Not My Boy

By: Kelly Simmons

Narrated by: Morgan Hallett, Suzanne Toren

Who will you cross to protect your own?

When Hannah packs up her past and moves to the cottage next-door to her sister, she hopes the luxe neighborhood and close family ties will be the perfect escape for her son and the shadows that trail them. But when a young girl goes missing days after they unload their final boxes and her son is quickly thrown under suspicion, Hannah must do whatever it takes to protect her child.

Even if that means pointing the blame her sister's way instead.

With investigators swarming and neighborhood scrutiny closing in, the divide between two sisters grows. As one fiercely defends her husband, the other shields her boy from the crime, keeping quiet the secrets that might unravel it all. And all the while, one young girl has vanished, and someone is to blame.

I enjoyed this book

Was a good read a little drawn out but I very much enjoyed it would recommend

Unpredictable ending, thrilling to the end!

The family chemistry was real between sisters and the mother. I'm really glad they explained Mile's thought process at the end which was important for full closure.

Disjointed

Characters reached conclusions out of the blue - not enough foreshadowing to make conclusions believable; disjointed

All the roses to the narrator

I’ve never had the absolute pleasure of hearing Suzan Toren but her performance here was fantastic, great rich soothing voice. I could hear her read the ingredients on a cereal box and be entertained. The story was nice but I felt that the ending was a tad rushed and collected together at the last minute. Surprising takes on child rearing and the differences between raising sons and daughters.

happy this was free

the storyline was odd. I was glad that it put me to sleep, better than a sedative
