The Godchild

Everything was fine until Alicia arrived.

After her own mother mysteriously disappears, seventeen-year-old Alicia turns up on her godmother's doorstep and asks if she can stay. Carina can't say no to the godchild she hasn't seen in over a decade.

And in a way, Alicia is the daughter she always wanted—she's so smart and driven, and definitely scholarship material. Carina is only too happy to help this brilliant young woman achieve her full potential.

But husband Don and children Tegan and Arthur aren't so sure. There's something about Alicia… Is she just too good to be true?

Then, out of the blue, sixteen-year-old Tegan is accused of a horrible crime, and life for this ordinary family spirals down into chaos.

Does Alicia have anything to do with the terrible secrets that are only now being exposed? Has she set out to destroy this family? Before she can answer these questions, Carina will have to face her own troubled past, stepping out of the light and into a very, very dark place…

The Godchild is the shocking psychological thriller from the best-selling author of The Visitors and Make Her Pay.

Great Read

Surprisingly good and held my interest. A lot of twists and turns. I would read more by this author.

Another Winner from Miranda Rijks!

Pacy, character-driven, and intricately plotted.

(My kind of book!)

Even though I guessed the two final twists, I still enjoyed this compelling read.

Full-cast narrations are always a treat and all three narrators did an outstanding job.

I am a huge Miranda fan and always look forward to her releases.
