The Secret Mother

The Secret Mother 
‘Are you my mummy?’

Tessa Markham comes home to find a little boy in her kitchen. He thinks she’s his mother. But Tessa doesn’t have any children. 

Not anymore.

She doesn’t know who the child is or how he got there.

After contacting the police, Tessa comes under suspicion for snatching the boy. She must fight to prove her innocence. But how can she convince everyone she’s not guilty when even those closest to her are questioning the truth? And when Tessa doesn’t even trust herself… 


I thoroughly enjoyed this novel!  I'm a sucker for thrillers that revolve around a mother.  My heart just broke so much for Tessa I couldn't stop.  There's not a whole lot I can say, but while I understand some criticism that the twist wasn't hard to figure out, I really didn't care.  I was 100% invested with these characters.  I can't say I loved the ending, which was why this ended up being a 4-star read.  I will not hesitate to pick up a Shalini Boland book in the future!
