THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER from the author of THE WIDOW.
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. Her second novel, The Child, and her
third, The Suspect, were both bestsellers. Born in Cambridge, Fiona
currently lives on the south coast in West Sussex.
Previously, she was a senior writer at the Daily Mail, news editor
at the Daily Telegraph, and chief reporter at the Mail on Sunday,
where she won Reporter of the Year at the British Press Awards.
While working as a journalist, Fiona reported on many high-profile
criminal cases and developed a fascination with watching those
involved, their body language and verbal tics. She interviewed
people at the heart of these crimes, from the guilty to their
families, as well as those on the periphery, and found it was those
just outside the spotlight who interested her most...
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*
