Reviews
"Spine-tingling."-- People "This gorgeously written eerie suspense novel gave me chills as it raced toward an unexpected climax. I loved it!"--Karin Slaughter, author of Pretty Girls "Troubling, sinuous and powerfully told, you won't be able to stop turning the pages."--Megan Abbott, author of You Will Know Me "Dionne's breathtaking psychological thriller is a fairy tale writ large...the suspense in the plotting and the cold distance Helena's voice projects [hold readers] entranced until the stunning climax."-- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Exceptional....Helena's conflicting emotions about her father and her own identity elevate this powerful story."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "If you only read one thriller this year, make it The Marsh King's Daughter . It's sensational."--Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go "A masterpiece of crisp prose and fine storytelling."--Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants and At the Water's Edge "[A] well-crafted, eerie, and unnerving psychological thriller. With a strong setting and swift pacing, this novel is recommended for readers who enjoyed Emma Donoghue's Room and Travis Mulhauser's Sweetgirl ." --Library Journal "[W]ill keep readers gripped until the end....For fans of Emma Donoghue's Room and of novels with strong female leads." --Booklist "Expertly written, gripping, compulsively readable."--Melanie Benjamin, author of The Swans of Fifth Avenue "Eerie and breathtaking, terrific and terrifying in the best possible way. Dionne holds you under her spell from the first word to the last--and then some."--Tea Obreht, author of The Tiger's Wife "Firstrate plotting builds the tension with psychological suspense and action sequences....The story is at once both horrific and fascinating." --RT Book Reviews "Totally compelling and different from anything I can remember reading before."--Peter Lovesey "Don't think you know how this plays out, just hand the reins to Dionne, who is completely in control of this unexpected narrative, and of your pounding heart."--Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean "I don't use the word 'brilliant' often, but no other adjective feels adequate...It's an understatement to say that The Marsh King's Daughter is an exceptional achievement."--David Morrell, author of Murder as a Fine Art; creator of the iconic character Rambo "Everything I could ask for in a psychological thriller: a stunningly fresh and confident voice, gorgeous writing, originality, and a complex protagonist I could really root for. I wish it were possible to read a book for the first time more than once."--Carla Buckley, author of The Deepest Secret

Synopsis
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 Child A Michigan Notable Book!, THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER "Brilliant....About as good as a thriller can be."-- The New York Times Book Review " A] nail-biter perfect for Room fans."-- Cosmopolitan "Sensationally good psychological suspense."--Lee Child Praised by Karin Slaughter and Megan Abbott, 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 father.

    Book was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.

    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    This 2DVD set is in perfect condition. Cover art and case like new. Both DVDs played with no flaws. Description was listed as “Good”; I would describe it as “Very Good”, basically Like New. Delivery was super fast and packaging was excellent. The DVD case was wrapped well, then put in a cardboard envelope that was sturdy and hard to open (this is NOT a negative!). I have purchased from this company a few times and have always been very satisfied. Prices are great.

  • Good story

    Great story… made better because we vacation in the UP of Michigann…the setting for this story. If you like this book or genre, you may also like “Where The Crawdads Sing” and “Girl of the Limberlost”. The latter written in the early 1900’s.
