The Good Mother

byEmma Curtis, Penelope Rawlins (Read by)
Vicky Seagrave is the perfect mother.

She’ll do anything for her babies – to make them happy, to keep them safe.

So when she hears her son crying she rushes to check on him. As she walks into the room, her heart stops: she’s horrified to find a strange man holding him.

This is every mother’s nightmare.

And it’s all her fault.

The mistake she made this morning has changed everything. Now someone is making her pay for it.

If she doesn’t find out who, they will take away her children – forever.

This unbelievably twisty read will have you up late into the night. Anyone who loves The Housemaid and None of This is True won’t be able to put down One Little Mistake!

'A brilliant, gripping read. I couldn't put it down!' CLAIRE DOUGLAS

'A dark page-turning debut of friendship, deceit and lies'
Woman & Home

'A compelling page-turner which kept me reading well into the night' JANE CORRY
