'Brilliantly unnerving … expertly crafted' Sunday Times, Thriller of the Month

'Jackson raises the stakes again and again' Guardian

'Finely paced, shrewdly observed … Mother May I is a thinking (and feeling) reader's thriller' Wall Street Journal

It's every mother's worst nightmare.

'If you ever want to see your baby again, GO HOME.
Tell no one.
Do not call the police.
Do not call your husband.
Be at your house by 5:15 PM.
Or he's gone for good...'

To get her son back alive, Bree must complete one small but critical task. It seems harmless enough, but this one action comes with a devastating price. And now Bree finds herself complicit in a terrible crime, caught up in a tangled web of secrets that threatens to destroy the perfect life she has built.
Mother May I is a pulse-racing, heart-pounding thriller that will have you turning the pages in the race to save Bree's baby, and find the kidnapper.
Praise for Joshilyn Jackson

'A master of domestic suspense' Entertainment Weekly

Quotes

  • Refiloe Masitahas quoted3 years ago
    world was dangerous and broken.
    But people had to feel safe anyway, to get on with the business of living.
  • Refiloe Masitahas quoted3 years ago
    one who’d held me up at Betsy’s funeral. Those were the only other times I’d been reduced down to an animal, as I was now, and three of those occasions had ended in such joy. He’d always given me exactly what I needed in my hardest moments, and his instant grace now felt like a promise. He would give me what I needed now.

    Awful things happened to shitty people all the time.
