Rezension(1): "Sunday Times:Jackson follows her brilliantly unnerving Never Have I Ever with another battle of wits between a manipulative criminal and her victim ... Bree and Marshall's twin narratives sustain the unrelenting tension all the way to a double denouement,yet this is much more than an expertly crafted entertainment, as its themes include class, sexual consent and misogyny" Rezension(2): "Wall Street Journal:Jackson crafts a finely paced, shrewdly observed, multi-tiered story which moves with ease between past and present. Older events that prompt current actions are uncovered,pressing issues of class, race and sexual abuse are viscerally dramatized. Mother May I is a thinking (and feeling) reader's thriller, a literary beach read" Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: January 25, 2021 Bree Cabbat, the narrator of this gripping domestic thriller from bestseller Jackson ( Never Have I Ever ), is luxuriating in a life beyond anything she imagined growing up poor in the Georgia sticks—until her infant son is snatched at a musical performance she brings him to at the exclusive Atlanta private school her two teenage daughters attend. After demanding that Bree not contact either law enforcement or husband Trey, a wealthy and socially prominent attorney who’s out of town on business, the kidnapper makes it clear she’s seeking not money but to settle some sort of personal score. When following the woman’s initial instructions goes horrifically wrong, a desperate Bree reaches out for help to a lifelong friend, a former Atlanta detective turned investigator at Trey’s firm. As the intrepid, sympathetic pair scramble to suss out the kidnapper’s identity, they make some extremely disturbing discoveries that could blow up the life Bree loves. A few of the final twists come off as far-fetched, but the dark secret at the novel’s heart rings all too true. Jackson knows how to ratchet up the suspense. Agent: Caryn Karmatz Rudy, DeFiore and Co. "
