Book Review: "Mother's Don't Lie" By Jo Crow

First and foremost we have to acknowledge that bipolar disorder is not a laughing matter and must be dealt with professionally in a better light and understand it's a mental illness.

Many who suffer from such as instantly labeled or portrayed as 'crazy' or 'delusional' yet they're quite intelligent. So please don't treat mental illness patients any differently without knowing the totality of their own individual circumstances.

With this noted I can't let how the author portrayed mental illness to take away from his writing as the mother was portrayed with this cognitive impairment as well as with compulsive lying and the combined effects of both may cause irreversible harm.

The mother has been on prescribed meds but when her son Colin goes missing it ratchets up the excitement and drama to a whole new level.

The underlying tone of Molly's past, her past relationships, her constant inconsistencies, her inability to illustrate her needs effectively may be partly to blame for her current situation.
Readers can only hope she receives the treatment she needs, locates her son alive, and uncovers the truth to his disappearance with his grandfather's blood upon his return.

However, Jo Crow isn't stopping this out of control train because as far as we can tell her father in law has also gone missing.

WTH is going on and why is everything seemingly falling apart bit by tiny bit?
What's the relationship with her current spouse and extended family?

Why is Tracy so relevant and what is the importance to their connection with Colin? Who is Susan or for that matter Andy?

This story also careens off the road into an embankment upon learning of the situation with abuse from one of the individuals who is actively engaged in this ever changing plot of characters.

You know come to think of it you best be careful because this gal Carol is also on my radar for people to watch here.

Ok, that's all my breadcrumbs that I can toss out there but step carefully, watch your back, duck for cover, and know this one ends with an earth shattering revelation you won't want to miss!

Hang on tight the ride is about to begin....
