There’s some people who are not keen for the truth to come out and soon Heather’s life is in danger. Tim was born in Berkshire and studied in London and Cardiff before becoming a national newspaper journalist. He lives in Nottinghamshire with his wife and two children, and writes in a cabin at the bottom of his garden. It's a good story, but I would have enjoyed it more if, throughout the investigations of the main character, to prove her innocence suspicions were cast to various individuals of her environment at the time of the murder! The elements of the story set in 2013 builds the case against Heather as evidence is collected, hinting at a possible affair that she has just discovered. In the present day we follow Heather as she digs for evidence to prove her innocence, evidence that points towards conspiracy within government.

I was up and down with how I felt about this book. One minute I was loving it and wrapped up in the fast-paced drama. Other times I felt like I was slugging my way through it to find out why Heather had been framed. It was both slow and fast; it was both exciting and boring. I am still determining how I feel about it overall. Heather is an investable character, I just couldn’t help but root for her after reading the ins and outs of her wrongful conviction and subsequent 9 year stint in prison for the murder of her husband Liam. Heather’s journey from being released to trying to piece together what actually happened that horrific night all while being a mother who has been wrenched apart from her two sons for over a decade made for such a compelling story. Fast-paced and gripping, T.M. Logan has truly outdone himself with his newest masterpiece! A few minutes holding her baby while the mother makes an urgent call. The weight of the child in her arms making Ellen’s heart ache for what she can never have.I have a few of T.M Logan’s books and this one did not disappoint. From start to finish I was gripped. He offers Sarah a way to solve a desperate situation with her intolerable boss. A once-in-a-lifetime deal that will make all her problems disappear. There is an eclectic mix of the criminal underworld, politics and family secrets an loyalties together with a healthy serving of red herrings along the way. I am left stunned after reading The Mother i want to just type wow but who wants to read that as a review? A couple of this author's novels have already been adapted and brought to the screen and I would be amazed if "The Mother" doesn't follow suit. This would definitely make for a very watchable mini-series, but in the meantime it also makes a wonderfully readable and riveting novel.

Whilst this was another entertaining read, I found it slightly different from what I was expecting.
An irresistible new thriller . . . Logan has devised an intricate plot of shifting loyalties and duelling timelines, but the real triumph in The Mother is that fierce, flawed title character. She's a mother like no other." - A J Finn

I'd argue that this was more of a political thriller as despite Heather being the prime suspect for the murder of her husband, the popular MP Liam - having spent time in prison, she's now desperate to find out the truth. Heather is out on parole for the murder of her husband. Yet she still proclaims her innocence. The mother is a tale of how far you would go to clear your name. Heather has been convicted of her husband‘s murder and the first thing on her mind when she is released nine years later, are her sons. A tense and compelling thriller that demands to be read in one sitting, with a final twist that will make you gasp . . . Logan belongs in the top echelons of British thriller writers' Sunday ExpressChapters written past and present from the point of view of Heather. This format worked perfectly for keeping the tension going. I was totally immersed in the storyline and wasn't sure who Heather could trust!
The Curfew: The utterly gripping Sunday Times bestselling
This gripping new novel starts with a woman attending a funeral, standing in the shadows and watching in agony as her sons grieve. But she is unable to comfort them - or reveal her secret. A propulsive, unrelentingly compelling thriller' B. P Walter, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE DINNER GUEST I have read other books recently where someone has been wrongfully imprisoned and gotten out trying to prove their innocence, and they have been a much better read than this one. I was glad that the timescale that had lapsed was only ten years, as anything longer always makes these types of stories harder to swallow. What does wind me up about these kinds of premises, though, is why wasn’t all of this investigated by the lawyers and the accused before the trial? Surely the trial wasn’t the day after she was charged, but there was a period of time when the lawyers would gather their defence. Why wasn’t all of this looked into, then? Even if Heather were on remand, she would have had a team of people helping her. Thus begins her quest to clear her name and find her husband’s killer. Teaming up with a journalist they begin to delve deeper into her husband’s activitities as a politician but there are people out there who believe the past should remain in the past and will stop at NOTHING to make sure their secrets stay hidden.
The main character stumbles upon her husband murdered and sue not she is under the spotlight for being the perpetrator. She is (almost) certain she did not commit the murder plus she is haunted by the fact that her last conversation with him was an argument and the argument was based on fears he was betraying her. No need to give a synopsis as you can read the blurb and other posts about this book , but you will be giving yourself a disservice if you don't grab a copy and get reading. This book was the definition of unputdownable, I’m already a massive fan of the author’s writing but I kept finding myself stopping and re-reading certain sentences/conversational exchanges because they were just that good. The first chapter immediately piqued my interest and the story didn’t let up until the explosive ending.
