#BookReview: The Mother by T. M. Logan @TMLoganAuthor @ZaffreBooks @Tr4cyF3nt0n #TheMother #TMLogan

Book Synopsis:

Framed for murder. Now she’s free . . .

A woman attends a funeral, standing in the shadows and watching in agony as her sons grieve. But she is unable to comfort them – or reveal her secret.

A decade earlier, Heather gets her children ready for bed and awaits the return of her husband Liam, little realising that this is the last night they will spend together as a family. Because tomorrow she will be accused of Liam’s murder.

Ten years ago Heather lost everything. Now she will stop at nothing to clear her name – and to get her children back . . .

My Review:

The Mother is another fast paced, gripping read from one of my favourite thriller writers. I always make sure I start one of his books on a day I have lots of free time as I know I will struggle to put it down.

The story follows Heather as she is released from prison for a crime she didn’t commit. She is desperate to get justice and get her kids back. I really liked Heather and admired her dogged determination to get her kids back, doing things that had my hair standing on end. Her friend Jodie, who helps her on her mission, was another great character and the pair of them make a wonderful team. I was completely on their side, with the unfairness of everything that was happening making me cheer them on hoping for a good outcome for them.

I thought this book was incredibly fast paced and there always seemed to be something happening to keep me reading. The story is told in two timelines one in the past and one in the present. I liked the way the two storylines complimented each other, gradually revealing things to the reader. There were lots of twists that kept me guessing and the realistic plot made me wonder what I’d do in a similar situation. I love my kids but I’m not sure I’d go to the extremes Heather does. The ending was brilliant and I especially enjoyed that I hadn’t been able to guess the outcome.

Huge thanks to Tracy Fenton for inviting me onto the blog tour and to the publisher for my copy of this book.
