A chilling, compulsively readable novel of psychological suspense from the author of Little Face and The Carrier

Sally Thorning is watching the news with her husband when she hears a name she never thought she'd hear again: Mark Bretherick.
It's a name she shouldn't recognize. Last year, a work trip Sally had planned was canceled at the last minute. Desperate for a break from juggling her job and a young family, Sally didn't tell her husband that the trip had fallen through. Instead, she treated herself to a secret vacation in a remote hotel. While she was there, Sally met a man??Mark Bretherick. All the details are the same: where he lives, his job, his wife Geraldine and daughter Lucy. Except that the photograph on the news is of a man Sally has never seen before. And Geraldine and Lucy Bretherick are both dead...
With the international bestseller Little Face, Sophie Hannah established herself as a striking new voice in psychological suspense. The Wrong Mother, a riveting exploration of a mother's unspeakable betrayal, confirms her reputation as a master of the form. … (más)

This book did capture and hold my interest but with some caveats. One - I found myself skimming the chapter devoted to the “diary” entries, as they were too long. Two - The character development was lacking and I found it difficult to separate one detective from another. While suspenseful, I think it was a bit more complicated than it needed to be. ( )

In Moederziel zit Sally met haar man naar het nieuws te kijken wanneer ze een naam hoort die ze eigenlijk niet zou mogen herkennen: Mark Bretherick. Een jaar eerder ging een geplande zakenreis op het laatste moment niet door. Sally leidt een druk bestaan met een jong gezin en een veeleisende baan, en besloot haar man niet te vertellen dat de reis was afgelast. Omdat ze er nodig even tussenuit moest boekte ze in de week van de zakenreis stiekem een korte vakantie in een afgelegen kuuroord. Even weg. Even rust. Het werd even een minnaar: Mark Bretherick.

Nu hoort ze dat zijn vrouw Geraldine en hun dochter Lucy dood zijn. Het lijkt een gezinsdrama, aangericht door Geraldine. Alles klopt: hun namen, hun woonplaats en Marks baan. Alles... behalve zijn gezicht. Want Sally heeft de man die als Mark Bretherick op het nieuws is, nooit ontmoet. Tegen haar man kan ze er niets over zeggen zonder dat haar overspel aan het licht zou komen. Ze besluit een anonieme tip te geven aan de politie, maar daarmee is haar betrokkenheid bij deze moordzaak allerminst voorbij...

The Point of Rescue is another excellent novel of psychological suspense by author Sophie Hannah and the third entry in her Spilling Detective series. Once again, as in other Hannah books that I have read, I disliked the main character, Sally, but nevertheless, the story had a stranglehold on me and I couldn’t put it down.

A year ago when a business trip was cancelled at the last minute, Sally didn’t tell her family but instead took herself on a spa retreat. She met a man called Mark Bretherick and the two of them spent the week together. Now that same man’s name is being broadcast on the evening news as his wife has murdered their young daughter and killed herself. Only the bereaved husband on television is not the same man that Sally spent time with.

This intricately constructed mystery is original, compelling and unpredictable. By trying to cover her own indiscretions, Sally blunders into a dark situation of assumed identities, abductions, betrayals and murder. The Point of Rescue was a gripping read with plenty of twists to keep the reader guessing and the pages turning. ( )

Whodunnits are not my thing in general, but I am hesitating between 2 and three, probably coming marginally closer to 3 stars than 2. The protagonist is written in 1st person, while all other points of view, seen about every other chapter, are in close 3rd. There were also some additional interesting ways of keeping the tension up, by building context around the main plot via sub-plots, and also keeping the work human by bringing in both class antagonism and parent vs. single or married without kids perspectives.
Read, Write, Dream, Walk !

Shockingly (and refreshingly) blunt riffs about the violent emotions of motherhood and the familial yearnings of men, along with chilling and darkly funny revelations about lust and loyalty, make this novel one of the season's most absorbing reads.
