It is a novel of family blood and relationships, violence, redemption, revenge and acceptance. With the arrogance and naivety of youth, she embarks on a complicated path full of moral dilemma, tragedy and loss.
Philippa’s adoptive father warns caution, tells her to do her research and think carefully before contacting her mother but Philippa, driven by the need to know who she is and where she came from, goes ahead anyway. Her birth father is dead, her mother though is still alive. Philippa Palfrey is 18, about to go up to Cambridge, until she decides to find out the truth of her adoption.
It is the story of a young woman who knows she is adopted, who exercises her right to know the names of her birth parents, and finds something she never in a million years expected. It is a psychological thriller, a slow-building mystery which starts with little steps then, as the odd details start to make sense, the tension builds. If you are a PD James fan, I should say up front that Innocent Blood is very different from the Adam Dalgliesh detective series.
