My Thoughts
If you follow my blog you will know that I have to read the book before watching the TV/Film adaptation and this book had been sitting on my kindle since it was first published in 2021 and as it’s now on TV, I moved it to the top of my TBR pile.
All Her Fault is a fast-paced psychological thriller that is based on every parent’s worst nightmare – a missing/abducted child. It’s tense and frightening and even if you aren’t a parent, the overwhelming sense of dread leaps off the pages.
The story centres around Marissa Irvine, a wife and mother who lives in a seemingly safe and comfortable home within a close-knit community. Married to Peter, a very successful, wealthy businessman and the father to their young son Milo.
When Marissa goes to collect Milo from an afterschool playdate, he’s not there and it’s immediately clear that this house and the address she’d been given are fake. Milo is missing and the Irvine family are thrust into a desperate and terrifying situation. Has he been kidnapped? Is he harmed? Who would do this and Why?
I was absolutely gripped by the storyline, the different characters involved, the personalities and relationships between the families and friends. I literally had no idea why Milo was taken, even though we know WHO takes him quite early on. It was impossible to work out who to believe, who to sympathise with and who the villains were.
Overall, I really enjoyed the story and also thought the TV series was excellent too.
Highly recommend both.
