“The Child is a perfect blend of beach read and book club selection....[A] page-turning whodunit….A novel that is both fast-paced and thought-provoking.”—USA Today
As an old house is demolished in a gentrifying section of London, a workman discovers human remains, buried for years. For journalist Kate Waters, it’s a story that deserves attention. She cobbles together a piece for her newspaper, but at a loss for answers, she can only pose a question: Who has been found at the building site?
As Kate investigates, she unearths connections to a crime that rocked the city decades earlier: A child was stolen from the maternity ward in a local hospital and was never found. Her heartbroken parents were left devastated by the loss.
But there is more to the story, and Kate is drawn—house by house—into the pasts of the people who once lived in this neighborhood that has given up its greatest mystery. And she soon finds herself the keeper of unexpected secrets that erupt in the lives of three women—and torn between what she can and cannot tell...

Nice Read. I only gave 4 stars because when it became obvious who Alice was I couldn’t believe that the reporters and cops took so long to figure it out. Otherwise, it’s a 5 star read!
Less creepy than The Widow. (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher Penguin, as part of a giveaway for the OTHER Fiona Barton book,The Widow, which I reviewed a few weeks ago. I am voluntarily reviewing this. This, like every review I post, is not influenced in any way by how I received it) After reading The Widow I wasn't sure if I even wanted to tackle this book. The Widow was "creepy". This one is a sad convoluted tale of the same reporter but in an entirely different context. A baby skeleton is found during a tear down in a section of London. It affects many lives as secrets are searched out and stitched together by Kate Waters, who is positive that there is more than " meets the eye" in what that baby can tell them of the past in what was a fairly closed community, and the answers that come from fallible humans are going to surprise a lot of people, and anger others. This book was very hope filled, and I highly recommend it,
Excellent!!. Fantastic story!! Unexpected. Would be a great movie
The Child. Fantastic read! Waited for this to come out after finishing “the Widow”, ALSO a great book. Each one is getting better…cannot wait for your next!
Great read!. This was a real page turner and an awesome value.
The Child. This book was amazing! I read the entire thing within 24 hours because I couldn't put it down! I can't wait to read The Widow! Fiona Barton is truly remarkable.
The Child. Excellent!
The Child. I really enjoyed this book, even though it is written in the first person which is not my favorite style. There are quite a few characters to remember when each chapter begins with just a first name. The story is a little slow at the start, but hang in there - it gets better and better until you can't put it down!
Good plot horrible dialogue. I was so distracted by the bad dialogue. It sounds so stilted- and there's a ton of dialogue. Contractions are not used where appropriate, making conversations distractingly unrealistic. Truly someone should have caught this- it feels like reading a translation!
Erred like s. Dear Cree weshubztrdbjsrxxtdd
Great twist. I couldn't put it down! What a great twist this book had in the end! Well worth the reading. Truly recommend this book.
Amazing read. One of the best books I’ve ever read, I could not put it down
Another brilliant novel!. Couldn't put it down... A cleverly crafted, thrilling mystery. I hate that I've finished it!
