About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Mother May I written and read by Joshilyn Jackson.

Brilliantly unnerving ... expertly crafted' Sunday Times, Thriller of the Month

'Jackson raises the stakes again and again' Guardian

'Finely paced, shrewdly observed ... Mother May I is a thinking (and feeling) reader's thriller' Wall Street Journal

It's every mother's worst nightmare.

'If you ever want to see your baby again, GO HOME.
Tell no one.
Do not call the police.
Do not call your husband.
Be at your house by 5:15 PM.
Or he’s gone for good...'

To get her son back alive, Bree must complete one small but critical task. It seems harmless enough, but this one action comes with a devastating price. And now Bree finds herself complicit in a terrible crime, caught up in a tangled web of secrets that threatens to destroy the perfect life she has built.

Mother May I is a pulse-racing, heart-pounding thriller that will have you turning the pages in the race to save Bree's baby, and find the kidnapper.

Overall worth a listen. The plot was well thought out but I found myself skipping forward a few times. I think the story could easily have been cut by a couple of hours editing out what I would consider filler text which did not add to the overall plot
