About this listen

A heartbroken mother

When seventeen-year-old Isla Richardson is killed in a hit-and-run incident, a community’s lives are thrown into disarray. For Isla’s mum, Abby, it is her second devastating bereavement, having lost her husband five years ago. As Abby begins to uncover secrets about Isla’s life, she’s forced to rethink everything she thought she knew about her family.

A supportive best friend

For Abby’s best friend, Nicole, the tragic death sets in motion a chain of events that will have irreparable consequences for her husband and her two teenage sons.

A determined mum

For Jenna, Isla’s death threatens to expose secrets about her son’s past that she has done everything in her power to hide, to secure him a better future.

A tragedy unites them—but it could also tear their families apart

Tackling friendship, family, social prejudice and the pressures facing young women, Three Mothers asks: How well do we really know our children? And how far would any of us go to protect the people we love?

Ideal for fans of Louise Candlish, Lisa Jewell and Liane Moriarty, Three Mothers is a tense, page-turning domestic suspense story with a final twist that will make you gasp.

What the critics say

“No one is better at heartbreaking suspense than Hannah Beckerman. Three Mothers is a twisted murder investigation, with deeply drawn characters that move you, grip you and ultimately shock you. The new queen of domestic noir.”—Alex Michaelides

“Proper edge-of-the-seat writing. There were times reading this that I thought my heart rate would go through the roof! The twists and turns in this story are truly gripping—totally unpredictable, I kept gasping in disbelief at the end of each chapter. I love Hannah’s writing and once again she has knocked it out of the park. A great moral dilemma tale with big heart and unconditional love at its centre: superb characterization and observation of how we humans tick and how far we’d go to protect those we love. This is Hannah’s best novel yet.”—Ruth Jones

“Taut as a wire, Three Mothers is an emotionally raw page-turner of a book about family secrets, growing up, sibling rivalry and the lengths a mother will go to protect her children. The characterisation is sublime, the writing is wonderful, and I was gripped from the very first page.”—Rachel Joyce
