When a cache of vile family secrets is uncovered, Claire struggles to determine fact from fiction, and her husband, Jason, begins to wonder who the monster really is.

THE FOLLOWING HONEST REVIEW**
Okay, before I start my actual review, I should probably make a confession. I am not a fan of psychological thrillers, which is crazy considering I went to school for many years to obtain my MS in Psychology. Often times, I find myself over-analyzing, instead of simply enjoying the book....soooooo I typically avoid most things that hint at having a psychological foundation. This is one instance that I'm glad to have gone against my "better" judgement.
I feel like we all probably have that one (those of you with only one should consider yourselves lucky) family member with a few loose screws, but Priscilla Martin, "Prissy" will make most of our's look like saints. As I flipped through the pages, of Mother I found myself sympathizing with Claire, screaming at Jason, cringing at what Prissy might do next, and laughing at the antics of Babs Vandercooth (one of several awesome neighbors).
This book was full of riveting twists and turns, and just when you think that there couldn't be another surprise you'll be proven wrong. Mother is a must read that will make your family's level of crazy seem not so bad.
