A Good Mother - Harlequin Summer 2021 Mystery/Thriller Blog Tour

A Good Mother by Lara Bazelon

Abby is a defense attorney and is also ready to go on maternity leave when she gets a new case that may save her career. A young mother is accused of killing her husband, and when Abby wants to cut her maternity leave short and return to court, her marriage is put on the line. What will she sacrifice to keep the young mother and child together?

 Luz is a young mother charged with killing her husband and she swears it was self defense. Her military husband was not a good man behind closed doors, and one must wonder if she was looking for a way out or was it truly self defense.

This novel by Lara Bazelon not only takes us through a thrilling courtroom drama, but also into the lives of two mothers and what they will sacrifice to protect a child. The premise of the story was good and the characters along with the supporting characters were well written. I did find the story lacking in certain aspects when it came to the courtroom drama, but I still enjoyed the book. Many thanks to Harlequin Publishing, Lara Bazelon and Netgalley for an advanced readers copy in exchange for my honest review.
