All Her Fault Book Review

Penguin Random House SA suggested this title, and since I have received my review copy of this book, I have seen mention of it pop up all over social media. This book is an incredible read and packs a punch. I cannot believe that I have not read any books by this author before.

Andrea Mara tells a gripping tale, and while you read the book you are swept up in the characters experiences and emotions. I loved how she tells the story in a manner that leaves you in rush to reach the end of the book. I read this book over four days and enjoyed every minute. Despite the need to find out what happened to little Milo, I found reading the book relaxing rather than the edge of your seat rushing to reach the end. I have already added some of Andrea Mara’s other titles to my Wishlist.

When Marissa arrives at the house on Tudor Street to collect four-year-old Milo after his first-ever playdate – it is not the kind of house she expected. When an elderly Esther opens the door and tells her she must have the wrong house, Marissa’s world comes tumbling down.

Milo is missing and Marissa has no idea where to start looking for him.

Four women in this quiet Dublin suburb find their lives examined as the rumour mill starts pointing fingers. Who took Milo? Why is there no ransom demand? Will they find Milo before is too late? Why is this happening to Marissa? Who is guilty?

While this was an extremely gripping read, I found myself relaxing as I turned the pages, in no hurry at all to reach the end of this story. I loved that, lately I have found myself racing through books eager to reach the end. All Her Fault was different. I enjoyed reading this book and didn’t want it to finish.

The characters were full of surprises and as each one’s little secrets were revealed I found myself drawn into the drama. I loved how everyone was hiding something. As the story unfolds you are consistently amazed at what people will hide to save face and keep out of the spotlight.

I just loved ‘The Coven’ the three parents at the school that stirred things up with their gossip and superior attitudes. They were brilliant and reminded me of some parents I have met over the years.

All Her Fault is an entertaining read that has earned a five-star rating from me on Good Reads. I loved this book, and I cannot wait to read more books from Andrea Mara.

All Her Fault has everything that will keep you flipping the pages, mystery, and thriller fans as well as general fiction enthusiasts will love this book. In case you are left with any doubt, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It’s beautifully written and draws you into the lives of the mothers in this quiet Dublin suburb and will deliver a fantastic twist at the end. Go ahead, add this one to your TBR – I promise you will love it.
