Description
A psychological thriller following a mother who confesses to her husband's murder, thinking it was carried out by her son, but is shocked to discover after serving her sentence that he was not to blame, and sets out to uncover the truth.
Meryan's journey brings her face to face with organised crime and the underbelly of the insular Cornish community in which she lives.
A perfect read for fans of Claire Mackintosh, Lisa Jewell and Laura Marshall.
In a quiet Cornish town, secrets run as deep as the ocean. Meryan’s confession to her husband’s murder shocks the community and shatters her family. But all is not as it seems. After serving her sentence, Meryan, fuelled by a need for justice and the crushing weight of her own guilt, embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth.
But, as she delves into her husband’s past, she stumbles upon a sinister web of crime. When her life is threatened, her only hope lies in the hands of her determined daughter, who refuses to let her mother’s sacrifice be in vain. Can they overcome the darkest currents or will they be dragged under?
A Mother’s Love is a gripping thriller that explores the depths of love, loyalty, betrayal and the power of a mother's unyielding determination.

In a small Cornish community, Meryan confesses to the murder of her husband in an attempt to protect her son. Only to eventually discover that he was innocent all along. Others in her close-knit community however, were not...
This book has an interesting premise, but the story was unable to entirely deliver on it. There were also some issues with pacing, though the pace did pick up in the last part of the book. The key characters are relatable and well-drawn. And the setting is used to great effect to provide some atmospheric storytelling. All in all, a bit of a mixed bag, but with some notable strengths and quite a few twists.
