About this listen

My mother turns up after thirty years... and she wants my help.

Kim Slade is at work when there's a knock at her office door. Someone is waiting for her in reception. A woman claiming to be her mother. The mother who abandoned her thirty years ago.

Monica Slade has been working as a live-in housekeeper for a judge and his wife, she says. But now Judge Hawkes is dead.

The last thing Monica says before the police take her in for questioning is: "There are things you should know. About the past."

Kim immediately sets out to prove her mother's innocence. But soon, she is forced to think the unthinkable. Is my mother a murderer?

The Housekeeper's Daughter is an exhilarating blend of domestic suspense and nail-biting tension with a shattering final twist. Perfect for fans of Patricia MacDonald, Lisa Jewell, Shalini Boland, T.M. Logan, and Clare Mackintosh.

This is a good story but, for me, the ending was too far-fetched. I also found the number of similes intrusive. Everything is 'like' something else or 'as if' something. After a while it gets in the way of the story and breaks the tension. The narration, however, is excellent.

Gripping up to a point
