I found Mother Knows Best to be pretty interesting although it was a little bit predictable in the suspense part for me. Claire's mitochondrial DNA carried a disease that killed her little boy. With her husband wanting them to have a child again, Claire is scared that her mitochondrial DNA will once again pass on to another child and she cannot bear to lose another child. She seeks out a certain fertility doctor who has done research and he, his research assistant and Claire attempt an illegal experiment that will create a child with three genetic parents. So basically this child has the DNA of 2 mothers and a father. Those of us who regularly read thriller/suspense novels know that this will be trouble in the future.
The story is told from three different points of view - Claire, Jillian (the research assistant) and Abigail (she's the child) and is told in the present tense and the past. Abigail gets one of those home DNA kits and you know that spells trouble. Overall I really liked this book even though it was a little predictable for me. The book held my interest and was pretty quick to read. I think that I would give it 4 stars.
