Publisher's summary

From New York Times bestselling author Mia Sheridan comes the twisted story of one detective’s pursuit of a serial killer who’s taunting her…and the familiar connection between them that’s haunting her.

When Sienna Walker is nearly fired from the NYPD, the last thing she expects is a second chance in the one place she vowed never to return to. But she can’t afford to turn down the job offer, even if a painful familial past and a broken engagement hardly make Reno, Nevada, home sweet home.

It’s made even less sweet by Sienna’s first case—a serial killer with a curious fixation on her. Along with his victims, the killer leaves perplexing clues and chilling journal entries addressed to Sienna detailing the murders he claims his mother committed. The case continues to get personal when her ex-fiancé is called out by the killer as well. Whoever’s behind the diabolical murders, Sienna can only be sure of one thing…it’s someone close to home.

As the twisted truth forces Sienna to face her complicated feelings, she learns that no matter how far you run from your past, it always catches up to you in the end.

Trigger Warning

This book has some heavy topics that I wish I would have known about before listening to. It does have child abuse, pedophilia and abandonment.

This book is also listed as a romance thriller and it is not. There is a backstop of romance but only really talked about in one chapter.

Overall the book was okay. I went into it thinking it was more of a romance and did not get that at all. If you go in knowing the warnings it is a decent book on crime the narration is a bit boring but the book does pick up towards the end. I don't feel I waisted my credit but I definitely would have not Finshed this if I was reading it on paperback.

Loved it

Mia Sheridan is a great writer. Once again she created fantastic characters with many layers.

Great Book

This is a very interesting book. If I hadn’t liked the author so much I may not have read it because of the the title of it. I had visions of terrible things that a “bad mother” would do. That why I did not want to read it at first. But because I loved the earth, I know it would be a great book. Don’t miss out on this mystery.

Bravo

I thought it was a great book. The characters, puzzles that kept you guessing and good narrative.
Unique story line.

This book has it all!

Great book, kept my attention and kept me guessing. I would have paid full price if i didn’t have a credit…its well worth it

Many twists and turns

While the romance in this book was typical the story itself was not. The author led us through a riveting story of mystery that was gripping to the end.

Bad Mother was such a good book! The characters were great, the narrators were great, and the storyline was amazing and kept me captivated. This is a new to me author, but I think I may have to try out some of her other books. I definitely recommend this one!!
