, full of gritty authentic detail, is made even better by a killer twist that will catch you off guard. * Sunday Mirror *A gripping book you won’t be able to put down. * Sun on Sunday *A brilliant page-turner. * Closer *Barton kicks the novel’s suspense into a new gear, and you won’t be able to put it down until all the secrets have been shared. * Herald *Compelling, mawkish and macabre with abundant twists and turns to keep the interest levels high. * Daily Express *You won’t be able to put this book down! * Prima *
About The Author
Fiona Barton
Fiona Barton’s debut, The Widow, was a Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, and has been published in thirty-seven countries and optioned for television.
