‘What to read after Where the Crawdads Sings AMAZON

‘Emotionally and intellectually thrilling, tremendously exciting’ SUNDAY EXPRESS

‘I loved this book’ LEE CHILD

‘Gorgeously written eerie suspense’ KARIN SLAUGHTER

You’d recognise my mother’s name if I told it to you. You’d wonder, briefly, where is she now? And didn’t she have a daughter while she was missing?

And whatever happened to the little girl?


Helena’s home is now like anyone else’s, with a husband and two daughters and a job she enjoys. But no one knows the truth about her childhood.

Brought up in a cabin in the wilderness until she was twelve, Helena’s father kept her and her mother isolated and unable to leave their marshland home, until the fateful day Helena escaped and her father faced justice.

Now years later and with news that her has escaped from prison, Helena instinctively knows that her father is coming for her and if she is to keep her family safe, she must once again return to the marsh, to confront him in his own wilderness and become the Mark King’s daughter once again.

A
n unforgettable and emotional read-in-one-sitting story packed with gripping suspense.
__________

‘Kya, the main character in Crawdads, is known as the “Marsh Girl.” The Marsh King’s Daughter shares the marsh moniker, along with the mystery and thriller elements of Crawdads. This book has a darker edge, and it happens in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, but if you’re looking for another strong female character and a book where the characters are of their environment, this book might do the trick.

Unlike anything else I’ve read. Haunting and unputdownable’

A constantly surprising novel which never takes the obvious route, it is emotionally and intellectually thrilling as well as tremendously exciting
WOMAN & HOME
Tension-filled thriller... Disturbing and atmospheric - it gripped me from the first page
EVENING STANDARD
Although there are shades of Emma Donahue's Room here, Dionne explores more thoroughly the relationship between captor and captive, the heavy anchoring of a familial bond and the exploitation of childhood innocence... Riveting
IRISH TIMES
The prose is sinuous and lush; the storytelling is relentless...Homeis set to make the season's other thrillers look undernourished
