laplantec 's review for:
Like Mother, Like Daughter
by Kimberly McCreight
Just, why? McCreight puts so many potential suspects and storylines just to throw readers off that this thriller gets more and more convoluted and less believable by the second. The beginning will grab you: missing mom, estranged college-age daughter, shady past, intriguing secret job. But then toss in a greedy husband, a possible murder in the past, a possible murder of a current love interest, a drug dealing boyfriend, a pharmaceutical company scandal cover-up, blackmail, spying, secret identities, laptops, burner phones, inheritance money, sexual affairs, nosy neighbors...it's A LOT. I really wanted to like this one because I like the fraught mother-daughter relationships in McCreight's writing, but this got semi-ridiculous by the end.
