I'm excited to be joining this Boldwood Book Tour for Louise Guy's A Mother's Betrayal!
Here's what it is about:
One woman. Two worlds on the verge of colliding.
When Julia Hudson is involved in a near-fatal accident, the lives of her children – nurse Flo and her twin sister, high-flying lawyer Ari – are sent into freefall.
As they sit vigil by their mother’s bedside, the sisters discover that Julia, who has always preached unwavering principles and integrity, has been keeping a terrible secret. A secret that shatters everything they’ve ever believed about their family.
But the twins have each other… or do they? Because Julia is not the only one keeping secrets…
With Julia in a coma and unable to answer their questions, her journals might provide the answers they seek. But Julia’s journals reveal yet another dark secret. One that will make the sisters question every part of the life they’ve lived.
If you can’t trust your mother, who can you trust? And – with their mother’s life in the balance – can the sisters find a way to forgive her, before it’s too late?
A totally gripping, devastating emotional page turner that readers of Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes and Kate Hewitt will love.
This book was really good. It gave me a few Liane Moriarty vibes, firstly because it is set in Australia, but also because of the storyline that gives a very small amount of information away at a time, leading to a suspense that you really have to think about without the scary/thriller feeling. I did find that once the big action/climax hit there was a lot of falling action and it felt like it could have been wrapped up a bit quicker, but it wasn't excessive and it held my interest enough to finish the book. The ideas of being in secret intelligence and also using psychology to try to change someone's outcomes in life (job prospects, relationships etc.) was very interesting and a little creepy to think about too. There was also some interesting content on rare bloodtypes and a bit of a medical mystery so that hooked me too. This one ended up being a 4 star for me!
Thanks to Rachel and Boldwood for organizing this great tour! I definitely will be checking out the other tour stops to see what others thought!
