Overview
From the New York Times best-selling author of Reconstructing Amelia: A daughter races to uncover her mother’s secret life in the wake of her disappearance in this “breathless, shocking thriller.” —Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times best-selling author
“I think you’ll be into it. I love a summer mystery.” —Jenna Bush Hager, the TODAY Show
“Deeply satisfying”—Angie Kim • “Gripping and bingeable.”—Ana Reyes • “As suspenseful as it is thought-provoking.”—Greer Hendricks
When Cleo, a student at NYU, arrives late for dinner at her childhood home in Brooklyn, she finds food burning in the oven and no sign of her mother, Kat. Then Cleo discovers her mom’s bloody shoe under the sofa. Something terrible has happened.
But what? The polar opposite of Cleo, whose “out of control” emotions and “unsafe” behavior have created a seemingly unbridgeable rift between mother and daughter, Kat is the essence of Park Slope perfection: a happily married, successful corporate lawyer. Or so Cleo thinks.
Kat has been lying. She’s not just a lawyer; she’s her firm’s fixer. She’s damn good at it, too. Growing up in a dangerous group home taught her how to think fast, stay calm under pressure, and recognize a real threat when she sees one. And in the days leading up her disappearance, Kat has become aware of multiple threats: demands for money from her unfaithful soon-to-be ex-husband; evidence that Cleo has slipped back into a relationship that’s far riskier than she understands; and menacing anonymous messages from her past—all of which she’s kept hidden from Cleo . . .
Like Mother, Like Daughter is a thrilling novel of emotional suspense that questions the damaging fictions we cling to and the hard truths we avoid. Above all, it’s a love story between a mother and a daughter, each determined to save the other before it’s too late.
Review
Kat is a fixer at her law firm. She fixes everyone’s problems when they make terrible decisions. And she is a bit controlling with her college aged daughter. Their relationship is barely existent. Plus she and her husband are getting divorced. She has finally reached her daughter, Cleo, to come to the house so they can have a conversation. When Cleo arrives her mom is not there. There are signs of a struggle. These leads Cleo to investigate and she discovers a lot about her mom that she didn’t know.
Kat and Chloe are so different and so, of course, they have issues in their relationship. But, I really was not a fan of either of them. And lord, don’t get me started about Kat’s husband. He was just bad!
There are a lot of moving parts in this tale and a lot of characters. But this leads to a lot of suspects. I enjoyed all the mystery surrounding Kat’s disappearance. The way this author kept all the suspects straight with their own story and their own reasons to hurt Kat is terrific.
There is not a lot of intensity in this tale but there is a lot of guessing!
