The Other Mother

De: Miranda Rijks

Narrado por: Nicola F. Delgado, Lorna Bennett, Emma Fenney

When Jane is asked to pick up her friend’s daughter, Florrie, from school, she can’t imagine the horror that will unfold. Because someone pretending to be Jane has already collected Florrie. And now the little four-year-old is missing...

Things don’t get any easier when Jane starts receiving anonymous letters that include intimate details about her life. As a psychologist and agony aunt, she's used to getting letters asking for advice, but these are different. Are they somehow connected to the missing child?

Then, to her utter dismay, Jane finds incriminating evidence in her own home, evidence that is clearly linked to Florrie. She starts to doubt everyone around her, even her own family—could one of them be implicated in Florrie’s disappearance?

Under the unspeakable stress, her marriage crumbles, her children act out, and her once-successful business falls apart. And that’s when Jane discovers a shocking secret that shatters her entire world.

In a heart-pounding race against time, Jane must find Florrie and uncover the truth. Can she save Florrie and her own family, or will she be too late to stop the unthinkable?

Twisted!

This was so well done. It was fantastic having the different voices bringing the characters to life. It added more dimension to the plot.

This was a ride. A favor leads to tragedy. This is a staunch reminder that not everyone who stands with you is actually in your corner.

This novel took a deep dive into the relationships between. Husband and wife, mother and child, and friend to friend. Showing the good and the bad.

I loved the pacing of this novel; it flowed smoothly and kept me hooked. The narrators did a brilliant job bringing the characters to life and generating emotion.

The ending was quite surprising. I had my suspicions. This was engaging, terrifying, and impossible to stop listening to!
