Review: In Sandie Jones' novel, a mom is lurking monster
"The Other Woman" (Minotaur), by Sandie Jones
The other woman in the title of Sandie Jones' thriller isn't an ex-girlfriend, a new affair or an obsessive stalker — though heroine Emily Havistock might welcome any of those rivals for the affections of Adam Banks. Instead, the conniving woman who wants to keep Adam all to herself is the one person Emily has no chance against — his mother, Pammie.
A seemingly meek, physically weak and thoughtful mother, Pammie is a monster in disguise, who will do anything to keep her oldest son all to herself in this excellent debut.
British author Jones delivers a tightly coiled story in "The Other Woman" and fills it with believable characters.
