Hidden Daughters
Patricia Gibney
The girl shuddered violently as she hid behind the crumbling walls. Through the gloom she saw something that made her blood freeze in fear, and heard the heavy footsteps. She knew there was no way out…
When the call comes in about a lonely woman found burned to death in a deserted cottage, Detective Lottie Parker is first on the scene. Her investigation swiftly reveals the victim has no family to mourn her. As a young girl, she was abandoned by her parents and hidden away at the Sisters of Mercy Convent. Has something in her tragic past led to her murder?
Then Lottie discovers that she had a visitor just before she died. A young journalist, Imelda, had called on the vulnerable woman. Could she have something to do with her death?
Lottie’s search takes her to the abandoned convent, and as she takes in the imposing dark walls, she can only imagine how terrified the girls must have been. The old caretaker on site tells Lottie that a woman matching Imelda’s description had been there a day earlier…
But later that day, Lottie is devastated to learn that the caretaker has been scalded to death like the woman in the cottage. Imelda is the only connection between the victims, and Lottie is in a race against time to find her.
Yet when Imelda’s blood-stained jacket is found in an abandoned farm-building Lottie fears that the killer has got to the young journalist first. Desperate to find Imelda alive, and identify the deadly perpetrator, Lottie needs to find answers from the other broken women who were hidden at the convent. But can she find them before another victim is silenced forever?
A totally addictive page-turner from bestselling author Patricia Gibney. If you like Rachel McLean, Kendra Elliott and Robert Dugoni, Hidden Daughters will have you hooked.
