The Wrong Mother
The Wrong Mother: A Zailer and Waterhouse Mystery | Sophie Hannah
8 posts | 12 read | 9 to read
A chilling, compulsively readable novel of psychological suspense from the author of The Dead Lie Down and The Other Woman’s House Sally Thorning is watching the news with her husband one night when she hears an unexpected name—Mark Bretherick. It’s a name she shouldn’t know, but last year after a business trip canceled at the last minute, Sally treated herself to a secret vacation—away from her hectic family life—and met a man. After their brief affair, the two planned to never meet again. All the details are the same: his job, where he lives, his wife Geraldine and daughter Lucy. But the photograph on the news is not the man Sally knew. And now Geraldine and Lucy are dead. The third book in Sophie Hannah’s acclaimed Zailer and Waterhouse series, The Wrong Mother delivers white knuckle suspense and Hannah’s trademark plot twists, and is perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn and Ruth Rendell.

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
