The Child – Fiona Barton

Twisty, emotional, and impossible to put down — Fiona Barton at her gripping best.

When a long-buried skeleton is unearthed at a construction site, journalist Kate Waters senses a story that could change lives. As she digs deeper, secrets from decades past resurface, intertwining the lives of three women. A powerful thriller about motherhood, memory, and the devastating consequences of hidden truths.

Popular for its missing-child mystery arc and the hook: "Every child has a story. Some are buried." Perfect for fans of Fiona Barton's The Widow, Lisa Jewell's The Family Upstairs, and Paula Hawkins's Into the Water.
