The Daughter

‘Pitch Perfect’ The Daily Mail

‘A breathless, exciting debut’ The Times, Best New Crime Books of 2022

‘I lean in and whisper the question I have never let myself utter in twenty-three years.
Dad…did you murder Mum?’

Liz Webb’s sharply plotted debut novel is a dark family mystery set in contemporary
London where a woman attempts to impose order on her own chaotic life and
untangle the mystery of her mother’s brutal murder.

‘A gothic heroine for our times bestrides this dark, intriguing and,
at times, laugh-out-loud, thriller. Totally engrossing’ JO BRAND

‘This compelling, beautifully written novel is a must-read for anyone who has ever had family dramas to contend with. I raced through it and was utterly gripped throughout. More importantly, it’s utterly unique.’ SOPHIE HANNAH

Hannah Davidson has a dementia-stricken father, an estranged TV star brother, and a
mother whose death opened up hidden fault lines beneath the surface of their
ordinary family life. At 37 years old, Hannah is losing her grip on both her drinking and a cache of shameful secrets. Now the spitting image of her mother Jen Davidson, and the same age she was when she died, Hannah is determined to uncover exactly what happened to her mum, but soon the boundaries between Hannah and her mother
become fatally blurred.

An intriguing leading character, a unique dark quirky voice and a tense twisty plot
that keeps you guessing, make this an absorbing and compulsive read. A dark, quirky
thriller perfect for fans of Elizabeth is Missing and The Woman in the Window.
