The Wrong Mother: A Novel Audiobook

" Wow! What a story, I didn't know what to think with so many twists and turns. It was difficult at first, I'm not use to the English vocabulary and sayings, but half way through the book, I didn't even notice anymore. I wonder how authors come up with these ideas and plots! "

" Really enjoyed this book - it's a page turner! "

" I really enjoyed the first four fifths of this book. The build up to the climax was suspenseful and well written, but the actual climax and the end of the book disappointed me. "

" A bit of a slow start, but turning into a good British mystery. "

" I found the writing of this story to be very captivating. It definitely drew me in and there were some interesting moral dilemmas presented about life, the choices we make and how those affect our lives. Overall I had a hard time putting this book down and enjoyed the twists. "

" I wish I had read these books in the right order as the back story of the reoccuring characters is all out of sync for me now! However Sophie Hannah has impressed me yet again - I think I am a firm fan. A twisted, psychological thriller that had me engrossed right the way through. I still dislike the reoccuring characters - even more so with every book I read. I dont believe they are really needed and yet they get a reaction from me which is rare. Being a Bookseller I read a hell of a lot of books and most I read, once I have finished I put it down with a 'that was quite nice' and then forget about them. Hannah's books make me finish with a different sort of feeling in me - an intense dislike for the characters that reoccur in every book and also a satisfied one because the psychological twista are fantastic. "

" Following teh same style as Little Face, this book again examinez teh interworkings of families, especially those of working mothers and there children. The plot is good and keeps you guessing till the end. As always, all gets revealed in the end. "

" Sophie Hannah has done it once again! I just love her. "

" Would duplicate exactly what the previous reviewer has said...starts brilliantly with the middle part of the book keeping you interested albeit trying to distinguish who is who and finishing rather as a horror story than a criminial one! Disappointing! "

" Ok but nowhere near as good as tana French's novels (who hannah has been compared to). "

" I found Sally Thornton to be an IDIOT, for multiple reasons. There were parts of this that were exciting, but I thought it was so convoluted that I had a hard time figuring out what was going on, even after the mystery was solved. Overall, I didn't like it. "

" Interesting premise; poorly executed "

" Considering the write up I thought this was weak. Not in the last frightening at all in fact I thought one of the main characters, Sally Thorning, was pathetic and totally unbelievable I had no sympathy for her at all. "

" The plot is over-the-top to the point of absurd. However, if you can accept that, the tale is well told. "

" Holy cow!!! In the language of the author I was gobsmacked!!! I am not great at unraveling mysteries and this was no exception...I was lost for most of it, but I was completely taken in by this story and where it was going. I couldn't put it down and I will definitely be reading her first novel now! "

" I thought this was a clever book with interesting twists and turns, especially at the end. I enjoyed reading it a lot!--Nancy "

" I really enjoyed this book . . well written, suspenseful. Looking forward to reading other books by this author! "

" This was a very complicated story that was quite difficult to believe, but I enjoyed the people involved in the story. "

" This was my second of Hannah's books. It was interesting and engaging, even though there were a couple of little details that weren't adequately explained. But in the end, it left me with a pretty creepy feeling. As did The Dead Lie Down. Creepy. So I don't think I'll be reading more of her books. "

" Excellent English whodunnit. I just had no idea through the entire novel and even when I thought the conclusion had been concluded - it hadn't! The surprises kept coming. Really hard-to-put down novel. Loved it! "

" Good mystery - drags a little toward the end. "

" Suspenseful with a twist at the end. "

" The twists and turns of this book kept me turning the pages. I thought it was better than Gone Girl. "

" I can't say I thought this book was that well written and I often was confused by all of the characters, but I think the idea behind the book was compelling and it kept me guessing to the very end. That's why the 4 stars. I would read another of Hannah's books. "

" The author did something really challenging, and it more or less worked. I kept wondering who was truly who throughout this book, which kept me confused, but also kept me reading. I thought the solution was improbable, but overall, it was a good suspenseful read. "

" I felt very annoyed with the main character Sally. I felt the book just rambled on and on and was not a thriller at all. There were points where it was strong, but overall it was not one of the best crime/thriller novels that I have read. "

" Love this psycho drama type of book. The story is more about the why than the how. A man was unhappy with his family, so he decided to get a new family. He just chose a unique why to go about it. "

" This was a very creepy book but I couldn't put it down. "

" Ok. Very strange premise, but I really appreciated her portrayal of the working professional with two small kids. Can relate. "

" I really wanted this book to be better. The story stared out fine, but ended terrbily. I do not like books that invent facts at the end to make the whole thing wrap up nicely. "

" Good mystery book- loved the ending- "

" The book was okay. The pace was kind of slow, but not intolerably so. The ending left more questions unanswered than answered. And not in the good way. "

" Very interesting--another great mystery. I liked it more than "Little Face" but not as much as "The Truth Teller's Lie." She continues to put Joyce Carol Oates to shame. "

" meh. This book was ok, very predictable, pretty standard murder mystery storyline. I wan't impressed by the characters. It was sometimes hard to keep the characters straight since there were so many people's points of view. I don't think I feel the need to read any more of her books. "

" I couldn't put this down! It dragged a little while Sally was kidnapped (and I'm still not sure why they couldn't figure out Hey was Amy's father any sooner) but overall it was very compelling. I will definitely look up more of Hannah's work! "

" it was interesting....I liked it but it was a little anti-climatic on the "why" the murders happened, I thought that part should have been better. "
