7. I'm now reading The Wrong Mother

by Sophie Hannah.

I read her first novel, Little Face and it was okay, although the central premise about the woman's child being replaced with another one was rather strained and far-fetched.

In this current one, a woman sees a news report of a woman who apparently killed her six-year-old daughter and then committed suicide. The husband, name of Mark Bretherick is someone the narrator had an affair with the previous year. Except that the Mark B who shows up on TV as the grieving husband is decidedly not the same man she had the affair with. Also, the dead wife looks an awful lot like the narrator. I'm quite interested to see how the author handles this.
