Publisher's summary

Christopher would never hurt anyone. Not intentionally. Even after everything that’s happened, I still believe that....

Christopher Harris is a lonely boy. A boy who has never fit into his family. Who has always felt something was missing from his life. Until one day, when he discovers a suitcase in his family’s attic, and a secret about his mother that changes everything....

Mother will leave you reeling and hold you breathless until the very last minute. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, The Sister, and Apple Tree Yard.

loved it..could not wait to get in car and hear more... would stop get coffee and sit in car to hear a chapter or 2...very well written and read....

Excellent Listen

I really enjoyed this book. The storyline was excellent. At the beginning I was unsure about multiple characters. But it all comes out in the end. I could not stop listening. Narrator was fabulous. A few twists & turns. Recommended to those who enjoy a psychological thriller!

Mystery Lovers Will Enjoy.

If you like puzzles this book is for you. Nothing is clear cut to witch did what and who is who. The twist is discovered is the ending of this well written prose

Great writing!

Characters were impeccably descriptive and story was a delve into the minds of individuals and how Wrong we are on perceptions and what needs we truly have. Well done!

Maudlin, self-serving characters

This story surprised me, but not in a good way. The listening experience was pleasant enough, thanks to the narrator, but this is not a thriller by any stretch, nor a mystery in any but the broadest sense. The whole thing reeks of privilege, and maybe that's the point, but it's flogged to pieces over many hours. (Edited to add, as an adoptive grandparent I was extremely offended by the ends of this book, and removed a star.)

Waiting for all the “exciting” twists

This book was okay but not as heart thumping and wildly exciting as so many people thought. Ben was brought Into the story abruptly and I quickly figured out why even though he does not mention again until later.

Started out great but ended poorly.

Loved the beginning, however the ending was poorly! Gripping and twisted end was not it at all!

Good twist

I was hoping for a bigger twist but it was decent. I am enjoying the authors work.

Stellar Narrating

Tamsin Kennard is an outstanding narrator. The story is slow until the last few chapters, where there is a twist I never saw coming. I'm very picky about the narrator's tone and I was not disappointed.
