Seven years ago, six-year-old Maisie Earnshaw was found facedown in a duck pond, her body mutilated. Isabel - at age 14, found covered in Maisie's blood - was convicted of murder. As Leah spends time with Isabel, she comes to know her as a young woman with a sweet, gentle nature, someone she could never see as a murderer. Leah begins to suspect members of the Fielding family of framing Isabel as a young girl, and she's not the only one. True crime blogger James Gorden thinks Isabel is innocent, too.

A little girl, Esther, no older than seven years old, by herself in the dead of night, her pretty but old-fashioned yellow dress covered in grass stains and her hair dishevelled.

But Leah’s son Tom is first on the scene and Seb, Leah’s boyfriend, isn’t convinced by Tom’s innocent act. Even Leah must admit she doesn’t really know her son after he disappeared for months without contact.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Publisher's summary
The must-read psychological thriller for 2019 from the million-copy-bestselling author of Silent Child.
"Your daughter is dead."
When Kat Cavanaugh hears the words every mother dreads, her perfect world shatters. She takes in the beautiful long blonde hair, torn yellow dress, and chipped blue nail-varnish. It can’t be real.
And then the police add the word "suicide". But Kat refuses to believe them.
Even when they show her the familiar looping handwriting and smudged ink on the note her little girl left behind. She knows her bubbly, vivacious daughter would never take her own life.
As she searches Grace’s perfume-scented room, filled with smiling photos, she uncovers secrets her little girl had been hiding. Secrets that could put her in terrible danger, too.
But Kat’s determined to find out what really happened to Grace on the night she died, whatever it takes....
This addictive and heart-pounding psychological thriller will keep you gripped late into the night.

Great read, until the ultimately stupid ending..
This book had everything going for it. It had a complex woman with a personality disorder who was finding it difficult to mourn properly for her daughter, who recently committed suicide. She refused to believe that her daughter really did kill herself. She started her own investigation, and it was leading to all sorts of interesting places.
Then came the ending and the denouement. I have to say, I just couldn't believe how stupid and obvious it was. It totally ruined to book for me, and I asked for my credit back.
So frustrating!

Pretty great
The story had me rapt from the beginning. Really easy to listen to & enough intrigue to keep you involved. I found myself finding excuses to keep listening.
The "twist" wasn't quite a twist, but it was good all the same.
I liked this book so much I got 2 more from this author & listened to those in 2 days.

Drawn out and mostly predictable
The character development was lacking. She really hammered the same things home over and over again So that the characters were more two dimensional. I did finish it because I could not let the plot go unfinished in my mind
But if I had it to do it over again I wouldn’t choose this one.

it started out good
the books are not really good very promising and then it just kind of got boring and you got the feeling is it ever going to end. Also the ending just wasn't very good either.

Story Great, But ENTIRELY Too Long
If this was shortened by about 10 chapters, I think it still could've been epic-in spots I grew bored. But ultimately worth staying until the end.

Warning!
Do not attempt this if you are feeling remotely depressed. From the get go the narrator lays on the moaning grief, although to be fair, the author probably intended this, but it’s way too much.
I think I won’t carry on listening.

Disappointed
This is my fourth Sarah Denzil, the second with Audible. I wish I had read this one as I thought that the narration was terrible, overly theatrical and the alternative voices the narrator used for other characters were poor. I persevered because basically the story is good, but I winced while I listened.

A bit deep for me
Although the story was ok, I found it a little depressing to be honest & very sad. Also a little complicated.

Disappointing
I hate leaving bad reviews... but honestly, I was disappointed! I loved Sarah’s other books? And was expecting another fantastic story, but this one just didn’t do it for me. I’d stick to the others and give this one a miss.

