Mother

By: S. E. Lynes

Narrated by: Tamsin Kennard

Christopher would never hurt anyone. Not intentionally. Even after everything that’s happened, I still believe that....

Christopher Harris is a lonely boy. A boy who has never fit into his family. Who has always felt something was missing from his life. Until one day, when he discovers a suitcase in his family’s attic, and a secret about his mother that changes everything....

Mother will leave you reeling and hold you breathless until the very last minute. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, The Sister, and Apple Tree Yard.

loved it..could not wait to get in car and hear more... would stop get coffee and sit in car to hear a chapter or 2...very well written and read....

Very boring

I can’t believe this book got 5 stars from the beginning until I reach chapter 12 was so boring not worth the credit very disappointed

Maudlin, self-serving characters

This story surprised me, but not in a good way. The listening experience was pleasant enough, thanks to the narrator, but this is not a thriller by any stretch, nor a mystery in any but the broadest sense. The whole thing reeks of privilege, and maybe that's the point, but it's flogged to pieces over many hours. (Edited to add, as an adoptive grandparent I was extremely offended by the ends of this book, and removed a star.)

Excellent Listen

I really enjoyed this book. The storyline was excellent. At the beginning I was unsure about multiple characters. But it all comes out in the end. I could not stop listening. Narrator was fabulous. A few twists & turns. Recommended to those who enjoy a psychological thriller!

Mystery Lovers Will Enjoy.

If you like puzzles this book is for you. Nothing is clear cut to witch did what and who is who. The twist is discovered is the ending of this well written prose
