I admit, when I started this book I thought to myself "Thriller? Psychological? I wouldn't call it that at all." But, whoa boy, once I really got into it, that psychology and thrill just snuck right up on me. This is a fast-paced thriller that I could NOT put down! I read this in one day because I r...

3 1/2Reviewed it when I read it a few years ago. Upon reading that review recently, I didn't like it. So I deleted it.

Before you begin this book, make sure you have lots of free time because you will not be able to put it down! Did you like Gone Girl? I thought this was even more of a cliffhanger. When it ended, I kind of hoped that there would be a sequel to follow. In order of age, there are three children: Rose,...

Mother, Mother I don't really know where to start with this review. I enjoyed the book but found it quite difficult to read. Josephine Hurst is a vile person, totally self obsessed, very controlling and very mentally abusive. At times it was quite sad the way the way her controlling affected the pe...

Joint review with Sylvia Crabtree.Well this isn't our usual book at all, we usually stick to romance, but when mum won it in the Goodreads First Reads/Giveaways we thought we'd give it a try. And surprisingly, we liked it.We think it was the suspense, wondering what had happened that night at dinner...

I've been reading psychological thrillers like they are going out of print recently. I think it's to do with the fact that I wasn't reading as much as I normally did for a long period, and a good psychological thriller has the ability to really grab me and keep me reading no matter what. Told in t...

As I read Mother, Mother, I don't think my stomach relaxed for a minute. Josephine is like Mommy Dearest on crack. She would give Joan Crawford a run for her money. The sad part of this story, is that so many people around and within the family are too wrapped up in their own stuff to really see...
