lindsaytonner 's review for:
The Donor
by Clare Mackintosh
This is one of this year’s Quick Reads from The Reading Agency. I have enjoyed other books by the author, Clare Mackintosh, so I added it to the pile to read at some point. I am so glad I did. I wasn’t sure how she would be able to tell such a complex story in so few pages without sacrificing quality but she did!
It is a fast paced thriller, with an interesting (and scary)concept and a great twist at the end!
The story is about a family with e teenage daughter who is waiting for a heart transplant, which she gets. The donor’s mother then gets in touch and wants to see who got her teenage son’s heart. The family, against all advice, agree to meet. They get on initially, but the donor’s mother tries to help more and give gifts, as well as spend more time together and things take a very sinister turn. I won’t say anymore other than this is a great story that will kep you hooked through a lunch break or two!
