Can not having a child can change your life as much as having one?
Grace has returned to London after twenty years abroad to manage her dying mother's affairs. When she receives a blank Mother's Day card in the post, she is confused and unsettled. Who could have sent it to her and why? She isn't a mother.
Another Mother's Day card arrives. Then come the silent phone calls. Haunted by disturbing flashbacks, Grace starts to unravel. Someone is out to get her. Someone who knows what she has done. Someone who will make her face the past she has run from for so long.
A clever and twisty psychological thriller from the bestselling author of The Perfect Holiday that will leave fans of The Push and Girl A gripped.
What readers are saying about T J Emerson's books:
'I loved the two female protagonists, particularly the brilliantly chilling anti-heroine' Sarah J. Naughton, author of The Mothers
'Moving, compelling and beautifully written. It deserves to fly off the shelves' - Mel McGrath, author of Tell Me Your Secrets 'I read this in two days. Fast-paced, dark and unsettling, this is an intelligently written, edge-of-your-seat thriller. A compelling pageturner with a satisfying ending and a late twist that I didn't see coming' - Susan Elliot Wright, author of All You Ever Wanted.
'Mother's Day is a cleverly constructed, elegant page turner that will hook you from the very first line. An enormously enjoyable read' - Louise Dean, award-winning author of Becoming Strangers
'If you enjoy tension, suspense and surprise, Mother's Day by T.J Emerson is your next favourite read. Emerson ratchets up the suspense from the first page and never lets it go. Dignified by deft and ingenious plotting, forensically insightful characterisation and impeccable prose, this psychological thriller delivers on all levels' - Lesley Glaister, award-winning author of Blasted Things
'An accomplished thriller that despite being tightly plotted manages to retain a really refreshing rawness... The fast paced story kept me guessing until the end and raised many thought provoking questions about family, motherhood, rejection and mental health. I do love a story that intrigues as much as it provokes, and to this end T.J. Emerson has scored on both counts. Very well done' - Cath Weeks, author of Mothers
'Wow! Beautifully written with a great sense of place that contrasts so well with what is going on behind doors' Valerie Keogh
'Tense, daring and totally addictive' Emma Christie
'An immersive, multi-layered story that provokes and excites' T.L. Huchu
'An unputdownable journey into the human condition asking the reader at every turn - how good are we really? How good are you?' Louise Dean
'The last time I had this sort of reaction to a character was when I read The Talented Mr Ripley' Mark Wightman
'A gripping, atmospheric and addictive read' Lesley Glaister
'Original, surprising and absolutely brimming with menace' Amanda Block

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
Good service, good book. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
