The Doctor's Child

An incredibly gripping psychological thriller (The Doctor's Wife Book 4)

By: Daniel Hurst

Narrated by: Sarah Durham, Polly Edsell

The doctor is dead. Now his daughter wants revenge…

‘I’ll always protect you.’ These are the words my mother whispered to me every time she kissed me goodnight. And whenever we ventured outside our windswept seaside village, she’d clutch my hand tightly and her face would be pinched and pale. I never understood why. But now I do.

Growing up, I’d heard the whispers and the rumours. My mother tried to keep the truth from me, but she failed. I understand exactly what happened eighteen years ago. I know I am the murdered doctor’s child.

Everything could have been so different if the doctor’s wife hadn’t ruined my mother’s life–and mine too. We could’ve been a proper family, living in a big house with a stunning sea view. Instead, I never got to know my dad and my mother is a shadow of the person she once was, always looking over her shoulder…

Glancing at my fair hair and bright blue eyes in the mirror, I realise I’m just like my father. And it’s up to me to right the wrongs of the past.

They say the doctor’s wife is clever and calculating. That she gets away with murder. But she hasn’t met me yet…

From the number one bestselling author of The Doctor’s Wife, this is a totally gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the final jaw-dropping twist. If you love Behind Closed Doors, Gone Girl and The Housemaid, you’ll be hooked on The Doctor’s Child.

Surprise ending!

Of the four books in the series, I liked this one best. More twists and harder to put down.

Listened to entire series in a week….

I started off with book one being a little let down by how I predicted several of the twists and turns but by the end of this book I was very happy that I kept going. Of course it was over the top and unbelievable. I also didn’t get very invested in any particular character but even with all that said I REALLY ENJOYED THE ENTIRE SERIES!

If you’re looking for something that is easy to follow and has twists and turns you sometimes see coming but several times don’t as well as a really nice ending I recommend this series.

My biggest complaint is I wish I had waited until I was on a long road trip to listen to the series. It would have been a great way to pass all those miles.

Pretty nice wrap up of the series

I had to listen to the last of the series, but I thought it was just okay. A lot of reminding us of previous stuff which I get, but not too exciting. It did have some interesting twists too. Overall it was worth listening to the wrap up I think.

Excellent

I read the entire series. Each book made me excited to know that there was another to follow. Now - about The Doctor's Child. This was the best as so many loose ends are tied up. Loved the suspense. Hated to stop listening.

awesome!!!

I loved this one just as much as all the others!!!! never a boring moment!!! excellent!!!

Good wrap up to series…HOWEVER

I’ll keep this short. This was a very good series. I loved the recap of what’s happened in this particular book. The down side is that it’s ALLLLLL they talked about in this book is the recap. The now-day scenes were pretty good but for such an exciting series, the end was anti-climactic. Nevertheless, this is a really good author who knows how to tell a story.

Disappointing compared to the others

I feel like half the story was spent recapping the other books. This one was slow and not as good as the others

Conclusion

This was a nice conclusion to a series. Author gave all the characters still alive a nice ending.

Fabulous

A well told gripping story that leaves you wanting more. Wonderful performances by the readers.

Too tidy

Spoiler alert for those who have not read the book yet. The way the author brought the characters together in the middle of the story was so unbelievable that I lost interest for this fourth book in the series and I was disappointed.
