The Wrong Mother: the heart-pounding, twisty thriller with a chilling end

Product Information

Lily finally goes to Maddie’s house for about 5 mins and then finds photos of her family and a therapist card on a desk. Lily goes to the office of the therapist, who lets her come in and talk without an appointment. The therapist is trying to diagnose Lily with anxiety? Lily keeps trying to clarify that she doesn’t need therapy, she is trying to see if a patient is dangerous. When the therapist hears Maddie’s name, she is like… oh her? She is VERY dangerous. (The therapist should know, she gets murdered in the next scene.) THE WRONG MOTHER is a really captivating mystery that follows Faye, a 39 year old woman who is desperate to have a child, so desperate that she joins a co-parenting app to find someone to have a baby with. She does find who seems like the perfect person to have a baby with, but as you can imagine it’s not a simple happily ever after. This story is told in two different timelines, a year earlier when Faye joins the app and then in the present when Faye is on the run with baby Jake, lodging with a mysterious woman called Rachel who has her own secrets…

Faye is thirty=nine and single. She's terrified that she may never have the one thing she's always wanted: a child of her own. Then she hears about an on-line co-parenting app for men and women who want to have a baby, but don't want to do it alone. When the app matches her with smooth-talking, wealthy Louis, it feels as though the fates have aligned. But just one year later, Faye's dream has turned into a nightmare. She's on the run from Louis, with baby Jake in tow. While on duty in the Larsons' home, Vanessa keeps Kaylene in a groggy state with over-medication. She also kills Kaylene's best friend Samantha, who is the first to get wise to Vanessa's game. The slowest to realize the deception is the pilot husband Drew, who is well-intentioned, but an easy victim of being duped by the warped mind of Vanessa. I loved the second book so much that I bought the third one right away. Besides the case, we are following the lives of the CID officers and I found their lives interesting. Sophie Hannah is an internationally bestselling writer of psychological crime fiction, published in 27 countries. In 2013, her latest novel, The Carrier, won the Crime Thriller of the Year Award at the Specsavers National Book Awards. Two of Sophie’s crime novels, The Point of Rescue and The Other Half Lives, have been adapted for television and appeared on ITV1 under the series title Case Sensitive in 2011 and 2012. In 2004, Sophie won first prize in the Daphne Du Maurier Festival Short Story Competition for her suspense story The Octopus Nest, which is now published in her first collection of short stories, The Fantastic Book of Everybody’s Secrets. That thing with Stacey was convenient to how they solved the case and the reason why she came to Charlie's house wasn't brought up again. It was brushed away.So, not slow starting, maybe just building, is a good word. My advice is not to put it down but keep reading through the slightly odd because it gets good. The redeeming part was the plot and the twists. They were cleverly put and placed and I didn't see them coming.

The way all the sub stories that had been carefully planted in the readers mind came together to make a powerful conclusion When she finds a decapitated cat next to her car with tape over its mouth (a horrifying incident in a public place, which you'd think SOMEONE besides her would have noticed, but apparently not) her response is, of course, to dial 999 immediately, right? NO of course not. She goes into a cafe, sits down and starts scrawling yet another letter for the cops to find when they get round to it. Returning to her car (now with added dead cat feature), she finds that her water bottle has been moved; therefore she drinks from it and wakes up in what is basically Bluebeard's Castle.This is a Made-For-TV movie, please keep that in mind before you watch\rate it. TV movies have a much lower budget, and so your expectations should be adjusted.

Zoey ( Arden Richardson) and Toby ( Cooper Dodson). There's family chemistry between these actors, and this makes the story so much more believable. Nothing here seems forced, and these people seem to really care for one another. Mykel Shannon Jenkins gives a first rate portrayal of Detective Dawkins, the hard nosed cop, who can smell something is not right. Sally has to do SOMETHING, so what she does is... write a rambling anonymous letter - really emotional and overfilled with irrelevant detail while withholding anything actually useful, just to maximize the chances that the police will dismiss her as a crank - and leave it in the police inbox where it will lie unattended for several days. THEN she goes barging into the home of the grieving widower, asks him intrusive questions, rummages through his things, and steals photos of said wife and daughter. Pretty insensitive and hurtful, right? But surely she has a higher purpose. She's going right to the police with what she's found, right? Because two people have DIED here, the killer is at large, and the grieving widower is in danger of being accused of their murders.I found Rachel annoying, the premise of her irritated me, reminding me of my university with housemates that are too nosey, rude and unhelpful. But also Faye herself, her character looked and sounded unrealistic - her choices and actions remind me of a teenager. I know age shouldn't be a defining factor to how someone behaves but there is no way Faye would react like that in todays world. I found it hard to feel sympathy for Faye because ultimately in the end its her poor choices which could have been avoided. I wasn't a fan of how the ending was like 'pop', the truth comes out and the ending is minor and its finished. The ending felt rushed for such a heavy build up to it. The descriptions of the lengths some people will go to to deceive we’re chilling and again so well written The disappointment of a living legend is enough to get Lily to confront Maddie in front of Michael. Lily accuses Maddie of rewriting AND sending her a college essay for her. Maddie admits to making edits, and for some reason, Michel sympathizes with Maddie AGAIN? There are so many questions to this thriller that will keep you guessing right up to the end. It was an engaging tale with some surprising twists (and some not so surprising) but an entertaining read all the same. I loved the village setting and along with the giant bonfire and Guy being constructed on the village green gave an air of Midsomer about it, making it very atmospheric.
