Don't Believe a Word by Patricia MacDonald
Pretty good.
Perfectly timed Mothers Day Murder Mystery
"Mothers Day" is my first Patricia MacDonald novel, and I am hooked. Picking too a read that will not let me be is one of my favorite treats. Multifaceted, fully formed characters, and Strong Female Protagonists. Young women are victims and heroines. #Adoption #Police #marriage #familysecrets.
Author MacDonald has a new fan. Thank you for the intense and dynamic read,

The book is advertised as a gripping psychological thriller. While the mystery of the whodunnit was compelling, I wouldn't say that the story was gripping in any sense of the word. I felt more affinity with the potential perps than I did with our main character Tess or any of her family members. Tess was a little dull and her accusations against this person and that person based on nothing realistic was annoying. She was an excitable character that I did not like. What kept me reading? I really wanted to know who killed Phoebe.
Most of the twists and turns came near the end of the story and I felt that they were almost on top of each other. I had to concentrate hard on catching them as they came quickly. Also, some of the twists seemed far-fetched but maybe that is just a result of them coming all at the same time. It would have been better to have them equally placed throughout the plot.
The whodunnit drives this story although the whydunnit was surprising. For this reason I am rating the book at 3 out of 5 stars.… (more)
