The Point of Rescue
The Point of Rescue | Sophie Hannah
8 posts | 12 read | 9 to read
Sally is watching the news with her husband when she hears a name she ought not to recognise: Mark Bretherick. Last year, a business trip Sally had planned was cancelled at the last minute. Desperate for a break from her busy life juggling her career and a young family, Sally didn't tell her husband that the trip had fallen through. Instead, she booked a week off and treated herself to a secret holiday. All she wanted was a bit of peace - some time to herself - but it didn't work out that way. Because Sally met a man - Mark Bretherick. All the details are the same: where he lives, his job, his wife Geraldine and daughter Lucy. Except that the man on the news is a man Sally has never seen before. And Geraldine and Lucy Bretherick are both dead . . .

This one wasn‘t my favorite by Sophie Hannah. I‘ve read at least 10 of her books and I like her a lot, but the story went to a place that grossed me out a bit. I‘ll still read others, but for now I need a palate cleanser.

Third in her police procedural series and the best so far. Stressed-out mum Sally is watching the news when a story comes on about a familial homicide - Geraldine Bretherwick has seemingly killed her daughter and herself - but Sally gets a shock when grieving husband Mark comes on camera. Because Sally recently spent some quality mum-time at a spa bonking the brains out of a man calling himself Mark Bretherwick, and this ain't him. Great fun.

A great mystery involving kidnapping, murder and dalliances. The sinister secrets of Moms and play dates and complex marriages. A proper British murder mystery on a sunny California Caturday afternoon.

Wowser on this murder kidnapping maybe suicide story! An honest look at the challenges of motherhood is an extra bonus. Loving a dark mystery on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Finished. Finally. A little confusing.

I'm really trying to finish this book. I'd like to know what happens but I'm finding it hard to focus. It may have helped if I had realized this was part of a series before I started it!

If books are food, this series is a bag of Cheetos. Not the most nutritious but so tasty and you keep eating them til the horrifying realization that a) you ate the entire bag in one sitting and b) you want another bag right this second

thesaurusrex @Ukulelebob Exactly. Plus there's nine in this series. I might never escape 8y
