This book was well written and the plot flowed well
Sadly, this book was not thrilling at all.
A disappointment

Really enjoyed this novel. Full of little twist’s whenever you felt you were getting comfortable with the plot.

I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide a review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.

Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.

However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x

The twist at the end of this book really saved it for me! Hold on until the end! I was really scared that it would not be worth i but I was surprised

Well, although the ending was predictable, I loved the storyline. It was different than the norm where the father is the stay at home parent. I loved the writing capabilities of the author. She was able to keep my interest throughout as well as keep the mystery and intrigue going until the last page. Amazingly well written with characters that you will come to love and hate.

5 out of 5 stars

Thank you NetGalley as well as the author/publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

The Perfect Father by Charlotte Duckworth was an interesting read. especially as it had great twists and turns from beginning till the end with characters that were excellent. I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend this latest book by Charlotte.

Big Thank you to NetGalley and especially to Quercus for the much appreciated arc in return for an honest review. I loved it.

A decent mystery with characters that will engage and frustrate you in equal measure. A little bit predictable and, despite the promotional blurb, I definitely did see the ending coming.

What a page turner. It's impossible to stop reading this book. It moves along at such a great pace and just compells you to keep reading.

This was a good thriller overall, however I did find some parts to be predictable including the ending which I guessed

Overall the book was good. Unfortunately I was able to predict the ending which was a bummer. I kept waiting for the big climax but it never came

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. Interesting read! Lots of twist and turns. If you like mystery type story plots this one might be for you.

Unfortunately this book was not for me, it was a bit slower than I would like and it just didn't hold my attention. I am sure other people will love it!

This was the third book I've read by Charlotte Duckworth. This book has its pros and cons. Pros: I'm always a fan of her writing style. Her books are easy to follow, and each chapter invites you to keep reading. The themes of her books often address motherhood. I didn't love the plot or characters in The Perfect Father. The book isn't bad, it was instead a middle-of-the-road experience for me. Thanks for the advance review copy.

Unfortunately I have tried multiple times to complete this book but have just not been able to get into it. I dont think there is a particular reason, it's just not for me.

Was this review helpful?

It's taken me forever to finally get this book reviewed because I was just so not into it from the beginning. I don't need to like the central characters of a book as *people* in order to enjoy reading about them, but I need to like them as characters, and I couldn't get there with The Perfect Father. As a thriller, too, it didn't work for me, dragging and too long, with a disappointing ending. Not a success for me, I'm afraid.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quercus Books for the ARC.

I found reading this book I struggled to connect to the character ester. I found her to be really naive and although the twist in the middle of the book was fantastic. I did make me struggle to understand the character more. I also struggled to understand the constant time period changes.

I found this story really hard to connect with. I did not like any of the characters and felt that the story dragged on. There was a lot of unnecessary details and complaining. The twist in the middle of the book was interesting but it also made the main character, Esther, even harder to understand. I don't want to reveal any spoilers but she was so naive. I have enjoyed other books by this author but unfortunately this one was a miss for me.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked thos book, even though I don't always love books with multiple time periods and that are centered around children who may or may not be in peril. It was an interesting read, even if I won't read family drama in the future.
