About this listen

In southeast London, a young mother has been accused of an unthinkable crime: poisoning her own child - and then leaving him to die. The mother, Ellie, is secretive and challenging - she's had a troubled upbringing - but does that mean she's capable of murder?

Balancing the case with raising her disabled five-year-old son, criminal defence lawyer Sarah Kellerman sets out in desperate pursuit of the truth. But when her own child becomes unwell, Sarah realises she's been drawn into a dangerous game.

Unsettling and compulsive, In the Blood is a chilling study of class, motherhood and power from a new star in crime fiction.

The story is the same old female fodder. Nice enough story. One for when you’re busy doing something else. However, the actress reading was utterly amazing. She could read a menu and make it sound full of excitement and suspense.
I would recommend this title, despite my grumbles I did enjoy it

didn't think I'd like this book but I did, great story line, likeable characters and a couple of twists and turns

great story line

The narrator was superb, really bringing the characters to life. The excellent delivery kept me engaged with the story. Although the story was good, I did find the portrayal of nurses as naive handmaidens to be misinformed and offensive at times. Other than this, it was an enjoyable listen.

Amazing narration

The first book I have read in years, and first experience of an Audio book. I was hooked! So many unexpected twists. I couldn’t wait to have time to listen each day.

So refreshing to hear a storyline inclusive of disability.

Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommended.

Brilliant narration!

The twists and turns of the story are so good, I was compelled to listen to it in one go. And last but not least I found the narration brilliant, it gives you the impression to really feel the emotions of the protagonists. This is quite rare to have such a good narration, well done !

Brilliant story and narration

The people you expect to hurt children aren't always the loud, rough ones or the whore. This book kept me guessing who the liars were all the way through. Ending in a most unexpected fashion.

you can't judge a book by its cover
