The Other Mothers by Katherine Faulkner
4.0
mysterious tense medium-paced

audiobook review

Holy smokes. This book is wild! So many secrets! 

This may be a good fit if you enjoy:
- rich people problems
- domestic suspense
- dual perspectives & timelines (clearly labeled)

This audiobook was great! I especially loved the narrator for Sophie's portion. There were quite a few characters who were connected in a variety of ways, so it's important to pay attention. I definitely got distracted and had to rewind a few times. 

I'll admit after I was done I needed some help summarizing everything, so I looked up some reviews with extensive recaps. *Thank you to reviewers who put it all out there but have the respect to blur out the spoilers. Quite a few of us have been burned by people who say too much without using the spoiler tools available.*

Overall I enjoyed this reading experience but am a bit torn. I think it could have been just as good with less going on. Maybe even better? I still enjoyed the hell out of it being a big suburban suspense fan. I will be adding Greenwich Park by Faulkner to my TBR ASAP.

Rating: I really liked it! (4)
