This was a good story, I was intrigued as to what was gonna happen and I'm glad I picked it up! Want to read more from this author

Ashley Beegan is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. She writes fantastic thrillers that centers around some type of mental issue. In this book, she has added lots of twists and turns just when the reader thinks they know what is going on. The book has strong characters, good writing, and the author’s writing style is engaging page after page.

My only complaint, this book needs a better title.

My review is voluntary and all comments and opinions expressed are
my own.

Overall it was an interesting plot but there were things I couldn’t stand. There was the overly vulgar language. Most of the time it wasn’t necessary and really took me out the story. The sex scene was also meh in my opinion. I think there was just a lot in this book that could have been omitted in terms of language and since it wasn’t it really just took up a lot of space that could’ve been used in a better way.

What a good psychological thriller. It twisted and turned and was full of suspense. The outcome of this book kept me guessing until the end and was not a let down.

I love a good psychological thriller and this one went above my expectations! The twists and turns, the suspense, the shock factors! It was all enough to keep me reading, especially as I got closer to the end. I really enjoy The author's writing style and the way she builds her characters.

I was a big fan of Lucy's Coming For You, the first book in this series. Yet Mother... Liar... Murderer? is even better! ...I found it difficult to put the book down. Instantly and completely immersed me in storyline.

First time I've tried this author and would definitely try again.
This book was interesting with some good twist and turns. Though the characters didn't really grab me I would still recommend it as a good read.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

Astrid is nervous. But not too nervous that she wouldn’t kill to protect her son. Her only son. Her only real family. Sophie loves Ben. He is the love of her life. But is he really the one?

This book kept me intrigued throughout. It was an easy read and told the story from several POVs. I still found it easy to follow however. A decent, quick read. I haven’t read the first book in the series, but picked this up quickly, so it can be read as a stand-alone.

This book took me by suprise not my usaly book but gave it a go. The twist and turns went above my expectations. It was fasted paced and gripping tape which kept me guessing until the end.

No Spoilers
I am an avid thriller reader and was interested to read this title. The story itself is gripping and has many twists and turns that somehow link. The writing was good, although confusing at times.
The main theme of these book is crime thriller with aspects of murder and rape, although there are other themes running through the book, such as motherhood, family love and protection, and investigative/detective sidelines.
I would recommend this book for 18+ readers who enjoy crime thriller and horror. It is a little more gruesome than your average 'murder mystery' so I would probably not recommended it for fans of Agatha Christie / Louise Candlish unless you are wanting to branch out with your reading.
Overall, I would recommend and I enjoyed this title.

I enjoyed trying to pull the different strands of this quite complex novel together and thought the police procedural element gelled quite well with the psychological element.
This was a well plotted and the characters were well rounded. Themes of mental well being, coercive realtionships and abuse were handled effectively and sensitively whilst showing the longlasting effects of them on the victims.
The characterisation was well rounded and I would definitely read another book in this series.

This isn't really a stand alone book. Reviewers have said it's fine if you haven't read the first book but I disagree and have not read it. I felt lost, struggled to follow who was who.

well written with good characters and a good storyline. It was suspenseful, mysterious and full of unpredictability. A really enjoyable read.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review the book. This was not a great read for me. Rather disappointed as enjoyed the first one in the series

Mother...liar...murderer? By Ashley Beegan.
The Advocate Series Book 2.
Eleven years ago, Astrid Moor got away with murder. Now, someone wants to make her pay.
Astrid turns to Alex Swanson for help, the officer who risked everything for her once before. Except he’s a big shot DI now, and isn’t prepared to help her again.
But even though she's alone Astrid doesn’t take kindly to threats, and when she finally realises who is terrorising her she makes a decision she will never recover from.
A decision with far worse consequences than any secrets from her past.
A very good read with good characters. I did like the story and cover. 4*.

This is a review of a free copy from Netgalley

I had requested this book before I had read other reviews and my heart sank afterwards when I realised it was the second in a series of which I hadn’t read the first book (one of my self-imposed book rules is to always start a series at the first book). However I took note of the few reviews which reassured me it could be read as a standalone and went ahead with the read.

I’m not going to do a synopsis on this occasion as I would find this hard to do without giving away any spoilers, but main characters are the Advocate (for psychiatric patients in secure hospitals) Summer, Detective Swanson the police officer, Sophie (whose POV is historic) and the present day Astrid (single mum to a young boy) and this book brings Astrid to the forefront of the story and her past which has shaped her present. The supporting characters are all intertwined into the story and one another.

Each chapter is written from the lead character’s perspectives and really held my attention and had me guessing from the first to the last chapter. I did find it a bit confusing trying to remember who was who and how their stories were all intertwined but it didn’t detract from the intriguing plotline and all was cleared up in the last few chapters and a satisfactory conclusion.

I now definitely want to go back and read book 1, and then any further books that may be written in this series.

I would definitely recommend this book.
