Are you my mommy?

Not anymore.

Tessa isn't sure what to believe or whom to trust. Because someone is lying. To find out who, she must first confront her painful past. But is the truth more dangerous than Tessa realizes?

The Secret Mother is an intense psychological thriller with a twist that will make you wonder if you can ever trust anyone again.












Unputabledown!

I had no clue what I was getting myself into when I started listening to The Secret Mother.

The book begins with Tessa Markham returning home after visiting her dead children at the cemetery.
When she gets home, she finds a little boy in her kitchen. The boy asks her if she is his mommy!

Tessa doesn't know what to do so she called her ex Scott to ask him for help. Together they call the police who immediately suspect Tessa of kidnapping the child.

The press smells a story and they begin to camp outside her home trying to get a soundbite. Tessa is distraught. The press even tries to get her at work too. Her quiet life is imploding.

Tessa doesn't know how the child got into her home but after several days she begins to doubt herself. Did she snatch him and forget about it? She knows that at times her mind is not perfect after losing her children but was she capable of doing this?

Excellent plot. It sucked me in and it took me a while to figure it all out. Great outcome too!

Cliffhanger: No

5/5 Fangs
