When I read a great book, my first reaction is to share it with all my friends.  That’s one downfall of ebooks.  The First Mistake by Sandie Jones is the kind of book that would have our little lunch bunch talking for days!

The book releases in June 2019, so while you’re waiting on your pre-order to arrive, read The Other Woman.   As before, I highly suggest that you ignore the back of the book.  It gives away too much information!

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.
