Summary

A heart-stopping emotional thriller with a breathtaking twist from the best-selling author of The Happy Couple Samantha Hayes.

January 1992. A baby girl is left alone for a moment. Long enough for a mother to dash into a shop. Long enough for a child to be taken.

Thirteen years later, solicitor Robert Knight's stepdaughter wins a place at a prestigious London school for the gifted. The only puzzle is his wife Erin's reaction. Why is she so reluctant to let Ruby go? Doesn't she want what's best for her? As Erin grows more evasive, Robert can't help but feel she has something to hide and when he stumbles on mysterious letters, he discovers she has been lying to him. Somewhere in his wife's past lies a secret; a shocking secret that threatens to destroy everything....

Thrilling and gripping, Blood Ties will make you ask what dark secrets lie behind your neighbours' closed doors. Perfect listening for anyone who loved The Wife Between Us, The Girl on the Train or Gone Girl.

Oh Dear!

The author clearly has no time for the working classes. They really are the dregs as far as this author is concerned. The poor and downtrodden are all the villains in this story. If you are poor you are also unwashed and without morals.

Good holiday listen

Interesting plot with a few twists and turns with an ending that conveniently tied up all the strands. Held my interest and as aholiday read or listen it is perfect
Good narration which makes a lot of difference to overall enjoyment
Would have liked to know a little more about Jenna but that didn't detract from the story..
Although on occasions cars were left and picked up later there were times when I thought characters shouldn't be getting behind the wheel after what they'd consumed !!
