About this listen

The doctor is dead. Now his daughter wants revenge…

‘I’ll always protect you.’ These are the words my mother whispered to me every time she kissed me goodnight. And whenever we ventured outside our windswept seaside village, she’d clutch my hand tightly and her face would be pinched and pale. I never understood why. But now I do.

Growing up, I’d heard the whispers and the rumours. My mother tried to keep the truth from me, but she failed. I understand exactly what happened eighteen years ago. I know I am the murdered doctor’s child.

Everything could have been so different if the doctor’s wife hadn’t ruined my mother’s life–and mine too. We could’ve been a proper family, living in a big house with a stunning sea view. Instead, I never got to know my dad and my mother is a shadow of the person she once was, always looking over her shoulder…

Glancing at my fair hair and bright blue eyes in the mirror, I realise I’m just like my father. And it’s up to me to right the wrongs of the past.

They say the doctor’s wife is clever and calculating. That she gets away with murder. But she hasn’t met me yet…

From the number one bestselling author of The Doctor’s Wife, this is a totally gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the final jaw-dropping twist. If you love Behind Closed Doors, Gone Girl and The Housemaid, you’ll be hooked on The Doctor’s Child.

Fantastic Last Book!

Have to say Daniel Hurst, you excelled with this finishing book to this series. Absolutely brilliant! Thought it could have been an overkill but definitely was not... Well done

Brilliant!

Brilliant ending to a gripping series of books. Kept me listening all day! Daniel Hurst is definitely one of my all time top authors to listen to and I really like the narrator too. This series will really hold your attention.

I’ve followed this series and it’s grown tired and unimaginative sadly! You will still semi enjoy this but more out of commitment to the series!

ok

ok , I read this to finish it off , as i read all others in the series.. the first book was brilliant and fern and Alice had separate voices ..This last book we had ferns voice for both people very confused , so not very believable.
this author scraped the barrel on this one .
story was not believable far fetched.
glad it's over, but don't waste your credit.

Was looking forward to this sequel

I was looking forward to the sequel book but quite honestly was bored to death listening to this droning on and on - had to give up 1/4 way through
