The Other Mothers by Katherine Faulkner
3.5

If you’re in the mood for a super slow burn mystery this may be for you. Things start off very slowly and don’t pick up until the very end so the first seventy five percent or so felt a little too drawn out for me. It’s very detailed, lots of talk of parenting and kids and I’m not sure I needed quite so many details personally. I was intrigued by the group of mothers and felt like they were all shady and unreliable so that aspect definitely kept me reading. The ending reveals were definitely the strongest part for me but this one requires some patience to get to the good stuff.
