About this listen
In southeast London, a young mother has been accused of an unthinkable crime: poisoning her own child - and then leaving him to die. The mother, Ellie, is secretive and challenging - she's had a troubled upbringing - but does that mean she's capable of murder?
Balancing the case with raising her disabled five-year-old son, criminal defence lawyer Sarah Kellerman sets out in desperate pursuit of the truth. But when her own child becomes unwell, Sarah realises she's been drawn into a dangerous game.
Unsettling and compulsive, In the Blood is a chilling study of class, motherhood and power from a new star in crime fiction.

Fantastic!
The first book I have read in years, and first experience of an Audio book. I was hooked! So many unexpected twists. I couldn’t wait to have time to listen each day.
So refreshing to hear a storyline inclusive of disability.
Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommended.

Brilliant narration!
The story was very good but what stood out was the narration, the characters were absolutely brilliant and she really brought them to life. Loved it!

Brilliant story and narration
The twists and turns of the story are so good, I was compelled to listen to it in one go. And last but not least I found the narration brilliant, it gives you the impression to really feel the emotions of the protagonists. This is quite rare to have such a good narration, well done !

you can't judge a book by its cover
The people you expect to hurt children aren't always the loud, rough ones or the whore. This book kept me guessing who the liars were all the way through. Ending in a most unexpected fashion.

A very human drama
It’s not often the lead character in a crime drama has a child with learning difficulties, it enriched the story enormously, the characters were beautifully drawn and the narrator was excellent, thoroughly recommended

Really liked the character of Sarah
Liked the way the story described the reality of dealing with a disabled child. The name Carmel should be pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable.

Excellent performance
The story is the same old female fodder. Nice enough story. One for when you’re busy doing something else. However, the actress reading was utterly amazing. She could read a menu and make it sound full of excitement and suspense.
I would recommend this title, despite my grumbles I did enjoy it
