A terrible wife...
Sarah Westfield is unhappily married to perfect husband Nick. Handsome, devoted and kind, he should be the ideal man for her, but Sarah knows their marriage is the biggest mistake she’s ever made…and she wants out.
But then Nick offers her one last chance to make their marriage work – a baby.
Sarah is horrified – a baby would tie herself to this man forever…wouldn’t it? Or could it be exactly what she needs?
So Sarah agrees.
A terrible mother?
When the baby arrives, Sarah struggles with motherhood and her resentment towards Nick only grows. Sarah feels more trapped than ever, but she loves her precious daughter...doesn’t she?
And then baby Kaya goes missing...
And everything Sarah has ever believed in comes crashing down around her...
📖 My Review..
Although Sarah Westfield is married to the perfect husband she is strangely dissatisfied with everything about her life. When her husband Nick persuades her to have a baby Sarah instinctively knows this is the wrong decision for her and yet she finds herself agreeing that a baby would be good for them. When the baby arrives Sarah is just as cold towards motherhood as she is towards her husband.
What then follows is a convoluted story which takes Sarah on nightmare journey which looks at the complicated bonds of motherhood, marriage and female friendship and wraps them all together in a story which grabs our attention right from the opening prologue which hints at dark deeds ahead.
This clever author never fails to offer up a really good story. Filled with all the twists, turns and red herrings which we have come to expect, I love how all the loose ends come together and even though I try and second guess the ending I am never completely correct and that's what makes these clever thrillers such a joy to read. The Mother doesn't let up on excitement until the climax with an ending to the story which more than matched my expectations.
