All Her Fault: The breathlessly twisty Sunday Times bestseller everyone is talking about

Product Information

What I thought was intriguing was how Andrea Mara looked at how gossip spreads and the different views people had on what had happened. Whenever there is a crime reported on in the news, people always have opinions on the people involved, openly sharing their thoughts and feelings. It can get very nasty on social media when this happens. Andrea Mara explores this very well in her book, and I liked how it increased the tension. Overall, this is such a good novel and one I’d have no hesitation in recommending to fans of the genre. Andrea Mara is a must read for me from now on! By the time we reached our front steps Walter had forgotten he was a Cunningham . Jem ran to the kitchen and asked Cal¬purnia to set an extra plate, we had company. Atticus greeted Walter and began a discussion about crops neither Jem nor I could follow. Miss Caroline smiled, blew her nose, said, 'Thank you, dar¬lings,' dispersed us, opened a book and mystified the first grade with a long narrative about a toadfrog that lived in a hall. Reason I can't pass the first grade, Mr Finch, is I've had to stay out ever' spring an' help Papa with the choppin', but there's another'n at the house now that's field size.'

Marissa goes to collect her young son from a playdate at a school friend’s house but when she turns up, her son is not there and the lady at the house knows nothing about it. The scene is set from the outset and I was gripped. No I can't,' said Atticus. 'I have to make a living. Besides, they'd put me in jail if I kept you at home – dose of magnesia for you tonight and school tomorrow.' Los secundarios tampoco tienen desperdicio. El trío de padres que critican en las puertas del colegio a la entrada y salida son para echarles de comer aparte. En más de un momento pensé que si la Sarah se mordiera sin querer la lengua, se envenenaba fijo. Corrosiva es poco. Adeline, la suegra de Jenny es otra que también destila veneno por todos sus poros. until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.' Atticus said I had learned many things today, and Miss Caro¬line had learned several things herself. She had learned not to hand something to a Cunningham, for one thing, but if Walter and I had put ourselves in her shoes we'd have seen it was an honest mistake on her part. We could not expect her to learn all Maycomb's ways in one day, and we could not hold her respon¬sible when she knew no better.

Atticus, that's bad,' I said. In Maycomb County, hunting out of season was a misdemeanour at law, a capital felony in the eyes of the populace. She was furious, and when she was furious Calpurnia's gram¬mar became erratic. When in tranquillity, her grammar was as good as anybody's in Maycomb. Atticus said Calpurnia had more education than most coloured folks. Atticus said the Ewells had been the disgrace of Maycomb for three generations. None of them had done an honest day's work in his recollection. He said that some Christmas, when he was getting rid of the tree, he would take me with him and show me where and how they lived. They were people, but they lived like animals. 'They can go to school any time they want to, when they show the faintest symptom of wanting an education,' said Atticus. 'There are ways of keeping them in school by force, but it's silly to force people like the Ewells into a new environ¬ment —' El final es bueno. Marissa se ve enfrentada a una situación imposible y hay que reconocer que la resuelve. No estoy muy segura de que sea la mejor manera, pero desde luego impacta.

I'm afraid our activities would be received with considerable disapprobation by the more learned authorities.' Immediately compelling, All Her Fault explores every mother's worst nightmare and delivers deftly original twists." - Phoebe Morgan When I passed the Radley Place for the fourth time that day –twice at a full gallop – my gloom had deepened to match the house. If the remainder of the school year were as fraught with drama as the first day, perhaps it would be mildly entertaining, but the prospect of spending nine months refraining from read¬ing and writing made me think of running away. Andrea Mara has an uncanny ability to unnerve you and prey on your own everyday irrational fears and worries. For me, the anxiety and trepidation involved in choosing the right childcare and entrusting your child in the care of someone else is captured perfectly here. Her thrillers are distinctly Irish and yet universal in theme - I loved the politics at the school gates and the bourgeoise notions of the residents of Kerryglen. While it didn’t quite grip me in the way that The Sleeper Lies did, it’s still a great read. Burris seemed to be afraid of a child half his height, and Miss Caroline took advantage of his indecision: 'Burris, go home. If you don't I'll call the principal,' she said. `I'll have to report this, anyway.'

What a cleverly crafted story this is. Focusing on four different women, we are slowly drip fed snippets of information revealing the secrets at the heart of ordinary lives. The story is extremely well written and told from different characters perspectives. The characters are complex. I was hooked from the first chapter, hoping that Milo would be found safe and sound. Filled with red herrings, I found this book hard to put down. I highly recommend this book.
