Zoe just wanted to help. Now she may have a
killer in her home.
Zoe is happily married to Ethan until the day a
13-year-old boy shows up on their doorstep. He says his name is Micah and that
Ethan is his father. Distressed because his mother is missing, Micah has come
to them for help.
Ethan is wary – he didn’t know anything about
Micah - but kind-hearted Zoe feels she can’t possibly turn her back on the boy.
She welcomes him into their home and does her best to make him part of the
family.
But there’s something off about Micah.
He lies constantly, creeps silently around the
house and towers over Zoe, observing her every move. And his growing bond with
Anna, Zoe’s young daughter, feels all wrong.
So when his mother's body is found and the police
start looking for the murderer, Zoe realizes something terrible. He might
already be in her home.
The Better Mother – the stunning psychological
thriller from the best-selling author of Her Husband’s Secret.
Review:
Zoe is a mum of a three year old girl Anna, happily married to surgeon
Ethan and quite frankly her life could not be any better.
Until there is a knock on the door and a thirteen year old Micah
announces that his mum is missing, and Ethan is his dad. But credit to Zoe, she
welcomes this boy into their home and convinces Ethan that they must look out
for Micah and make sure he has a nice home.
But quickly things start to get weird. Little incidents and Micah
calling Zoe mom within 24 hours, make Zoe feel on edge and like something just
isn't right with the boy and she realises that she has invited into he life
someone, she knows nothing about. And when Police tell her, Micah's mum is
found dead, Zoe swear she will protect her family at all costs.
This is a quick page turner. A little predictable especially since
perfect Ethan is so squeaky clean and clearly has emotional superiority and
control over Zoe, even is she doesn't admit that to herself.
Anyone that like a quick read thriller, will enjoy this book and the
ending I felt was also perfect.
