About this audiobook

Bloomsbury presents Like Mother, Like Daughter by Dawn Goodwin, read by Laura Rollins.

A totally gripping, page-turning thriller perfect for Lisa Jewell, Emily Edwards and Lesley Kara.

Christina Valdecchi has had to face the bitchy clique of school mums for years, ever since her fall out with Lisa, the mum of her daughter’s best friend. The picture perfect parent that never misses a chance to remind Christina she doesn’t measure up.

Lisa Marco was taught that being a good parent meant making the hard choices. She understands why Christina’s ‘friendship parenting’ approach makes her fun, but Lisa’s priority is keeping her daughter safe even if she fears it’s driving her daughter away.

But tonight when Christina and Lisa get the call that every parent dreads they will have to confront the choices that brought them here.

They say mothers know best but how well do they really know their daughters?
