The Butcher's Daughter

De: Jane E. James

Narrado por: Harrie Dobby

The Butcher's Daughter is a compelling psychological thriller which will appeal to fans of authors like Sheryl Browne, Nuala Ellwood and Teresa Driscoll.

When Natalie Powers returns home for the first time in 13 years, she must convince everyone she has fully recovered from the mental illness that has seen her institutionalised for most of her young life. But instead of being welcomed back, Natalie enters a baffling world of deception. In the village of Little Downey, everybody appears to harbour a mysterious secret, including her father, Frank, the village butcher, who refuses to discuss the circumstances surrounding Natalie’s mother's disappearance. But who can Natalie trust if not her own father? Especially when it becomes clear her protector and confidant, Dr Moses, is not all he appears. Meanwhile, a spate of unexplained clifftop suicides has seen the seaside resort go into decline. Are the villagers somehow involved, or is something more sinister at work?

Did not hold my interest

Narrator Harrie Dobby goes above and beyond with her exquisite vocals. As for the story itself, it wasn’t my cup of tea. “Each to their own.” But that does not mean I will give up on author Jane E. James as I have accumulated a nice collection of her books.

Don’t waste your time

Absolutely an awful story line. Difficult, at best, to figure out what the heck is going on.
