My Review
The Mother by Valerie Keogh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 stars. This was an engaging, easy to read thriller. Sarah is trapped in a marriage to man she does not love with a baby she has not bonded with and then their baby is kidnapped.
None of these main characters are likable. I kept trying to like Sarah but I couldn’t get there.
The story was unbelievable at times but that’s typical of this genre.
There were twists and even though I had predicted the outcome I did enjoy watching to see how in unfolded.
If you are a lover of a good psychological thriller you should give this one a go!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
