Sequel to The Only Child
by Seo Mi Ae
Description
This is the 2n d book in the trilogy which also can be read as a stand alone. The Only Child 2 is a psychological thriller compared to Thomas Harris’ Silence of the Lambs.
Unkyung, who’s married to a surgeon and just found out she’s pregnant with his child, feels like a tightrope walker at all times. Her stepdaughter, Hayoung, is one unnerving mystery that flails a knife at a stray bat. Her husband has also proven to be a tough nut to crack, even more so when he insists on moving against her will, supposedly for the wellbeing of her and their unborn child. While she tries to adapt to her new life in a small seaside village, terrifying truths from the past, one by one, surface—about her stepdaughter, her husband, his dead ex-wife, and the house they’ve moved into.
