Valerie has been forgetting things. Her daughter worries about her being on her own in her big Victorian house—one rumored to be haunted after a tragedy decades earlier—and truth be told, she is a little lonely. With few options, she asks her adult son to move home, but it’s not quite the reunion she hoped for. Hudson is taciturn, moody and frequently gone.
The neighbors already hold a grudge against Hudson, and they aren’t happy about his return. When a young woman is found murdered a block away, suspicion falls on him immediately, without a shred of evidence. While Valerie fights to defend her son, she begins to wonder who she really invited into her home.
It’s a horrible thing for a mother to even think…but is it possible she’s enabled a monster? A monster she is living with, alone?

What I thought about A Mother Would Know
So, where do I start with this title? It's going to be very difficult to review this without giving any spoilers, but I'm going to give it my best!
The current day story is told through the eyes
of Valerie, a widow and former singer/songwriter. She thinks she might
be coming down with a degenerative disease that's causing her to forget.
After all, it runs in her family. You'll have to get through a number
of pages before anything starts making sense, but I must say that at
about 7 percent, I was wondering if I was going to finish this because
there is such a creepy vibe to this story, I didn't know if I would like
it. But the fact that this book was able to pull that emotion from me
in the earliest of pages told me to keep reading and I did.
I loved the pace of this book. I was to the ending before I realized it, and that's always a great feeling. The story of this family and their neighbors is well-crafted, leaving tidbits of clues along the way. There are some nice twists and red herrings too.
A Mother Would Know is an entertaining story about a creepy family. It shows just how messed up people can be and how events can shape and trigger behaviors in later life. I felt sorry for Valerie in the end. This book really did evoke some emotions in this reader and I really liked that about it.
