Jenny is a local vet with a very dark secret...her father is a notorious serial killer! This was a great read that started off a bit slow but had a nice twist at the end. Definitely a binge-worthy book.

In a sleepy Devon village, a woman is taken from the streets. Local vet Jenny is horrified. This kind of thing doesn’t happen here. But it’s not the first time she’s been so close to a crime scene. The daughter of a prolific serial killer, she’s spent her whole life running from who she really is. And the crime is harrowingly similar to those her father committed all those years ago. This book closely follows on the heels of The Serial Killers Wife. This story is more murder-focused and less psychological than the first but it more than makes up it in suspense. I read this in one sitting....it truly was unputdownable. Thank you NetGalley for the advanced readers copy for review.

DNF there should be some trigger or warning re animal abuse,I really cant stand reading about it and so when a book has it in it its a no no from me

Unfortunately, while I can get behind serial killing in a book I can't get behind animal abuse. I just don't want to read about that. This book needs a warning for those who don't want that in their heads either. Otherwise this is an okay, albeit dark, read.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this enticing book

its the second book in this series but it can be read as a stand alone

After reading the serial killers wife I couldn't wait to read this. I was nit disappointed. A great read, edge of your seat storyline. Amazing!

Having read the previous book The Serial Killers Wife I was delighted to be given the opportunity to read this new book by Alice Hunter and I wasn't disappointed .In a sleepy Devon Village a woman disappears,she had been having an affair with Jen's husband so is she now a suspect and will her secret past be discoverd ?This is a fast paced ,gripping and compelling thriller with plenty of twists and turns .I enjoyed this book and especially liked the ending and look forward to reading more in this series . .Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC.

This book was very meh. Not my favorite but not the least favorite. Hoping my next read is superior. I’d possibly feel differently if I read the first book. I’m appreciative of the free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I never repeat the blurb. Great second book by the author, unrelated to the first but in the same theme. Keeps you guessing until (almost) the end. A little more signposting when the narrator changes but is not Jenny or Mark.

Maybe “Take Your Daughter to Work Day” wasn’t the best idea for Paul Slater the serial killer. Did he think exposing her to his line of work would not affect his child?  The  convictions of his crimes left his little girl with a controlling (as in never leave my side) mother and resulted in Jen (nee Jane) escaping as a teenager from her mom with out a trace, or so she hoped. She may have left and made new life but she can not escape the blackouts as a result of PTSD.
   The blackouts and lack of recall find her in the midst of suspects in a murder in spite her good standing as a conscientious mom, wife, and vet in her community. The victim, a young lady her husband had an affair with, puts her front and center on the police radar: she was seen in the victim’s yard in her pajamas…or was she?
   While the reader may have idea of the outcome? You're wrong. The expected finale was a real twist.
   A scary look onto the development of a serial killer. Does the apple fall far from the tree?????

The Serial Killer’s Daughter is a well written yet unbelievable thriller. Jenny’s night tremors are too far-fetched to seem realistic. Her half sister trying to frame her because she envied her life also left me way out in fiction land.

I enjoyed that the reader doesn’t know who is visiting with Jenny’s father in prison, this remained a surprise throughout. A great story idea that needed a bit more grounding in the finer details.

This is the follow up to the highly successful novel The Serial Killers Wife and is a deeply dark and disturbing psychological thriller, told entirely from the POV’s of Jenny and her husband Mark. If you read the previous book, and I recommend you do, you will know that Jenny’s father is a convicted serial killer. Well written and another page turner that was well paced throughout.

Briefly, Jenny is a veterinarian and has changed her name and moved home. Now married, even her husband Mark knows nothing about her history. Subject to blackouts and sleepwalking Jenny starts finding dead animals outside her house but when a woman Mark had had a fling with goes missing she is worried. Has she started to repeat what her father did? Should she tell Mark about her past?

