A SUNDAY TIMES CRIME CLUB PICK MOTHER... FRIEND... KILLER? A young mother is accused of attempting to poison her own child. Ellie is secretive and challenging – she's had a troubled life – but does that mean she's capable of murder? Criminal defence lawyer Sarah Kellerman is tasked with proving Ellie's innocence. But Sarah's desperate pursuit of the truth will draw her – and her five-year-old son – into unimaginable danger... Unsettling and compulsive, In the Blood is a chilling study of class, motherhood and power.

Brilliant' JENNY BLACKHURST 'If you loved Apple Tree Yard, you'll love In the Blood.
