Thursday Thoughts: Paula Daly's Latest Domestic Thriller

The Trophy ChildThe Trophy Child by Paula Daly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Paula Daly is a keen observer of contemporary marriage and family life. As with two of her previous novels that I read—Just What Kind of Mother are You? and Keep Your Friends Close—readers are drawn into mysterious circumstances, murders, and unexpected twists while uncovering the troubled relationships between neighbors, spouses, parents, and children. Daly's characters are complex and relatable, and her strong plots move the stories along at a good pace.

The Trophy Child follows this same winning formula. I savored the story and hope the author will be treating readers to another novel—and the recurring characters DS Joanne Aspinall and her Aunt Jackie—very soon.

I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates. netflix.com login

  4. Ah, there is a good discussion about this paragraph in this place on this website. Is the Vietnam e visa apply online process a time consuming activity or not.? No, it is not a time consuming activity otherwise it is a time saving activity and if you read all the guidelines before filling the application form then it also increases the chances of visa success rate.

  5. I'm so glad to have found your blog, we have lots in common! Looking forward to connecting here. United States citizens may apply for a Turkey visa for us citizens (e-Visa) from the Turkish government. Unlike a standard visa, this one allows you to travel to Turkey without an advance visa application.
