The Child: the clever, addictive, must-read Richard and Judy Book Club bestseller, Paperback Book, By: Fiona Barton

The Sunday Times Bestseller, and Richard and Judy Book Club Pick 'Clever and compelling. You'll love THE CHILD' Clare Mackintosh, author of LET ME LIE When a paragraph in an evening newspaper reveals a decades-old tragedy, most readers barely give it a glance. But for three strangers it's impossible to ignore. For one woman, it's a reminder of the worst thing that ever happened to her. For another, it reveals the dangerous possibility that her darkest secret is about to be discovered. And for the third, a journalist, it's the first clue in a hunt to uncover the truth. The Child's story will be told. 'An engrossing, irresistible story about the coming to light of a long-buried secret. An absolutely fabulous read - I loved it!' Shari Lapena, author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR 'Tense, tantalising and ultimately very satisfying . . . definitely one of the year's must-reads' Lee Child
