Mother Knows Best by J.A. Baker
Helena prides herself on being the glue that holds her family together. Her eldest daughter, Vanessa, seems to have it all - career, marriage, and kids, while Rachel, the youngest, has drifted into a life of chaos and addiction. Helena’s sense of control begins to unravel when a series of brutal murders of young women rocks their quiet community. Fear turns into fixation as Helena becomes determined to shield her daughters from harm. But as secrets surface and loyalties fracture, Helena starts to question whether the real threat is outside, or lurking within her own family circle. The story tightens like a vice, leading to a revelation that will upend everything Helena thought she knew.
Mother Knows Best is a tense, character-driven thriller that explores the fragile boundaries between love, control, and obsession. J.A. Baker crafts a slow-burning narrative that gradually morphs into a psychological storm, pulling readers into the claustrophobic world of a mother who will do anything to protect her children.
