"Brilliant....About as good as a thriller can be."--The New York Times Book Review
"[A] nail-biter perfect for Room fans."--Cosmopolitan
"Sensationally good psychological suspense."--Lee Child
Praised by Karin Slaughter and Megan Abbott, The Marsh King's Daughter is the mesmerizing tale of a woman who must risk everything to hunt down the dangerous man who shaped her past and threatens to steal her future: her father.
Helena Pelletier has a loving husband, two beautiful daughters, and a business that fills her days. But she also has a secret: she is the product of an abduction. Her mother was kidnapped as a teenager by her father and kept in a remote cabin in the marshlands of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Helena, born two years after the abduction, loved her home in nature, and despite her father's sometimes brutal behavior, she loved him, too...until she learned precisely how savage he could be.
More than twenty years later, she has buried her past so soundly that even her husband doesn't know the truth. But now her father has killed two guards, escaped from prison, and disappeared into the marsh. The police begin a manhunt, but Helena knows they don't stand a chance. Knows that only one person has the skills to find the survivalist the world calls the Marsh King--because only one person was ever trained by him: his daughter.

Recenzii
Sensationally good psychological suspense - I loved this book
A constantly surprising novel which never takes the obvious route, it is emotionally and intellectually thrilling as well as tremendously exciting
Sensational . . . if you only read one thriller this year, make it this
Subtle, brilliant and mature . . . superb . . . as good as a thriller can be
This gorgeously written eerie suspense novel gave me chills... I loved it
Tension-filled thriller... Disturbing and atmospheric - it gripped me from the first page
Unlike anything else I've read. Haunting and unputdownable
Although there are shades of Emma Donahue's Room here, Dionne explores more thoroughly the relationship between captor and captive, the heavy anchoring of a familial bond and the exploitation of childhood innocence... Riveting
Oh, such a wonderful book... I am completely blown away. Just mesmerising
Troubling, sinuous and powerfully told, you won't be able to stop turning the pages
I don't use the word "brilliant" often, but no other adjective feels adequate to describe this amazing novel . . . an exceptional achievement
A real tour-de-force. Beautifully written, heart-pounding action, finely drawn characters
My God - what a writer, what a book. Kept me gripped
Exceptional...Helena's conflicting emotions about her father and her own identity elevate this powerful story
Utterly amazing... I loved it
This is Room meets The Revenant and has screenplay adaptation shot through it like a stick of rock... the plot is fantastic but it is the characters that set this book alight...LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS BOOK
Eerie and breathtaking, terrific and terrifying in the best possible way
Loved it . . . Haunting and compelling
Original and exciting, with a thrilling ending. If you liked Room, you'll love it
The prose is sinuous and lush; the storytelling is relentless... Home is set to make the season's other thrillers look undernourished.
