Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
AS CAWPILE:
Characters: 9 | Atmosphere: 8 | Writing: 6 | Plot: 7 | Intrigue: 7 | Logic: 7 | Enjoyment: 8
Total: 7.57
This thriller was beyond anything I expected. Most domestic thrillers can be boring, bordering on funnily detached from the world around them. Such a Good Mother manages to avoid this by being aware of itself, with characters from both poor and rich backgrounds. Instead of leaning too heavily on untrustworthy men, we do the opposite. While there were times I wondered where we were going, and who was going to win, the ending truly floored me and I was pleased with the outcome.
