About this listen

Most mothers hope their little girl turns out like their dad, but not Zoe. She hopes the apple falls far from the tree.

Zoe didn't meet her daughter the way most mothers do. She finds five-year-old Maddie alone and dirty on a countryside road. Frightened for Maddie's safety, she picks her up and takes her back to her father, not knowing what she's about to step into. Because Maddie wasn't just lost; she was there to lure her serial killer dad's new victim.

After escaping from the clutches of Maddie's dangerous father, she bonds with the little girl. Only Maddie knows what it was like to be at that house. And when no family members come forward to claim Maddie, Zoe decides to adopt her. They move away to a safe house on the Cornish coast and become a family of their own. Zoe gets married and has another child, a baby brother for Maddie.

But Maddie is still traumatised by what she experienced. Diagnosed with callous and unemotional traits, Zoe has a tough job to ensure Maddie has the love and support she needs. Zoe truly loves her daughter—she wouldn't change a thing about her. But there is a part of her that always stays alert. A part of her is afraid of Maddie.

And now, 11 years later, Maddie's school bully is found dead, and another girl is missing.

Zoe can't help but wonder...like father, like daughter?

Fantastic, gripped all the way to the end.

Narrater was excellent and voice changes made the story line even better. It was at times a little slow in getting to the point but when it did, it was worth the wait.

Binge worthy

Fast paced and gripping. Certainly keeps you on your toes. Honestly had me second guessing all the characters. Definitely worth a listen!

Exactly what I wanted

I really enjoyed listening to this! The plot & ending was fairly predictable, but ultimately that didn't matter. Narration was great and not super cheesy like some others I've listened to. I couldn't stop listening, the story drew me in immediately. Probably the quickest I've finished an audiobook!

My Perfect Daughter.

A well-written book. I must admit I did not guess the killer. But loved the twist and turns of the store.👍🏾

Worth the listen

I picked up this story in two minds. The summary intrigued me but the author was unknown to me. Having listen to the story I’m glad I took the chance on it. The story was fresh and kept you guessing g. I really enjoyed it.

Sarah A Denzil....brilliant!

This is my 2nd review of this book because it was so good a d then realised I have read/listened to numerous of her books! My goodness she is so good with all her books....you think you've sussed out the badies....but then she gets you rethinking....and then you've got it all wrong still at the end! all her books have great narration. The only thing that worries me
......what sort of mind does Sarah have?
Every book so far has not been weak yet. I will be making sure I read the rest of her books.

Not for everyone

The description of the attack is quiet realist so not for everyone but I had to listen to the end.

Really gripping and quite scary

This book is like hiding behind the sofa when Dr Who is on. You peep through your fingers, but you can’t put the book down.., full of suspicion.
