Publisher's Summary

What was my sister doing standing over Florence’s cot in the middle of the night?

I trust my sister, Carrie, with my daughter’s life.

But then she’s accused of a terrible crime.

Carrie lives under our roof, she pushes my daughter on the swings, she takes her out for ice cream.

You might ask, why do I let her? Why would I risk my darling baby? How could I let my sister stay?

Because I have a dangerous secret, too. One that only Carrie knows about. And if that secret gets out, I could lose my little girl....

A completely gripping rollercoaster of a listen about the darkness families hide behind closed doors. Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will be hooked on The Girl She Wanted.

I really liked this book at first but it just went on too long. The reader was excellent.

Nonsense

I wanted to like this book but it honestly has zero redeeming qualities. The characters are unlikable, the circumstances are totally far fetched and the supposed twist is a ridiculous, completely unlikely let down. On top of all this, the narrator’s portrayal of ‘angst’ is nothing but annoying. No more KL Slater for me.
