 Mother- Laura Jarrett-psychological thriller


A mother is driving herself and her two daughters home from a holiday. Their

father has stayed at home due to work pressures. On the way in the dark and

driving rain there appear to be very bright lights which then seem straight

in front of the windscreen. Lizzie swerves to avoid whatever it is but the

car veers off the road, through the trees and into water- deep water. Lizzie

comes to and realises she has one chance to save one daughter, not both.

What a choice. Months later the police are trying to charge her for

falling asleep at the wheel- something she vehemently denies- however

she really can't remember what did happen. Is it someone from Dan’s

past work- he is a criminal defence lawyer and has had a few threats

in the past? Did Lizzie fall asleep? What is going on and why? I really

enjoyed this-there is a wonderful air of tension to keep you within the

pages and wanting to turn faster and faster. A breakthrough and

then another dead end or twist- brilliantly written. A twist and a

wonderful ending, I loved the last part between mother and

daughter. A wonderful, highly enjoyable read.
