About this listen
Megan Daniels was only three years old the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, but flashes of that day begin to trigger other disturbing memories that have lain dormant within her. At first they are merely snippets, but, as they begin to appear more frequently Megan has difficulty separating what is real from what is imagined. In her attempt to learn more, she sets out to find her biological mother, but keeps hitting brick walls. No adoption papers exist, and all she has to go on is her possible birthday: November 22. In the small town of Meredith, California, Megan’s search takes on a dire, domino effect - one woman has already been murdered as a result of her inquiries.
As she digs for the truth, Megan eventually unravels a sinister plot that began decades earlier, but in doing so she places her own life in jeopardy.

The story, whilst focusing mainly on Megan in the present day, also relies on occasional flashback and also introduced and moves between the lives of several other disparate characters, one of whom might be her mother. This makes the early part of the story a little difficult with new protagonists and storylines to absorb, but this is soon resolved. The book presents an interesting mystery, inviting the reader to see if they can find the blood parent from the information given. The clues are there.
Narration by Su Mech is good, her voice clear, well modulated and with clear character differentiation even if the voices do not always seem quite appropriate to the protagonist. Nevertheless, it was a good performance.
My thanks to the rights holder of, If You Should Read This, Mother, who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. It was an intriguing story throughout although I personally found the ending disappointing and too contrived. Still, a worthwhile read for mystery book lovers.
Please note: although a picture of Jackie and President Kennedy appears on the cover and there is mention of them, and the assassination, in the story, their part is in a simple news bulletin, nothing more.
