THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER—NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE! “Brilliant....About as good as a thriller can be.”—The New York Times Book Review The Marsh King’s Daughter is the mesmerizing tale of a woman who must risk everything to hunt down the dangerous man who shaped her past and threatens to steal her future: her own father. Helena Pelletier has a loving husband, two beautiful daughters, and a business that fills her days. But she also has a secret: she is the product of an abduction. Her mother was kidnapped as a teenager by her father and kept in a remote cabin in the marshlands of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Helena, born two years after the abduction, loved her home in nature, and despite her father’s sometimes brutal behavior, she loved him, too...until she learned precisely how savage he could be. More than twenty years later, she has buried her past so soundly that even her husband doesn’t know the truth. But now her father has killed two guards, escaped from prison, and disappeared into the marsh. The police begin a manhunt, but Helena knows they don’t stand a chance. Knows that only one person has the skills to find the survivalist the world calls the Marsh King—because only one person was ever trained by him: his daughter.“[A] nail-biter perfect for Room fans.”—Cosmopolitan“Sensationally good psychological suspense.”—Lee ChildA Michigan Notable Book!

"This was all right. The inside cover describes The Marsh King's Daughter as a psychological thriller, but I feel like that's misleading. It's more of an adventure thriller, and is borderline contemporary since it's kind of an outdoor version of Room (if that makes sense). It was such an intriguing concept, but I felt like it dragged too much in the middle. I enjoyed some aspects of it, so I would definitely try another book from this author."
"Book is 10 out of 10! Don’t waste your time on the movie. Not even close to the book"
