Forgetful. It's been two months since I read it and I can't even remember it...

The characters were dull and not interesting. The plot seemed to drag, very boring read for me. Even the murder mystery was flat.

We discussed The Wrong Mother by Sophie Hannah and gave it a collective rating of \\\"3\\\" with scores ranging from 4 to 2.5. Most of us believed the book did not live up to some of the reviews, \\\"Shockingly (and refreshingly) blunt riffs about the violent emotions of motherhood and familial yearnings of men...\\\" To some, the main conflict was often sidelined by the extra drama of the detectives\\\' lives; most of us did not know this book is part of a series that features the same detectives and focuses on their lives and work. We found it distracting from the main plot. Not all of the main characters were fully developed and some of their actions were questionable -- needing a break from work, child care, and family leading to a weeklong \\\"vacation\\\" and extra-marital affair.? Perhaps since this is written by an English author and takes place there, our perceptions are different. Jonathon Hey would be another example of a character that is not fully developed. Overall, none of us would probably read another book by Sophie Hannah.

Very disappointing. The book blurbs sound interesting, but this book needs a seriously good editor. Confusing, and unconvincing.
