Only a Mother Reviews

'Only A Mother is brilliantly observed, both tender and heart-breaking, without once flinching from harsh realities. Taking on a traumatic subject, combining realism with drama, is an incredibly difficult task but Carpenter handles it with breath-taking skill. Highly recommended, this is exactly the subject matter that book clubs have been waiting for' -- Helen Fields
A refreshing move forward from the sometimes exhausting twists and turns of some psychological thrillers, Only a Mother is nevertheless a real rollercoaster of a read, with an emotionally resonant ending that left me both moved and humbled by the strength of a mother's love. I couldn't put this book down -- Charlotte Duckworth author of THE RIVAL
Tense, shocking and terrifyingly believable. Only A Mother turns the psychological thriller on its head, coming at the genre from a wholly original angle. The writing is sharp; the characters complex and compelling; the story skillfully plotted. A fantastic read. -- Rebecca Tinnelly, author of NEVER GO THERE
An unsettling, consistently compelling thriller with a terrific sense of foreboding. -- B.P Walter, author of A VERSION OF THE TRUTH
Elisabeth Carpenter skilfully portrays a mother's love with unflinching honesty and tenderness. But is it misplaced? I recommend reading this tense and compelling thriller to find out. -- Caroline England, author of MY HUSBAND'S LIES
An unsettling domestic psychological thriller ... Tense and heartbreaking * The i newspaper *
ONLY A MOTHER is a deeply moving, compelling story with strong, relatable characters that leap from the page in true Carpenter style. * Sam Carrington, author of One Little Lie *
Totally gripping from start to finish. Observational. Intelligent. Beautifully constructed plot. * Amanda Robson *
