Description
I have three days to kill a patient. If I fail, my daughter will die…
As the only doctor on a stunning remote Scottish island, I finally feel safe and happy. Here, nobody knows about my troubled past except my teenage daughter Lauren. I'm a single mother, so it’s just the two of us now, and Lauren is my world.
Caring for every person on the island, from birth to death, I know all their fears and secrets. But they don’t know mine, and for the sake of my daughter, I must keep it that way…
Everything is going perfectly until I am sent a link to a live video stream of my beautiful daughter Lauren, her wide blue eyes terrified. And there’s a voice:
‘Three rules. Three days.
You must murder one of your patients.
You must not tell another soul.
You must not get caught.
If you fail, your daughter dies…’
A jaw-dropping psychological thriller from multi-million copy bestseller J M Dalgliesh. This utterly addictive, pulse-pounding read is packed with twists you’ll never forget. Perfect for anyone who loves Freida McFadden, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.

Mandy W, Reviewer
I do love a good fast paced thriller. And Family Doctor fit the bill perfectly. It was dark and addictive with plenty of twists and dodgy characters. I loved the isolated setting of a remote island off the coast of Scotland, where our main protagonist is the only doctor.
Doctor Kelly and her daughter moved to this island after a tragedy and things seem to be going well. That is until she gets a call that somebody has her daughter and she must follow all the kidnappers instructions if she wants her back alive. But can she do what they ask? Who has her and why? Is this revenge or something else.
Thank to Bookouture for my early copy of this book to read. Publishes on January 2nd.
