Reseñas de la Crítica

‘You’ve watched Adolescence, right? This has the same feel to it–of teenage lives gone horribly, terrifyingly astray, despite loving parents and childhoods; of parents absolutely unaware of what is going on in their children’s lives.’—The Observer

‘Three Mothers is the kind of novel that leaves you with a knot in your stomach, especially if you’ve ever asked yourself: “What would I do to protect my child?” or worse, “What wouldn’t I admit to myself if it meant keeping my world intact.”’—Cape Argus

‘An all-consuming, heartbreaking tale that reminds us how fragile life and relationships can be.’—The Sun

Eh it was ok

The narrator was ok, but I prefer books that have different narrators for the different characters. It was kind of long and drawn out. A little bit predictable. Decent enough.

Kept my attention can’t wait to read more by her!

This popped up in my recommendations and I’m happy it did! It kept my attention the whole time and loved the twists and turns

Good story easy to follow

It was an easy listen . There were some surprising twist that I did not see coming . A little bit of stuff that was threw in but really didn't have any relevance. All in all it was a good book I do love how they carried on with what happened after the crime was solved and tied everything together.

Read it to the end in a few days. But these moms!!?

Ok I listened to this book in less than a week so that says something. But I have to say the plot twists wasn’t surprising. It was predictable over all. I liked the perspective from different characters and the narrator was very good. But these moms! I understand you would do anything for your child, BUT you still have to be a parent. These moms tiptoe around their teenagers like they’re scared of what they’ll think and don’t want to upset them. It was so annoying. If your kids sneaking out and doing drugs and you find out by looking in their phone that you pay for… and don’t say anything because you invaded their privacy!!! What?? Spoiler alert. Help cover up a murder? These kids are *ucked for life. so stupid. I mean all the moms in this book do it. Made me alike the characters. I don’t recommend this book.

Great listen!!

Wonderfully written! Beautifully narrated! Such good twists and turns. Kept me listening until the very end.

A Mother’s depth

The lengths a mother will go to in order to protect her children! I was guessing up until the very end! I was appalled, shocked, incredulous by all parts of this story! I could not put this novel down. I loved the audiobook version! Great listen on my morning commutes into the office! First time listening to this author. Great title! KUDOS!

strong omen

love books about the lives of grown, adult women and their families, mixed with a mystery .

What one does for family

Great story overall but lots of sadness. The performance was easy to listen to. Would recommend

Well read

Well read and kept my interest throughout. While I thought it would be predictable, there was a nice twist towards the end.

WOW!

Such a great book. Couldn’t stop listening! The things a mom will do for her child. Doesn’t seem too far fetched.
