Having read The Other Woman, I knew that Sandie Jones would be planting some pretty major twists. I wasn’t disappointed! Surprisingly, many of the other reviewers have said they didn’t see the twists coming. I thought it was semi-predictable, more so than The Other Woman. The clues were easy to track throughout the story. It might be that I had considered several different possibilities, and one of them ended up being right. I wasn’t completely sure until the final pages.

In The First Mistake, the main character Alice is pretty easy to relate to. Other than the fact that her house is worth a couple million dollars, she’s just an average career-focused mom. She goes home and prepares supper for her surly teen and precocious elementary-school aged daughter. I liked her, mostly, and wanted things to work out for her.

Sandie Jones delivers a solid mystery in The First Mistake. I don’t think it’s really a thriller, but there’s suspense in finding the truth behind the lies.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. Opinions shared are mine.
