Book Description:
Every family has a secret…
When Rachel Porter’s estranged mother dies, she returns to her family home filled with dread about having to face her past, and the people who populated it.
Little does she know that there are dead bodies waiting to be discovered, and a lifetime of secrets are about to unravel.
Secrets kept by her mother, the liar.
My Thoughts:
My Mother The Liar is a mixture of domestic noir and murder/mystery.
The story starts off with the shocking discovery of two bodies. This opens a whole can of worms for Rachel Porter and her estranged family.
Rachel hasn’t spoken to any of her family for nigh on twenty years. Going back home certainly opens some old wounds. It is obvious from the start that this family has a lot of secrets and family life at The Limes was not a happy one.
I enjoyed the mixture of finding out more about the family as well as the police investigation into the deaths. It gives you a better understanding of what life was like back when Rachel was at home, though I had no clue as to who was responsible and enjoyed each revelation as they came.
My Mother The Liar is an intriguing read full of mystery and suspense. It certainly kept me guessing up until all is revealed and kept me turning those pages. If you love a story packed full of family secrets and lies, you are really going to enjoy this one.
