A Good Mother: A Novel von Lara Bazelon
Thriller
“Sometimes it's hard for people to see what's right in front of them”
If you like legal thrillers you will love this one! I love a book that starts off with a bang and this one did not disappoint.
A 911 call was made by a terrified woman saying her attacker was stabbed. It was actually her husband and she admitted to being the killer. She has a new born baby and swears it was self defense, that her husband was abusive and she had to protect her baby from him.
Ruthless defense attorney, Abby, takes on the case; however, she herself is pregnant. In the interim, a young attorney, Will, handles the case for her. Abby shortens her maternity leave to get Lous off of first degree murder charges.
Twist and turns galore in this book. Will Abby be able to get Lous off of her murder charge and is Lous actually guilty? Read it and see this explosive finish.… (mehr)

I am not a fan of this kind of book, preferring literary fiction. Bear that in mind when you read my review.
The plot whips along in this courtroom drama of a teenaged mon charged with the murder of her husband. The defense attorney has cut short her own maternity leave to try this case, raising questions about what being a good mother means at the extremes.
But the characters aren't very complicated (except maybe the accused). And my ability to suspend disbelief failed me several times. Entertaining, but forgettable.… (mehr)

This one stretches credulity at several points. The characters are too two-dimensional for me to really get invested in them, and it doesn't help that I'm not generally a fan of courtroom dramas. It's readable, but I doubt I'll retain much if any of this novel.
