My 6P review: Publication, Plot, People, Place, Prose/Pace, Praise
Thoughts: This story explores the relationships between mothers and their daughters and the impact one can have on the other.
The plot was well executed and it had me guessing.
The characters make the reader think about their own relationships with their mothers which I thought was quite profound. Kim has to also assess her relationships, both with Erica and her horrible birth mother.
Kim and her team continue to evolve.
The writing style is easy to follow and a real page-turner.
I absolutely love this series.

As I start to write my review on this the 20th book I have been thinking back about the other books in this series and how much I’ve enjoyed every one of them. Yes you read that right, we are now onto book number 20. A lot of times with series, be it book series , tv series etc the stories go stale and we can lose interest. But honestly with this series each book just keeps on getting better and better. This is one of those series where I don’t even need to read the book blurb to decide if I want to read it or not. Guilty Mothers is an unputdownable police procedural read that had me gripping my kindle so tightly as I frantically read this absolute page turner. The main subjects of this book are beauty pageants and toxic mothers. It really is an eye opener of a read and honestly once you start reading it you’re In for a rollercoaster of a ride. Again as in all the previous book I love Kim and her team and it’s great to see Tiff developing more as a character. The whole team are working hard together to solve not only one murder but several. When the killer was finally revealed , I was completely gobsmacked. So all I can say to finish off my review it’s a corker of a read and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
