‘Absolutely loved this book!’ Susan Lewis, bestselling author of One Minute Later
For fans of The Guilty Mother by Diane Jeffrey and The Silent Ones by K. L. Slater, The Choice is a hypnotic suspense debut that explores the terrifying Sophie’s Choice scenario: What if you had to choose between your children?
Then:
Madeleine lived for her children. She’d always believed she’d die for them too. But on the morning of her twins’ tenth birthday her love was put to the test when a killer knocked on their door and forced her to make a devastating choice: which child should live, and which should die – her son, or her daughter?
Now:
Madeleine stands silent on the periphery of her fractured family, trying desperately to unravel why her world was so suddenly blown apart. But as memories of everything leading up to that tragic day return in agonising flashes, she begins to realise her family’s life still hangs terrifyingly in the balance…

I highly recommend this book - it is an exceptional debut. A first class, gripping triumph of a book
One of the best I have read. A definite amazing piece of work up there with Clare Macintosh, Shari Lapena, BA Parris and Paula Hawkins
I raced through [The Choice] ... first-class writing! A definite contender for a top 2017 read. It is BRILLIANT! Refreshingly different, and actually quite disturbing. I loved it!
Five stars! Hands down one of this years top reads. Superbly well written and a page turner right from the word go
Wow, what a debut! A beautifully written, chilling psychological thriller. Taunt, tense and very clever with twists I didn't see coming. I absolutely loved it. An original, clever story...definitely one to watch out for in 2017!
A mother's worst nightmare unravels on each page. Gripping debut. I predict big things for it. Loved it and read it in one sitting
Utterly brilliant, what a roller coaster of a read, ingenious storyline, I could not put it down
Tense, gripping, emotional, shocking, mind twisting. An absolutely brilliant thriller. Loved it! 5 stars!
Full of twists and turns as [King] shines the spotlight on family life
Brilliantly compelling, gripping and enthralling. A beautifully twisted tale with a satisfying and heart-stopping conclusion. Totally addictive
Absolutely loved this book! Such an amazing insight into the tricks of the human mind. A real psycho thriller that had me gasping and even wanting to hide at times. Highly recommend
Oh how I loved this book. I was completely addicted. Five stars, easy
Should find a place on your reading list
Samantha's writing draws you in right from the first page, with a mystery at its heart that packs a devastating emotional punch
A completely gripping psychological suspense that had me glued to the pages and rushing through to the end. It's a bum-on-the-edge-of-your-seat kind of read that you can't put down until it's done
An astonishing read! Emotionally raw and unexpected, Samantha King's beautifully crafted The Choice is an utterly unputdownable debut that heralds the entry of a major new talent. Read it, and years from now, you can claim you were a Samantha King fan from the beginning!
