About this deal

There are some chilling aspects to this story that will resound with great big warning bells going off letting you know that something definitely is not right with these two women...but figuring out what is half the fun! The way all the sub stories that had been carefully planted in the readers mind came together to make a powerful conclusion Then she discovers a co-parenting app: Acorns. For men and women who want to have a baby, but don't want to do it alone. When she meets Louis through it, it feels as though the fates have aligned. I'd like to think she wouldn't have done these things if she hadn't been injured and traumatized, but like I said it's consistent with her reasoning from the very beginning of the story. Even at her most sympathetic, this character bothers me, because what happened *didn't just happen to her*. There's a murder investigation and in many ways she's obstructing it, and all because she values secrecy even over her own life, let alone anyone else's. Emboldened, Maddie starts to boss around Nicole and takes away her phone. She also tells Nicole that “Life’s not fair/” (Which was my least favorite response when I was a kid.)

The descriptions of the lengths some people will go to to deceive we’re chilling and again so well written Lily finally goes to Maddie’s house for about 5 mins and then finds photos of her family and a therapist card on a desk. Lily goes to the office of the therapist, who lets her come in and talk without an appointment. The therapist is trying to diagnose Lily with anxiety? Lily keeps trying to clarify that she doesn’t need therapy, she is trying to see if a patient is dangerous. When the therapist hears Maddie’s name, she is like… oh her? She is VERY dangerous. (The therapist should know, she gets murdered in the next scene.)But a year later, Faye's dream has turned into a nightmare. She's on the run from Louis with baby Jake in tow, ditching her damp pokey flat and her beloved piano, in search of somewhere safe to hide. And then she sees an advertisement for a room to rent... Soooooo now that I have told you my sad tale...on to THE WRONG MOTHER. FYI- This is my favorite book in the series so far. Production: Alright. Fair. The acting could be polished up. The children in these movies sounded so whiny, screechy voices. It's unrealistic. Sally Thorning, part-time environment rescuer and full-time mother, struggles to maintain her sanity and juggle the overwhelming demands of work and home in this superior psychological mystery from British author Hannah ( Little Face

I found Rachel annoying, the premise of her irritated me, reminding me of my university with housemates that are too nosey, rude and unhelpful. But also Faye herself, her character looked and sounded unrealistic - her choices and actions remind me of a teenager. I know age shouldn't be a defining factor to how someone behaves but there is no way Faye would react like that in todays world. I found it hard to feel sympathy for Faye because ultimately in the end its her poor choices which could have been avoided. I wasn't a fan of how the ending was like 'pop', the truth comes out and the ending is minor and its finished. The ending felt rushed for such a heavy build up to it. The disappointment of a living legend is enough to get Lily to confront Maddie in front of Michael. Lily accuses Maddie of rewriting AND sending her a college essay for her. Maddie admits to making edits, and for some reason, Michel sympathizes with Maddie AGAIN?

The Wrong Mother plot

I loved the second book so much that I bought the third one right away. Besides the case, we are following the lives of the CID officers and I found their lives interesting. The usual comically unrealistic LMN plot. Let us go through all the things that were wrong with this.
