The Serial Killer's Daughter by Alice Hunter is a gripping psychological thriller set in a sleepy Devon village. Drawing on the author's experience as a prison psychologist, this novel explores whether murder is in the blood.
Is murder in the blood? 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... But she's not her father's daughter. Is she?
After completing a psychology degree, Alice Hunter became an interventions facilitator in a prison. There, she was part of a team offering rehabilitation programmes to men serving sentences for a wide range of offences, often working with prisoners who'd committed serious violent crimes. Previously, Alice had been a nurse, working in the NHS. She now puts her experiences to good use in fiction. The Serial Killer's Daughter draws heavily on her knowledge of psychology and the criminal mind.
