Only a Mother
Elisabeth Carpenter
Synopsis "Only a Mother"
Review: 'Only A Mother is brilliantly observed, both tender and heart-breaking, without once flinching from harsh realities. Taking on a traumatic subject, combining realism with drama, is an incredibly difficult task but Carpenter handles it with breath-taking skill. Highly recommended, this is exactly the subject matter that book clubs have been waiting for' (Helen Fields); A refreshing move forward from the sometimes exhausting twists and turns of some psychological thrillers, Only a Mother is nevertheless a real rollercoaster of a read, with an emotionally resonant ending that left me both moved and humbled by the strength of a mother's love. I couldn't put this book down (Charlotte Duckworth author of THE RIVAL); Tense, shocking and terrifyingly believable. Only A Mother turns the psychological thriller on its head, coming at the genre from a wholly original angle. The writing is sharp; the characters complex and compelling; the story skillfully plotted. A fantastic read. (Rebecca Tinnelly, author of NEVER GO THERE); An unsettling, consistently compelling thriller with a terrific sense of foreboding. (B.P Walter, author of A VERSION OF THE TRUTH); Elisabeth Carpenter skilfully portrays a mother's love with unflinching honesty and tenderness. But is it misplaced? I recommend reading this tense and compelling thriller to find out. (Caroline England, author of MY HUSBAND'S LIES); An unsettling domestic psychological thriller. Tense and heartbreaking (The i newspaper); ONLY A MOTHER is a deeply moving, compelling story with strong, relatable characters that leap from the page in true Carpenter style. (Sam Carrington, author of One Little Lie). Book Description: A domestic psychological thriller with a fresh twist for fans of The Fear by CL Taylor Lies by T.M. Logan. A book that plays on the morality of the figure who knows a killer better than anyone: their mother. About the Author: Elisabeth Carpenter lives in Preston with her family.
