But who could fault Diana? She was a pillar of the community, an advocate for social justice, the matriarch of a loving family. Lucy had wanted so much to please her new mother-in-law.That was 10 years ago. Now, Diana has been found dead, leaving a suicide note. But the autopsy reveals evidence of suffocation. And everyone in the family is hiding something....

Story
Before the woman went over the cliff, Pippa and Gabe were happy. They had the kind of marriage that everyone envies, as well as two sweet young daughters, a supportive family, and a picturesque cliff-side home—which would have been idyllic had the tall beachside cliffs not become so popular among those wishing to end their lives. Gabe has become somewhat of a local hero since they moved to the cliff house, talking seven people down from stepping off the edge. But when Gabe fails to save the eighth, Amanda, a sordid web of secrets begins to unravel.

Story
Do you ever really know your neighbours? The safest suburbs often hold the deepest secrets. Such is the case for Essie, a mother of two. In a moment of maternal despair she once made a terrible mistake, one she will always regret. Essie has since recovered, but she fears what may still lurk inside her. Her neighbours in Pleasant Court have their own issues. Driven and organised, Ange appears to have everything under control, except perhaps her husband. Practical, intellectual Fran can't stop running. For exercise, or something else?

For as long as they can remember, Jessica, Norah and Alicia have been told how lucky they are. Rescued from family tragedies and raised by a loving foster mother on an idyllic farming estate, they were given an elusive second chance of a happy family life.
But their childhood wasn't the fairy tale everyone thinks it was. And when a body is discovered under the home they grew up in, the foster sisters find themselves thrust into the spotlight as key witnesses. Or are they prime suspects?
A thrilling story by New York Times bestselling author Sally Hepworth of sisterhood, secrets, love and murder.
Critic Reviews
'Sally Hepworth's Darling Girls is the kind of story that grabs you hard and doesn't let go. Easily one of the best books I've read all year. An absolute page-turner from first word to last, and a story told with wit and compassion. It's got HUGE HIT written all over it, and I'm going to be pressing it into the hands of everyone I know. A superb and haunting mystery.' Jane Harper

Sally does it again
Another fantastic page turner from Sally Hepworth!
I started listening driving home from Melbourne. I had to stop listening once I got home but I was tempted to turn around and go back to Melbourne so I could listen to the rest of the story.
Such a great story well executed by Sally, pace and tension keep you turning the page (or listening as you go about your daily chores) and the twists - never end! Thought it was all
in the bag then the final and most almighty twist, jawdroppingly good. Never saw that coming.
All I can say is when’s the next book coming out? How long do I have to wait?

Tried to like this one but couldn't continue
I have read or listened to and enjoyed every Sally Hepworth novel until now. After almost 3 hours I could not continue and returned the book (also a first for me). The narrator was great however the story was dreadful and nothing like the usual quality I have come to know with Sally's books. So disappointed as I had been eagerly awaiting 'Darling Girls'.

Triggering and engaging
I really wanted to like this book but found it really difficult to listen to. If you have had an abusive past or get distressed by harm to children, I’d advise against listening to this one. I didn’t know that the content would be so distressing and graphic.
It was a engaging story with a lot of suspense and twists but overall left me feeling very unsettled and distressed.
