She’s been lying my whole life…

As if my mum breaking her hip and being rushed to hospital isn’t shocking enough for one day, now in her post-operative delirium, she’s just told me I’m not her daughter. That she has never been able to have children.

The nurse reassures me that people are often confused after a trauma. But I know this woman so well and I can tell there’s a grain of truth in what she says. Which begs the questions: Who am I? Where did I come from?

When I dig into the truth, I suddenly stir up a hornet’s nest of secrets, lies – and possibly a crime so unfathomable – that stretches back decades.

What has my mum done?

Can I trust her?

Or has my digging put us both in peril of our lives?

Diane Saxon’s new, absorbing thriller explores deceit, love, loyalty and family ties.

Diane Saxon has written books that I absolutely love. I had no qualms to choose to read her latest My Mother’s Lies. I have to say she is another of my go-to authors. I don’t have to read the blurb. it’s an automatic read for me.

A dual timeline psychological thriller that follows two women’s stories through time. Told with alternating chapters between Grace in the past and Siobhan in the present day. This is a story that had me thinking so much.

I found it an emotional story that easily tugged on my heartstrings as I read. As always, Diane Saxon brings unique and well created characters. Siobhan, Grace, and James all sprang to life in my mind. This tends to make me so invested and immersed in her books without fail. The plot was so intriguing from the start. One accident and one sentence takes Siobhan down a rabbit hole that could cost everyone their lives. All Siobhan wants is the truth, but she doesn’t realise the price that may have to be paid.

I couldn’t and didn’t want to stop reading at any point. Every time I thought I had better feed my son, something happened that made me just need to carry on to discover everything about these womens lives.

As the past and present slowly unravel, the twists and turns begin to entwine both together. The end result is a conclusion that is well worth waiting for!

Another absolute belter from an author who is just getting better every single book she writes. I definitely highly recommend Diane Saxon’s books to anyone who appreciates a top-class psychological thriller.
