The Child

The Child by Fiona Barton is a book I'd seen on a Kindle deal. I'd heard nothing about it before but the blurb interested me sufficiently for me to download it. I'm glad I did as it was a very good read.

"When a paragraph in an evening newspaper reveals a decades-old tragedy, most readers barely give it a glance. But for three strangers it's impossible to ignore.

For one woman, it's a reminder of the worst thing that ever happened to her.

For another, it reveals the dangerous possibility that her darkest secret is about to be discovered.

And for the third, a journalist, it's the first clue in a hunt to uncover the truth.

The Child's story will be told."

I enjoyed how this book was written, short chapters each from the different women's point of view. All quite separate at the start but gradually merging until they were all part of the same story.

It's a book which kept me reading wanting to know more. I'd definitely recommend it.
