Review: The Paramedic's Daughter

The Paramedic's Daughter by Tara Lyons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“The first time a stranger died in my arms, I cried myself to sleep for a week.”

Abi Quinn is a paramedic working from the ever busy Camden Ambulance Station. One call they receive is for a terrorist attack at Baker Street tube station….Abi and Adele attend and, as professionals do their job….so busy, Abi misses a call from her daughter, Rose.

The following day, she listens to her voice mail and it’s a bit garbled, but she hears Dylan knows……immediately she panics and feels the must need to speak to her daughter…..but she can’t get hold of her…..

Abi is a mess, so worried her secret will be found out…..even her poor mother, suffering from dementia, mentions that Patrick should know about the baby…..but Patrick’s dead…..isn’t he?

Told from Abi’s point of view, it shows how a lie escalates and affects all those around and not just the person telling the lie……it grows and has long reaching consequences in this case…Abi, while a consummate professional at work, saving lives regardless of the background of those injured, internally she is justifying her lie all the time, while panicking about where her daughter is, and how will she react if she ever finds out.

As she visits Brighton to try to find Rose, that past bumps into her, and the truth is about to come out…….!

Well, what can I say…! This is a very clever psychological thriller and I sped through this from start until the incredible, heart stopping end…..time stopped for a moment there while I took it all in…..shockingly brilliant writing by Tara Lyons…
