The setup isn't new: heroine discovers emergency, cannot rely on police, does own investigation and finds the killer. What is different is that, this time, the problem isn't that the police are too dumb to solve it themselves (although they are rather dumb this time) but that Sally doesn't want to have to tell the police her secret, which, if it got out, would ruin her marriage. But, you know, this is an emergency: someone tried to push her under a bus, and now she's being followed. Here she meets Louis who seems like the perfect man. Well to do, well spoken, well dressed, kind, caring, and better yet he seems to be interested in Faye. Faye hopes that as the process and pregnancy wears on that Louis will fall in love with her and they will become a proper family. I have books 5, 6, 7, and 9 and I think I will read them in the future but might not bother to buy the books in between that I don't have. Sophie Hannah's story is so brilliantly complex that I could not read it too late at night, for fear of nodding off and missing some key elements.

The film was a by-the-numbers psycho-on-the-loose film and excessively unpleasant. In the course of the film, we learn a great deal about in vitro pregnancy and related issues such as "cankles," the swelling that occurs in the feet, ankles, and hands in the final trimester. Then Faye finds herself on the run with her baby. She must get away from Louis. She finds an ad to share a cottage in a remote Norfolk village with Rachel. The price is right and it should be far enough away that Louis won't be able to find her. What Faye doesn't realize is that Rachels last tenant disappeared under mysterious circumstances. I HATE movies that burn houses down. It's usually COMPLETELY unnecessary, (as it is here), and adds NOTHING to the plot. I know, I know, this is a visual metaphor for Vanessa's mental state, but it's not believable. Women tend not to destroy, or even make a mess when they kill themselves. Even with murder/suicides, women tend to use poison/water/etc., means that don't destroy the body. I thought the ending wrapped up the story perfectly. I may not have been completely wowed but I was definitely entertained. 3 stars! While on duty in the Larsons' home, Vanessa keeps Kaylene in a groggy state with over-medication. She also kills Kaylene's best friend Samantha, who is the first to get wise to Vanessa's game. The slowest to realize the deception is the pilot husband Drew, who is well-intentioned, but an easy victim of being duped by the warped mind of Vanessa.Whenever I finally thought I had it all figured out, the author threw another twist into the plot, until finally, as the intrigue seems to be falling into place, it knots itself up again. Faye is almost 40 and terrified that she may never have a child of her own. When she discovers an app that pairs like-minded adults, she jumps aboard. She soon meets Louis. He seems great except when she wants love, he wants only a child and treats this as a transaction. Desperate for a child, Faye agrees. Now Faye a year later, and with a baby in tow, she’s on the run. She runs right into the open house of Rachel, an older woman with a room for rent in her small cottage. However, it isn’t long before things don’t seem as perfect with Rachel as Faye thought. Is she hiding something? Is she safe? Faye is 39 years old and still single. She longs to have a child of her own but with out any prospects on the horizon it appears her wish for motherhood may never come true. That is until she stumbles upon a mating app. That's right, not a dating app, a mating app where other single people that want children can meet other likeminded people and can co-parent together.

THE WRONG MOTHER is a really captivating mystery that follows Faye, a 39 year old woman who is desperate to have a child, so desperate that she joins a co-parenting app to find someone to have a baby with. She does find who seems like the perfect person to have a baby with, but as you can imagine it’s not a simple happily ever after. This story is told in two different timelines, a year earlier when Faye joins the app and then in the present when Faye is on the run with baby Jake, lodging with a mysterious woman called Rachel who has her own secrets…Zoey ( Arden Richardson) and Toby ( Cooper Dodson). There's family chemistry between these actors, and this makes the story so much more believable. Nothing here seems forced, and these people seem to really care for one another. The story having characters who love the piano, not overly gone on about in the book but when it was it was magical and inspiring Mykel Shannon Jenkins gives a first rate portrayal of Detective Dawkins, the hard nosed cop, who can smell something is not right. Knives, added an extra for Ms. Vivica A Fox and Cindy Busby stepping outside of her Hallmark comfort zone.)
