The Secret Mother is an addictive psychological thriller with an engaging story that keeps the pages turning. It’s action packed from the beginning, and although there was a part where things seemed stalled, I still wanted to know the ending. It was somewhat predictable, but it still had twists and turns that left me turning page after page on the edge of my seat.

Nobody likes to hear when a child goes missing and we all hope for a happy ending. I felt for Tessa as she worked on figuring out who this mysterious child was, while simultaneously dealing with her own grief of losing her children. This is a well written book and I absolutely loved it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for my digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

AMAZING! Just simply amazing!! I freaking loved this book. And oddly what I loved best was that well over half the book I had no idea what was going on! I couldn’t even fathom how the kid got there, who is was, heck I couldn’t accurately tell you if Tessa was actually crazy or not... and I loved every minute! So suspenseful, please read this book! Def won’t be disappointed.

When Tessa Markham arrives home, a cold and lonely place for her, a little boy is in her kitchen. ‘Are you my mommy?’ he asks. How could he possibly have gotten there? He tells her that an angel brought him. Teresa calls her ex-husband, and the police, knowing that someone must be looking for their lost child. The police suspect her of kidnapping him, turning her life upside down. She wonders herself if she’s losing her mind and can no longer remember what she’s doing. Her ex-husband thinks so.

This is a riveting page-turner and an excellent book. The author brings Tessa’s confusion to life, and the reader shares her anxiety with her. I highly recommend this book.

The Secret Mother by Shalini Boland is a twisty domestic thriller than will turn you around & maybe upside down trying to figure out where the truth lies. An absolute must read for all thriller/suspense fans.
