Publisher's summary

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.

Listened to entire series in a week….

I started off with book one being a little let down by how I predicted several of the twists and turns but by the end of this book I was very happy that I kept going. Of course it was over the top and unbelievable. I also didn’t get very invested in any particular character but even with all that said I REALLY ENJOYED THE ENTIRE SERIES!

If you’re looking for something that is easy to follow and has twists and turns you sometimes see coming but several times don’t as well as a really nice ending I recommend this series.

My biggest complaint is I wish I had waited until I was on a long road trip to listen to the series. It would have been a great way to pass all those miles.

The continuing storyline from 2 other books

Loved it all. It was very well done and I’m glad I had read the first books leading up to this one!

Pretty nice wrap up of the series

I had to listen to the last of the series, but I thought it was just okay. A lot of reminding us of previous stuff which I get, but not too exciting. It did have some interesting twists too. Overall it was worth listening to the wrap up I think.

Excellent

I read the entire series. Each book made me excited to know that there was another to follow. Now - about The Doctor's Child. This was the best as so many loose ends are tied up. Loved the suspense. Hated to stop listening.

Too tidy

Spoiler alert for those who have not read the book yet. The way the author brought the characters together in the middle of the story was so unbelievable that I lost interest for this fourth book in the series and I was disappointed.

Narrator

Too many of the characters voices sounded the same. Had to closely listen and try to remember who is speaking. I have never made a negative review before but this stops out. Good story otherwise
