This book starts out strong and doesn’t let up, making it a quick read due to the fast pace. Mother Knows Best is a twisty, dark, suspenseful tale that may leave the reader questioning how far they would consider pushing ethical and medical boundaries.
Claire and Ethan lost a son to a rare genetic condition. Ethan wants another child. Claire fears passing along the genetic condition, so she seeks out a doctor who’s working on a cutting-edge procedure that could ensure the baby’s health. Claire will discover that all actions have consequences, including some she never predicted.
The story is told in multiple POV’s, so the reader gets a well-rounded view of everything as it unfolds, past and present. The premise is unique, as it addresses questions about genetically modifying a child before conception and the morality and consequences of doing so.
Peikoff’s writing pulled me in, and I’m definitely interested in reading more of her books! If you enjoy psychological thrillers, this is definitely one to add to your list.
