The Mother's Fault: A totally addictive psychological thriller full of twists

The past is catching up with you. Your child is paying the price.


I love my eight-year-old son Riley more than anything. Yet the truth is, I fear for him.


It's hard being a single mother. It's even harder when you can't let anyone come close. When you avoid parents at the school gate, scared you'll give too much away.


Riley thinks his father died in a car crash. He has no idea what really happened eight years ago - why I ended up sobbing in the dark on the kitchen floor.


Every mother is protective of her child. But not every mother is constantly glancing over her shoulder.


Everyone has secrets. But not everyone is terrified of their lies being exposed, their lives unravelling when it all comes out.


So when Riley disappears from our garden on a cold winter's afternoon, I know that he hasn't just run away.


I'd do anything to save my son - but if I tell the truth, I might lose him for ever...


A totally gripping psychological thriller that will get your pulse racing like crazy as it hits you with twist after twist after twist! If you loved The Wife Between Us or The Girl on the Train you'll be utterly glued to this page-turner.

I always love an easy and quick psychology thriller and The Mother's Fault by Nicole Trope is one such read. It was surely a book that I just couldn't put down and I completed it in a couple of days. The Mother's Fault is the story of Beverly, a single Mother who have a secret and constantly fears for her son eight year old Riley. Riley is a cute boy who loves climbing trees and sharing his feeling with him friend Benji. He knows his father is dead. But when he starts receiving gifts in the mailbox from a anonymous person, he thinks his father is live. When suddenly one evening, he go missing and Beverly fears that she will lose her son, if police turn up. She needs them to save her son but how much truth is she willing to tell the police? Halfway through the book, I thought I had figured out the plot completely, when the author threw in this twist that I had not seen coming and left me thinking why did this not come to my mind. Like all thrillers, this book too had lovable characters as well as characters that you wished did not exist. I also like the way the author, let the characters tell their story through the chapters dedicated under their name. This is my first book by the author and I'm hoping to read more books by her in future. Overall, a good psychology thriller and I total recommend it. A big Thanks to Netgalley, Bookouture and Author Nicole Trope for this ARC.
