All Her Fault - Penguin Books Australia

Anyways, we kinda meander about for a bit until the ending, which is all a lil convenient and OTT. I can't say more without spoilies. I wouldn't rush out to get this one. Go for her newest instead. It's solid af. Have you ever been punched in the face by a book? Well, I've been repeatedly and unapologetically punched in the face by this one and I have to say I loved every minute of it! Marissa’s pain and anguish is tangible, and the community’s reaction is perfectly depicted throughout. Blame and speculation are rife as the rumour mill sets itself in motion. Small towns will always breed gossip and Kerryglen soaks up the drama in spades. The school gate politics, the clique behaviour is evident in most communities today and Andrea Mara expertly brings to life all the personalities and chatter that accompany them. Jenny is a strange one. There's something not quite right with her but I just don't know what. She almost throws herself into the dead the dead centre of the drama its almost as if she wants it all to be about her because I think maybe that's why she did of it could if just been pure guilt.Thriller donde no es un investigación al uso. La desaparición de un niño y saltos en el tiempo del presente al pasado para conocer lo sucedido. Los policias son personajes secundarios y se centra más en la vida de los protagonistas. Unfortunately the pacing was just a lil too slow and the writing a lil too basique for this to be a Honda Civic Reliable. It has a nice cast of clearly-drawn characters (albeit a lil one dimensional) but seems to be missing the necessary police presence (similar to No One Saw a Thing). Also the characters acted a lil obtuse to further the plot, which is a pet peeve of mine. For example, when Marissa finds out X might have been in a seggsual cahoots with the baddie, she wonders if she should call the police or not. GIRL?????? YES. I really enjoyed the suspenseful plot, good characterization and lots of twists and turns to keep the reader entertained and guessing. It’s a well written crime novel for readers of this genre. I loved that I thought I had the story figured out when but the author’s clever twists and turn keeps the reader guessing. Sharp, sophisticated, and full of suspense - everything you need for a perfect summer read. Cara Hunter, bestselling author of CLOSE TO HOME

No One Saw a Thing: The twisty and unputdownable new crime

La trama y su desarrollo. Es una trama inteligente. Está dividida en tres partes que a su vez se subdividen en capítulos cortos. Cada uno de ellos pone el foco en una de las tres mujeres protagonistas, Marissa, Jenny o Irene. La acción comienza en noviembre de 2018. La mayoría de los capítulos se sitúan en ese momento. Entre ellos, otros que se retrotraen en el tiempo hasta un margen de cinco meses atrás, que es cuando comenzaron a gestarse los hechos. Este combinar el presente con esos momentos del pasado cumple su función. La autora maneja bien los tiempos; la intriga se mantiene inalterada de principio a fin. El ritmo sin ser frenético no se hace lento. This book is excellent. Pacy and clever and intriguing.

The final twists were great, although some were a bit of a stretch for plausibility. I always find the suspension of belief when reading a thriller has to be strong, otherwise one can feel disappointed and frustrated frequently! As the book progressed, and more people got introduced, I found it a little confusing and lost the thread of the story at times, which slowed down my progress somewhat. I also appreciated the addition of Irene – we don’t always get her perspective in a thriller and while I found some of the events involving her relative a bit unbelievable, I thought Irene was a solid character, which added a lot to the story. . Ditto Adeline: This added pressure added to the tension of the book. Someone has taken Marissa's child; the fun in this fiendishly twisting narrative is trying to work out who that might be. Irish Independent A heart-stopping tale . . . Mara's stunningly original plot has its roots in the powerful emotions aroused by motherhood, leading to heartbreak and murder. Sunday Times, Crime Book of the MonthRecommended Reads about Race, Racism, and Demarginalizing History - Necessary Non-fiction You Should Read for Life-changing Insights and Impact All Her Fault is a fantastic read. Gripping and real, with a whole host of flawed characters, it explores motherhood, relationships and friendship in a twisted unravelling of every parent's worst nightmare. Lauren North, author of THE PERFECT BETRAYAL Los secundarios tampoco tienen desperdicio. El trío de padres que critican en las puertas del colegio a la entrada y salida son para echarles de comer aparte. En más de un momento pensé que si la Sarah se mordiera sin querer la lengua, se envenenaba fijo. Corrosiva es poco. Adeline, la suegra de Jenny es otra que también destila veneno por todos sus poros. Andrea Mara has a new fan! This is a dark and gritty mystery, a psychological thriller which is really well written and very easy to read, in fact, it’s gripping from beginning to end. The characterisation is excellent although it’s fair to say that some are far from likeable. Marissa’s emotions are really well portrayed and you feel her pain and although Jenny has nothing to feel guilty about, you feel that too. The ‘ judgey’ school gate witchy coven of the wealthy Dublin area adds an intriguing but fist clenching dimension too. There are some very odd dynamics in the book which do lead you down a certain path of suspicions and the odd red herring deceives you somewhat! The breath taking tension ramps up, the plotting is very clever and the brisk pace is maintained throughout. I did have some of the plot dots but I hadn’t managed to join them up correctly so they made the actual picture! There’s a trail of destruction, some HUGE secrets and ginormous lies which makes you wonder how some people live with themselves. The twists keep coming right to the end where I’m pleased to say one just dessert is most definitely served!!

All Her Fault by Andrea Mara | Goodreads

Marissa Irvine believes her son Milo is on a post school playdate with Jenny’s son Jacob and duly arrives at 14 Tudor Grove to collect him only to find the front door opened by a complete stranger. Thus begins every parents nightmare. Jenny is in France on business and has no knowledge of any arrangements and over the next few days suspicions fall in several places. The story is told from several perspectives including Marissa and Jenny which works very well. Me han gustado mucho la construcción de los personajes, tanto de los principales como de los secundarios. Marissa y Peter son la pareja triunfadora. La desaparición de su hijo marca para ellos un antes y un después. History Makers: Female Writers Dominate the 2023 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award Shortlist What follows is a race against time to find Milo before something terrible happens and uncover a chaos of lies and deceit that leads Marissa to question everything and everyone she knows.

El arranque es potente, así como los distintos personajes. Llegado un momento pensamos que todos podrían ser culpables. Jenny is appalled by what has happened and feels the need to help Marissa in any way she can, with the two women soon bonding under such extraordinary circumstances. Thanks to NetGalley & Bantam Press for an eARC of this book. The following review is my honest reflection on the text provided. What I thought was intriguing was how Andrea Mara looked at how gossip spreads and the different views people had on what had happened. Whenever there is a crime reported on in the news, people always have opinions on the people involved, openly sharing their thoughts and feelings. It can get very nasty on social media when this happens. Andrea Mara explores this very well in her book, and I liked how it increased the tension. Andrea Mara's tight plotting and convincing characterisation make her books both compelling and intriguing. - Liz Nugent, author of LYING IN WAIT
