A SUNDAY TIMES CRIME CLUB PICK

MOTHER. FRIEND. KILLER?

A young mother is accused of attempting to poison her own child. Ellie is secretive and challenging – she's had a troubled life – but does that mean she's capable of murder?

Criminal defence lawyer Sarah Kellerman is tasked with proving Ellie's innocence. But Sarah's desperate pursuit of the truth will draw her – and her five-year-old son – into unimaginable danger.

Unsettling and compulsive, In the Blood is a chilling study of class, motherhood and power.
