A Mother Always Knows

Cults and childhood trauma lead to real suspense in this latest from Strohmeyer (We Love To Entertain). Stella O’Neill was 10 years old when her mother Rose was murdered in the woods near their cult compound. Years later, she only has vague memories of finding her mother dead and of the ominous figure who stashed her in a cave and then abandoned her. As an adult, Stella keeps her head down and her identity as the daughter of a murder victim under wraps. But when her past is revealed and her connection to the cult is making the rounds on social media again, Stella decides she’s going to figure out what happened once and for all, or die trying. Also seeking answers is Priti, wife of Ben Winslow, who has a connection to Rose’s life and death. Interspersed with their investigations are flashbacks of Rose’s last days leading up to her death. The three storylines converge in the woods as the women come face to face with the murderer.
