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 narrator Kelly Adams was GREAT! she executed this book perfectly.
The Author Ruth Mancini surely knows how to make you sit at the edge of your seat (preferably without falling off).

I loved this book and very eager to listen to more from this Author. I absolutely loved it! No 'smut' and unnecessary lines added to fill out this wonderful story. What a twist! what a ride! I don't really want to say any more, or I may end up putting a ton of spoilers in it. Just listen and immerse yourself in this great story.
I would recommend this highly
