Publisher's Summary

Your husband took his own life. Tell the truth and destroy what is left of your family. Or keep a secret that will tear you apart. What would you do? 

Olivia and David were the perfect couple with their whole lives in front of them. When beautiful baby daughter Zoe came along, their world seemed complete. 

But now David is dead and Olivia's world is in pieces. While she is consumed with grief, her mother-in-law Ivy is also mourning the loss of her son. Both women are hiding secrets about the man they loved. Secrets that have put the family in danger. 

Something was very wrong in Olivia and David's marriage. Can Olivia and Ivy break their silence and speak the truth? A mother should protect her child, whatever the cost, shouldn't she?

Awesome read, average narration

The story will keep you on the edge of your seat!!! But the narration is irritatingly slow.

Loving the twists in Kelly’s work

Well I didn’t expect that twist and I’m usually pretty good at predicting them. Probably my favourite Kelly Rimmer book to date.

Heart wrenching; stay till the end

My first book of K. Rimmer's, and I thought it was going to be like a few other books out now-a-days; had the feeling of 'Girl on a Train' to begin with. However, I prefer this story much more.

I continued on and I was greatly surprised by the well written plot and twist. All neatly interwoven, the characters you either loved greatly, or despised intensely because of the depth that was given to them.

I look forward to reading more of Kelly's stories, and wouldn't be surprised if this became a movie.

I couldn’t put it down

A beautifully written and heartbreaking story. Kelly Rimmer has a deep understanding of the workings of a mother’s mind and heart. A must-read.

WOW!!!

WOW!!! I did not see that coming.
I enjoyed this book the story seems all normal and quite uneventful until a certain point and then I was left with my mouth open. I actually had my hand over my mouth as it took me that much by surprise. I didn't realise that I was that emotionally engaged in the story. This is a must read if you like a good twist at the end of a book.
I also loved how Australian this was and it was then easy to relate to.

Amazing!

You've done it again Kelly Rimmer! Once again I just could not walk away from your latest masterpiece for a moment! A Mother's Confession was unbelievable... a gripping novel with a huge curveball that I wouldn't have expected for a second! Loved every little bit!
