Plot twists happened too early in the book that I was able to predict the end; I also wasn’t able to relate to this narrator as much as other thrillers, but my mother was able to perfectly... (0 more)

Great Read!

This author is VERY clever. Her plot twists were absolutely JAW-DROPPING! However, she did reveal the final plot-twists a little early for my tastes, allowing too much room between the final twist and the end of the book....leaving me ready to just end the book because I knew how it would end. I wasn’t able to relate to the narrator for this particular novel, but my mother was able to perfectly, and so she favored this book over the Woman in the Window, which was one I related to more and adored. So, to each their own. This was an overall wonderful read, and I cannot wait to see what more this author brings to the thriller genre. Clever. Very clever.

Book Rating

A moving, incredible book for every woman who has ever felt a moment of unappreciation, exhaustion or of just never being enough. Not for the weak of heart, we get a glimpse into the lives on Oleander Way... Following four different women throughout each of their own daily private struggles to be a wife and mother, providing for their families while getting so little in return - all while upholding the image they have created about their perfect lives. Jo, Ellie, Shayla, and June, each dealing with their own private turmoil, never finding a moments peace or an outlet for the growing pain inside them.

I can't imagine there isn't a woman or mother alive who could not connect with this story on some personal level. We get a glimpse into four not-so-perfect lives and witness the heartbreak of a woman finally losing it. Incredibly painful yet such a beautiful story, I was brought to tears at not only the struggle and loss but of the strength of those who held on and found the good in their lives.

Lindsay (1760 KP) rated It's Murder, My Son (Mac Faraday Mystery #1) in Books

Jun 21, 2019

We meet Mac Faraday for the first time. He does from a divorcee to being rich in a matter of a few days or weeks. He is caught to be told he had inherent the Spencer manor at Spencer point. What a change from living in middle class.

Once he arrives, there been a murder for him to solve and he meets his neighbors and half brother. What a mystery of a neighbor and he end up with owning the dog. The author does a wonderful job of introducing us to the main characters.

This case seem to be break open once Mac shows up and what up with the police chief? He seem like he trying to keep the murders a secrets and what ever happen to him? There seems to be quite a few murders on the lose?

It seems his mother, Robyn try to help by giving her son a journal. Want to guess who comes with the house? I think this is planned by his mother a bit. Who to know for sure.
