Longlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award 2025, Stuart Neville, joins Harrogate International Festivals and host Joe Haddow, to talk about his book, Blood Like Mine.
What would you do if one night your whole life changed? If everything you thought you knew was suddenly turned on its head? If you had to take your child and keep moving. Away from the questions, away from the prying eyes, away from everyone you knew. Because it’s your job to make sure that your daughter can survive. Even if it means becoming someone you never thought you’d be. And you know that whatever you do, wherever you go, people will be looking for you both. Because wherever you go, bodies are left behind. But you have no choice. Because you’d do anything to protect your child. Even if she’s a monster… Let the Right One In meets Stephen King in this chilling thriller about a mother’s love, a daughter’s devotion, a man’s obsession and the darkness that lives within us all.
