I do really enjoy it when mysteries have the MC in one chapter and then the decease in the next chapter counting down to the moment of their death.
The twists and turns that this book took was so good, it wasn't a lot of characters but I am glad it stopped when it did, cause even just two more would have been too much.

I won this as a Goodreads giveaway! It was my first win!

In The Other Mothers we meet Tash, a struggling journalist looking to revive her career after the birth of her son. Desperate to find a community to belong in and a story that will kickstart her writing, Tash joins a local playgroup and gets involved with a group of wealthy moms. At the same time, Tash becomes aware of the mysterious death of Sophie, a (former) nanny. Unable to let this story go, Tash investigates Sophie's death and comes to question every new friendship she's just made. Can she trust these women? Is she the only one investigating Sophie's death? Or is there something bigger going on here?

If you enjoy psychological thrillers (especially domestic thrillers), slow burners and mysteries, this will be a pleasing read.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.
