Review: Her Mother's Lies - Rona Halsall
Review: Her Mother's Lies - Rona Halsall - October 2019
I was in the mood for a bit of mystery
reading as lately, I have been a bit blah when it comes to books as a lot had
been DNF's for me. I go through stages like this. Her Mother's Lies is set in a
small country town in the UK. We meet Martha and her mother Fran. For as long
as she can remember Martha has been taking care of her mother and now, she has
had her life upended as her boss has just died and now, she is feeling
hopeless. This book first has Martha going to visit her dad, someone she hasn't
seen since she was 9 years old. Here is her first lie - that her dad isn't her
real dad. Who is Martha's dad and why did her mum lie about it? Fran then ends
up in hospital and Izzy - Martha's friend comes to stay with her and help her
out. What will happen though when Izzy turns out to be someone a bit closer to
Martha, than her best friend? Anna is Fran's boss and it turns out she too has
a connection to Martha. Who are all these people coming out of the woodwork and
how are they connected to Martha? What other lies has her mother been keeping
and are they all about to bubble to the surface, causing danger to those who
know the truth about Martha and her birth/ parents? Like most UK mysteries,
this book was a bit slow-paced and I have to admit for me, the ending felt a
bit rushed but overall, it was a good mystery read and sure to keep readers
entertained as they try and unravel the truth in this reality vs fiction tale.