Classic Sarah A. Denzil story
Sarah a. Denzil has a brilliant way of writing her books. As with her others, this story seemed almost predictable. Some of the characters you get a bad feeling about very early on but there’s a great plot twist towards the end that takes you in a different direction which always completely surprises me. I really didn’t like the main character at the start but I’m glad I persevered. I won’t say anymore so as not to spoil it for anyone

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME
Only Daughter: A bland and overly-aggressive emotionally-unstable story with a predictable and overdone resolution.
Where to begin. This is an embarrassment. A waste of time. DO NOT BOTHER.
This novel is melodramatic and unrealistic with a delusional and heavily annoying protagonist who can't seem to stop playing the victim. The entire novel is the protagonist whining to the reader for attention. As for the "jaw-dropping twist" ...laughable. The novel loses interest hours before the twist comes, and when it does; it is not in the least surprising, given the circumstance. I was constantly disappointed and sadly did not enjoy any one part of listening to this novel. The narrator was fine for the main character, but the rest of the character voices are awful.
The writer also comes across as desperate to please the millennials, with constant pop culture references, talking about social media, influencers, clothing designers and specific songs. The novel comes across dated by these references practically before release. As a millennial, I found it increasingly embarrassing to read.
Another gripe is the continuously unreliable timing of the novel. One moment there will be no drama, the next, without leadup, everything has escalated to a high degree. It seems the author has not wanted to put in the work to escalate the situations naturally. Likewise, there is an overload of "tell not show", where again, the author either does not know how to 'show' the story, or is simply too uninterested to do so. The bulk of the story is the protagonist TELLING the reader (and other characters) what is happening, what has happened, and how to feel. Additionally, the author always follows up these episodes of lazy writing with the protagonist excusing either her irrational actions (due to a lack of natural escalation of situations) or her explanations, by saying it is 'because she has a mental illness'. Frustrating, to say the least.
I lost count of the amount of times the protagonist boasts, "you don't know who I am," "I am not like the others," "I am more dangerous than you know," which comes across as insanely arrogant as well as delusional. Not to mention the fact that she does not act on these threats at all, making her appear both shallow and dishonest. Perhaps the author realises this toward the end of the novel, so using her sole skill of *using a character to explain instead of writing it into the story*, she has another character tell the protagonist that she is "all bark and no bite." An eye roll for sure.
To cover over the "jaw-dropping twist" (said with a lot of sarcasm), the author gets to it, and makes EVERYBODY a suspect. It makes me wonder if the author has ever read a novel in this genre. My understanding is that intriguing your reader is far better than confusing your reader.
The novel also has an overload of predictability. Everything has 'shock' value. Nasty text messages from unknown numbers. Car chases. House fires. Drugs. Sex. Pregnancy. It's like the author read a bunch of blurbs from books in this genre, made dot points, and then used all of these things in her book. It's too much, and too obvious. The reader very quickly expects the 'shock value' occurrences to happen.
There is also so much unpleasantness in this novel. Nobody is likable, which I think is the biggest blunder of all. Nobody. The entire novel is filled to the brim with so much bitterness, so much anger. There is no balance, only full-force anger. Reading this felt like dealing with an angry teenager, but for 11 hours. Exhausting. I also felt like the anger/bitterness did not connect fully with the protagonist. Makes me wonder if the author feels these things and simply tried to push it out through this novel. Regardless, it's bad.
Again to the unbelievable happenings. The story revolves around a set of upper-class characters, mostly mothers and teenagers, and so that is what we are dealing with. And yet somehow all of them are A) trained fighters and B) have no conscience. Hearing about the skilled physical fight of two of the characters is humorous. It simply does not line up for a believable character or story.
The end of the novel: "If you were COMPLETELY GRIPPED by Only Daughter, sign up....to be the first to know when the next HEART STOPPING book ...is released." Absolutely laughable.
Overall, I honestly found this novel terrible. I read a lot in this genre, and while I can appreciate different styles, I genuinely just found this to lack skill and finesse. The entire work felt like a stream of angry consciousness from the writer about a mental condition. The same facts over and over with no understanding or regard for a fluid storyline. It felt like this novel was written for the accomplishment, and not because the author loves (or cares about) literature.
May I suggest a professional editor and some writing classes.

A good thriller
This was a good psychological thriller. I did find it dragged on a bit but I couldn't stop listening to it. It kept you guessing until the end.

Good, but not as good her last one.
Slow to start and a bit to much of the characters repetitive thoughts. Story improves as you preserve into it.
