For fans of The Couple Next Door, I See You and The Widow, The Choice is a hypnotic suspense debut from a remarkable new talent, Samantha King.

This novel 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 silently on the periphery of her now fractured family, trying desperately to unravel why her world was so suddenly blown apart. But while everyday life continues around her, memories of everything leading up to that tragic day return in agonising flashes.

And that’s when she realises her family’s life still hangs terrifyingly in the balance…

Samantha King is a former editor and also a qualified psychotherapist.

Samantha lives with her husband and two young children, who inspired her to write The Choice, her debut novel.
