BLOG TOUR ~ The Mothers by Sarah J Naughton

Hi Everyone,

Today was my stop on the Blog Tour for The Mothers by Sarah J Naughton where I've a review from her latest novel. I was thrilled to be asked by Tracy Fenton from Compulsive Readers in conjunction with Trapeze Books to take part along with some other fab book bloggers. You can find out who else has taken part in this fabulous Blog Tour at the end of this review so without further ado, here it is:

Five Women.
They meet at their NCT Group. The only thing they have in common is they're all pregnant.

Five Secrets.
Three years later, they are all good friends. Aren't they?

One Missing Husband.

Now the police have come knocking. Someone knows something.

And the trouble with secrets is that someone always tells.

Well, where do I start with this review only with I LOVED it. This book mainly centres around 2 characters Bella and her husband Ewan. The chapters alternate between present time and over the last 3 years and right upto the events where we discover what has actually happened with the missing husband. The police are on the case where we meet DI Iona who is told in the present time where she is asking questions of all the friends where she soon discover that things don't seem to add up and she suspects that the five friends know more than they're letting on.

As the story unfolds we see a side to Ewan that I wasn't very keen on & did feel sorry for Bella and her son Teddy. The past is all told from all five women's point of view and as the tension builds as to what happened I couldn't turn the pages fast enough and when what happened to the husband is finally revealed I was left open mouthed, I didn't see that twist coming which I loved as nothing worse guessing what's going to happen before you finish. There were plenty of twists and shock and throughout this read but the finalone was a jaw dropper. I've read a few books by Sarah and I've loved each one of them and she is becoming one of my favourite thriller writers and I can't wait to see what she does next.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The Mothers is available in all good bookshops, libraries, on audio and on Kindle where it is currently £3.99 at the time of publication of this review.
