Mother of All Secrets by Kathleen M Willett
Her freedom, her sanity, her life. How much will a young mother sacrifice to protect her secrets? Sleep deprived and overwhelmed, first-time mom Jenn is struggling to adapt to her new role. Frustrated with her loving but preoccupied husband and still grieving the death of her own mother, she feels isolated and depressed. It’s only when she joins a new-moms’ group that she starts to think she’s finally getting back on track. Until Isabel, the group’s leader, suddenly disappears. Now Jenn’s baby isn’t the only reason she can’t sleep. Consumed with worry over Isabel, Jenn is teetering on the edge of obsession. Concern turns to paranoia when Jenn finds clues that force her to look at herself, her marriage, and the women in her support group, who have more in common than Jenn realized. Much more. Saving Isabel means unearthing secrets that were supposed to stay buried forever, and Jenn has to decide what she’s willing to risk to help a woman she barely knows. With each revelation, she gets closer to a slow-burning act of retribution that could easily and irrevocably draw her into the flames.

The plot twists are breathtaking and I loved staying up late reading this fabulous novel.” —Amanda Eyre Ward, New York Times bestselling author of RBC Book Club pick The Jetsetters and The Lifeguards “In Mother of All Secrets, Kathleen Willett has crafted an engrossing thriller with both heart and bite.

I completely devoured Kathleen Willett’s addictive thriller Mother of All Secrets, which takes the life-upturning experience of new motherhood and brilliantly twists it into a riveting missing person story. Every time you think you know what happened, the book transforms, leaving you chasing the truth as breathlessly as the protagonist. Simmering with righteous anger and revenge under its polished surface, Mother of All Secrets deserves to be at the top of every thriller lover’s TBR.” —Ashley Winstead, author of In My Dreams I Hold a Knife and The Last Housewife
