But as soon as I held her in my arms I knew something wasn t right. My husband Fox says I m imagining it. He tells me I m nothing like my own mother, and that Violet is the sweetest child. But she s different with me. Something feels very wrong. Is she the monster? Or am I?

Zoe Ball s lovely family photo was overshadowed by her book
But before anyone starts to panic, the book is not actually a how-to guide. The synopsis reads: When Grace Bernard discovers her absentee millionaire father has rejected her dying mother s pleas for help, she vows revenge, and sets about to kill every member of his family. Readers have a front row seat as Grace picks off the family one by one - and the result is as and gruesome as it is entertaining in this wickedly dark romp about class, family, love. and murder. But then Grace is imprisoned for a murder she didn t commit. Sounds like a good read to us!
