Not a Good Mother

‘A knockout debut thriller that’ll make your heart sit in your throat. Tense, twisted, and deeply emotional, this book will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end, and will continue linger with you a long time thereafter’ Hannah Mary McKinnon, internationally bestselling author of A Killer Motive

‘Karabi George depicts the universally understood terror of a mother’s child being taken from her in a way that is incredibly unsettling and will not let you stop turning the pages. On an even deeper level, she gives us insight into what it’s like to experience marriage, motherhood, and loss as a new immigrant, the feeling of loneliness, bias and hopelessness. This book is an edge-of-your-seat thriller while at the same time highlighting how quick society is to judge mothers on their merit, how isolating new motherhood can be and the need to do better by all women in every stage of their mothering journey’ Jessica Hamilton, author of The Woods

‘A pulse-pounding thriller that explores the isolation and expectations of motherhood through the unique lens of a new Canadian. Twists, cliffhangers, and shocking betrayals make Not a Good Mother a welcome and original addition to the genre’ Robyn Harding, international bestselling author of Strangers in the Villa

‘Karabi George explores what happens when one fateful decision sets into motion every mother’s worst fear. The twists and ticking-clock tension make it a read-in-a-day thriller, but it’s George’s sharp insights and unique perspective as a new Canadian that elevate this debut’ Karma Brown, #1 international bestselling author of Mother is Watching

‘Not a Good Mother deftly handles the emotional intensity, isolation, and raw vulnerability of being a new mother, while keeping you on the edge of your seat in a race to find a kidnapped baby. Complete with twists and turns and pulse-pounding moments, but also with a heart-wrenching core of how overwhelming and lonely early motherhood can be, this was an intricate and truly stunning debut’ Ashley Tate, bestselling author of Twenty-Seven Minutes
