Grace Morton: Book 2
Publication Date: December 9, 2024
I stare at the photo of my beautiful daughter. Her hair is shining and her face is lit up with a smile. The man with her looks so happy too. But my mother’s instinct is screaming. I know something is terribly, terribly wrong. And I know what I have to do…
I wish I could hold her tight. See if she still wears the same perfume she always wore. But my daughter blames me for her father’s death. She won’t even talk to me… I just know she isn’t really safe with her boyfriend, Garth. I will keep my distance and I will just watch her. For now.
But I tremble with fear when the police knock at her door. Garth has gone missing. And my daughter is accused of his murder.
There’s no evidence that I ever hurt anyone… is there? Do the police know about my past – and what I’ve really been doing?
Only one thing is certain. My beautiful girl is in terrible danger.
But from the man she loves?
From herself?
Or from me?
An absolutely explosive psychological thriller that will have you racing through the pages deep into the night! Fans of Shari Lapena, Freida McFadden and The Perfect Marriage won’t be able to put this down.
Grace may be estranged from her adult daughter as a result of a terrible tragedy, but nothing will stop her from ensuring Cordelia’s happiness.
Unfolding in alternating chapters, author Nicole Trope serves up a psychological thriller in A Mother Always Knows. Set in Australia, the story is packed with suspenseful twists.
Cordelia may want nothing to do with her mother, but her choices are limited when her boyfriend vanishes, and she becomes the prime suspect.
How far will a mother go to protect her daughter? As the second in a series, it can be read as a standalone, but having the full story will put Grace’s character in perspective.
A Mother Always Knows serves up an engaging storyline that will keep readers guessing until the end.
Nicole Trope went to university to study Law but realised the error of her ways when she did very badly on her first law essay because-as her professor pointed out- ‘It’s not meant to be a story.’ She studied teaching instead and used her holidays to work on her writing career and complete a Masters’ degree in Children’s Literature.
The idea for her first published novel, The Boy under the Table, was so scary that it took a year for her to find the courage to write the emotional story. She went on to publish a further five novels in Australia before joining Bookouture in 2019. She is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller in the USA, UK, AUS and CAN.
She lives in Sydney with her husband and three children.
