NEW RELEASE
Trust no one. Not even yourself.
When Natalie Powers returns home for the first time in thirteen years, she must convince everyone she has fully recovered from the mental illness, which has seen her institutionalised for most of her young life.
But instead of being welcomed back, Natalie enters a baffling world of deception. She must fight her way through the lies in order to discover the truth about her mother’s sudden disappearance sixteen years earlier. To do this, Natalie must also try to make sense of the hazy memories from the past that continue to haunt her.
In the village of Little Downey, everybody appears to harbour a mysterious secret, including her father, Frank, the village butcher, who refuses to discuss the circumstances surrounding Natalie’s mother’s disappearance, but who can Natalie trust if not her own father? Especially when it becomes clear her protector and confidante, Dr Moses, is not all he appears.
Meanwhile, a spate of unexplained clifftop suicides has seen the seaside resort go into decline. Are the villagers somehow involved or is something more sinister at work?
Determined to find out what happened to her mother, Natalie must make sure her own frailty and self-doubt does not catapult her back to the mental institution before she can uncover the truth…

MY REVIEW
The Butchers Daughter is without a doubt going to be one of my top reads for this year. I absolutely loved it.
My heart broke for Natalie while reading this. Like seriously how can someone go through so much heartbreak. She hasn’t had it easy.
Home now after being away for thirteen years things aren’t easy for her.
The little village has its own secrets.
Is there strange going ons happening in the village or is it all in Natalie’s mind?
My dad, Granda, uncle and cousin worked in an abattoir. Luckily my visit, the one and only time, wasn’t anything like Natalie’s visit. Her visit gave me the heebie jeebies.
It’s hard to write a review without spilling too much. I can not recommend this story highly enough. It’s so so good. I’m hoping Jane is busy writing as this was an amazing read and I can’t wait to read more.
