ABSORB YOURSELF IN THE POWERFUL DEBUT NOVEL FROM AJ CAMPBELL

‘That bone-chilling winters day when my brother came home for keeps was when I first started contemplating murdering my mother.’

A broken family. Skeletons in the closet. Lives in danger.

How far would you go to protect your family?

When Eva’s brother Ben announces he has found their mother, Eva is determined to have nothing to do with the woman who abandoned them eighteen years ago to a traumatic childhood in foster care. Eva is happy now, in a loving relationship with rich and dependable Jim, and she is pregnant.

Nothing can change Eva’s mind. Her eyes are firmly on the future. But when her baby is born with a serious hereditary illness, she is forced to confront both her mother and her past. Eva begins to find forgiveness. But as old secrets and layers of deceit emerge, she makes a shocking discovery, leaving her fearing for her baby’s, Jim’s, and her own life.

If you loved the The Silent Daughter by Claire Amarti, you will love Leave Well Alone.

Perfect for readers of Lisa Jewell, Shari Lapena, Clare Mackintosh, Adele Parks, Liane Moriarty and Sally Hepworth
