Her Daughter's Mother

A Gripping Domestic Thriller of Motherhood, Betrayal, and Obsession

What if another woman tried to take your place as “Mummy”?

Sally Bentham thought adoption made her family safe. She was wrong.

When Amelia’s new teaching assistant turns out to be her birth mother, Sally’s world begins to collapse.

Robyn Clarke is warm, capable, trusted by everyone. At the school gates each morning, she whispers in Amelia’s ear, wins over the parents, charms the teachers—and slowly draws Sally’s daughter closer.

Neighbours insist Sally’s paranoid. Friends tell her to be grateful. But Sally knows what Robyn wants.

And she knows she’ll stop at nothing to get it.

Her Daughter’s Mother is a dark, addictive slice of domestic noir about obsession, betrayal, and the dangerous secrets lurking behind respectable doors.

Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Louise Candlish, and Shari Lapena.

Brilliant book! Would recommend!

The book was really well written and, I’m thinking, researched. It was down to earth, gritty, twisty, and fast paced from the start. I also liked how the author ended the book, it was cleverly done and made you think.

The narrator did a fantastic job. She mastered all the characters brilliantly.

I will be watching for more books to enjoy by this author and narrator. Nice job!

Five stars! Would recommend!

Absolutely loved it!

The narrator was so easy to listen to that I couldn't put it down. Loved the story! I never knew what was going to happen next! A must read for me.

Great Twists

I devoured this book! Just when I thought I had things figured out, another twist happened. Highly recommend this book!

Captivating story and excellent narration

The story was so exciting and drew me in right away. The narration by Alice Sockett was excellent and made the story truly come to life. Highly recommend!

Thrilling pschycological rollercoaster that will have one questioning their own sanity

J. Cronshaw has a terrifying way of thrusting one into the story. At first, the reader is the observer, then gradually the story turns and twists, envelops the reader and makes them feel a part of it. Alice Sockett brilliantly brings the words to life, causing the reader to feel every emotion from empathy, to frustration, to anger, to relief, all the while portraying each character distinctly. One can't help yelling at points in response to the the story's scenes, even perhaps banging a steering wheel in frustration hoping the other characters could just see their face despite their nose! It was... well, I can't say pleasure, so it was a teeth-clenching honor to listen to such a masterpiece. Well done!!
