Today I’m bringing attention to the book Sins of the Father by Sharon Bairden. In this post I’ll take you through the blurb, about the author, and a few tour excerpts! If you’d like to follow along with the tour, you can find the full tour schedule here.
Premise
Lucas Findlay thinks he has struck gold when he marries Rebecca, but she married him for one reason only – to destroy him.
TRAUMA RUNS DEEP
When her past comes back to haunt her, Rebecca begins to disconnect from herself and the world around her. As secrets are unearthed, she begins to fear for her sanity… and her life.
TRUTH WILL OUT
With her world unravelling around her, Rebecca clings to her determination to make Lucas pay, whatever the cost.
FORGIVE HIS SINS
But someone must pay for the sins of the father…
A chilling page-turner from a sharp new Scottish voice.
About the Author
By day Sharon Bairden is the Services Manager in a small, local independent advocacy service and has a passion for human rights; by night she has a passion for all things criminal. She blogs about books at Chapterinmylife and is delighted to be crossing over to the other side of the fence to become a writer. Sharon lives on the outskirts of Glasgow, has two grown up children, a grandson, a Golden Labrador and a cat. She spends most of her spare time doing all things bookish, from reading to attending as many book festivals and launches as she can. She has been known to step out of her comfort zone on the odd occasion and has walked over burning coals and broken glass – but not at the same time!
What readers have to say
A dark and so intense narrative that actually immediately made the hairs on my arms stand up. The characters that have the ability to burrow right under your skin, and in your head. Rebecca, the main character is one you keep hoping for.
Beyond the Books
If you enjoy psychological thrillers, Sins of the Father is certainly for you! Throughout the book, it was hard to know which characters to trust. It featured a trope that I adore – you are invested in all the characters but all are morally ambiguous.
Mikaela Reads
I couldn’t stop reading! It also throws some very unexpected twists at you, that are absolutely jaw dropping, and the story culminates in a gut wrenching ending that is perfectly fitting with the rest of the book.
_ForBooksSake
Sharon Bairden is skilful [sic] in her writing. She alludes to the kind of abuse Rebecca endures without being outright ghastly. Yet, the implications and images that arise in the readers’ minds are horrific. The power of the written word is something Bairden has shown exemplary skill with in Sins of the Father.
Frost at Midnight
Not for the faint hearted, Sins of the Father is a heartbreaking story and a very strong debut for the author. I’d be very interested to see what she comes up with next! I couldn’t put this one down!
