The Mother

T.M. Logan

3.81 AVERAGE


This was a corker of a thriller. I found it very clever and intriguing. I liked the main character instantly, she had been wronged but she wasn't about to lay down and take it. She had a plan and would not let anything get in her way. I did find her a little frustrating in that she took some very unnecessary risks which could have landed her back in prison instantly or worse. She didn't always use her common sense and became very careless at times which didn't seem to fit with her meticulous planning and sense of justice. But I suppose her case was very emotional and her need to prove her innocence to her boys would have overtaken her need for caution at times.

I loved the air of mystery around the other characters in the story. Lies and tales were spun around them all so I never knew who to trust. It was very cleverly laid out. I didn't predict the ending, I knew one of them would be responsible but I didn't see it coming!
