This is one of those domestic dramas where the people are all slightly off and keeping secrets but you don’t know that at first. At first they all seem pretty normal. Getting to the reveal of all of the secrets is my favorite thing about these books. Well, that and reading about messed up people bec...

It's hard not to compare Pretty Baby to its predecessor, Kubica's The Good Girl. Both are slow-burning psychological tales delivered by multiple improbably twined narrators.

I wasn't all that impressed with "Th...
Heidi is a social worker who brings a homeless teen and her baby into the home she shares with her workaholic husband and their 12-year-old daughter. This was a thriller minus the thrill. It was dull and predictable with an absolutely absurd scenario. I did not like the characters, they were flat....
Pretty Baby, Mary Kubica, author, Cassandra Campbell, Tom Taylorson, Jorjeana Marie, narrators I have read a lot of suspense novels, and this one is one of the best I have read in ages. The author did not have resort to explicit sex or foul language to make her point. It was cleverly written, and fr...
I liked this more than Kubica's previous book. Another suspense, told through three POVs that braid into a story of people who have experienced loss at different levels and how the pain manifests.
Pretty Baby was fast-paced and generally a good choice for a quick summer read. Many of the plot twists were fairly predictable, but there were definitely some surprises. I had a hard time connecting with any of the characters - perhaps more development would have enhanced my enjoyment. The ending f...