This is a really well put together book delving into the psychological effects of a bad childhood combined with the current stress for Jenny of not knowing if she is guilty or not. Full of twists and turns and an unexpected ending with a shocking twist. A very enjoyable read that kept me in suspense until the end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book.

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as The Serial Killer’s Wife. Mark was just awful and there were lots of things hinted at that could have been explored further like Brett and the history there.

As a true crime junkie, it's always fascinated me to hear about the families of serial killers. Living that close to a killer who probably appeared fairly normal is terrifying. Alice Hunter's book follows the daughter of a convicted serial killer who has tried to escape her past. That's hard to do when a woman goes missing and clues start popping up that seem too close to her father's earlier methods. Does evil run in the blood? Or is it just a coincidence?

I thought this book was a fast-paced read that kept me engaged until the very end. I kept thinking I could guess what would happen, but there are so many great plausible suspects that I had to stay up all night to finish. The story mostly alternates between, Jenny, and her husband, Mark. I really enjoyed Jenny as a character but didn't feel very drawn to Mark and disagreed with a lot of his decisions. I did think Jenny could be awkward talking to others (especially the one-dimensional group of moms), but that could be done purposefully considering her strange upbringing and past. Socializing probably isn't easy when you grew up with a controlling mother and imprisoned father.

If you like a crime mystery I would definitely recommend it. Trigger warning if you're disturbed by mutilated dead animals, but the storyline is more suspenseful than gory. I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley.

I thought this book was pretty good, but my memory of the first book is that I enjoyed it more. But this was certainly an okay read, and I wouldn't put anyone off reading it. I think it is not as memorable but maybe that is because I really liked the first book.

I've not read "The Serial Killer's Wife" but I've been told the two books in The Serial Killer's Family series are standalones. "The Serial Killer's Daughter" was intriguing and the pacing was great in the first half, I think, and the character development of the main character was great. The books alternates between Jenny and her husband's POV, which I found interesting but I honestly didn't like him as a person. I gasped at chapter 7, and a few times more whenever something was revealed but I fear my guessing a few plot points and a few unresolved questions made the story a tad less enjoyable eventually. I might read the previous installment though, because I was still fairly entertained.

I absolutely loved The Serial Killer's Wife and I went into this thinking this was a follow on. Wrong! But it was a fabulous all the same. The Seial Killer's Daughter may be a standalone, but it had the same twisty pacy plot, and twists to make you gasp. Another five star read from Alice Hunter.

I loved The Serial Killer’s Wife but The Serial Killer’s Daughter takes it to a whole other level. Fast paced, full of twists and turns. Just loved it.

After learning that Alice Hunter had another book coming out, I immediately wanted to read it. I loved "The Serial Killer's Wife," so I may have had high expectations coming into this one. First of all, I thought it was a sequel, so I was disappointed when I realized it wasn't a continuation of the first book, nor is it related to it in any way.

I read a lot of thrillers, so I guessed some of the twists when I wasn't very far into the book, but this didn't ruin it for me. The reason I took off a few stars was because there were multiple plot lines that weren't resolved by the end of the book, which was very frustrating. If things are brought up repeatedly, then readers expect their questions to be answered. I also wasn't a fan of most of the characters, but I pushed through that to find out what would happen.

Thank you to Alice Hunter, the publisher, and NetGalley for a free eBook ARC in exchange for writing an honest review!

Actual rating: 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 stars.

Jenny is the local vet she lives with her husband and two children in a sleepy Devon village. She’s hiding a secret her father was a serial killer.

She’s never even told her husband.

Then a woman goes missing from the village. Could Jenny have a reason to want this woman out of the way. Eerily the case has similar connections to those of her father all those years ago. Jenny starts to discover things about herself that makes her wonder whether or not she is the one to commit the crimes.

Does evil really follow in the blood or is she being set up. This was a particularly quick read. You are desperate to get to the end to find the conclusion. I thoroughly enjoyable day spent with this book. Many thanks to Natalie and the publisher for the opportunity to see an ARc
