Sue Watson has a knack of pulling the reader into the story with the very first pages.  She has done it again with her new book Wife, Mother, Liar.  I found it so addictive I had to keep reading until I'd devoured it.

This complex family drama is told from the POVs of best friends Jill and Wendy.  These two women became friends when Jill and her husband moved in next door.   The two women seemed inseparable, and did everything together, they even had babies around the same time.  But when their children go to the prom together and only one returns, we see the cracks appear in their friendship and learn the lengths a mother will go to in order to protect their child. 

I loved the alternating POVs in the telling of this story.  Both Jill and Wendy are flawed characters and both women are fiercely protective of their children.   The whole story was full of suspense as little nuggets of clues are drip fed through the narrative.  I definitely found myself on the edge of my seat as each twist and turn was revealed.

Thank you Bookouture and Netgalley for providing me with a copy to read and review.
