Summary
She lies on the floor, her blue eyes wide and unseeing, arms outstretched as if begging for help. Kneeling next to her, wearing a sequined purple ballgown and holding a knife in shaking hands, is her daughter…
In a quiet kitchen, where two mugs wait by the kettle to be filled, Sheryl Hawne lies in a pool of blood. Her only daughter, Katie, is found at her side, still clutching the murder weapon and apparently incapable of speech. To Detective Kim Stone, the case seems open and shut. But Katie is in no state to be questioned, so Kim and the team must dig deep to understand what triggered this brutal act.
Soon, they learn that Katie participated in beauty pageants as a child, and her mother kept a shrine to her achievements. As Kim gazes at the golden trophies and shiny rosettes, she is forced to wonder if this was what set Katie on the path to murder…
But then Kim receives a shocking call. Another woman is dead. And with Katie safely locked up, she cannot be the killer. The second victim also entered her daughter in pageants, and a broken tiara is found thrust down her throat. Someone clearly feels that these mothers are guilty – and that they deserve to die. Forcing back the memories of her own monstrous mother, Kim vows to find justice for these women, no matter what pain they caused.
Now more than a day behind their killer, Kim races to learn more about a competitive world where appearances are everything and mothers will go to any lengths to ensure their daughters triumph. Buried somewhere in this dark past is the key to unlocking the case… but will Kim be able to find it before another family is destroyed forever?
The twentieth book in the international, multi-million-copy bestselling series, Guilty Mothers will have you glued to the pages. Fans of Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid and Robert Dugoni will devour this gripping crime thriller.
Can be listened to as a standalone.

scarily believable characters
yet another winner. the characters are so realistic and yet scary in the many directions the story could have gone. in my head I am Stone but know I have not got the confidence or ability to lead her team. success fron Angela again.

Great read
Unusual but very believable story line. If I have one tiny criticism Jan Cramer’s narration was a bit grating at times but she knows the characters inside out. Another winner from Angela.

Brilliant.
Another superb story in the Kim Stone series. I love everything about these books and eagerly await the nest one. Jan Cramer is perfect for the narration, I cannot imagine listening to Angela's books without Jan's voice now. Highly recommended.

Gripping, enjoyable and just great!
Love everything about Kim and her team, i love the cases, the personal touch getting to know the characters, the only negative is that I’ll have to wait for the next one. Jan narrates beautifully and they are all written so well by Angela. Thank you for another great read !

Gripping!
I absolutely love this series. My only complaint, as always, is that I become so engrossed that I can't stop listening and so finish it within a couple of days.
The characters are wonderful and each bring something different to the story, which is totally enriching. I've listened to the whole series twice so feel I know them all personally at this point. The narrator is outstanding and Angela is a formidable author. What a talent!
I really enjoyed the story and haven't ever really considered what it might have been like to.be part of the beauty pagent world, so found this really intriguing.
The plot was clever and kept me guessing right up to the end. The side story with Tiff was excellently written too and added a nice extra dimension to this book, without over complicating it or confusing things in any way.
Sometimes I find books frustrating as all the little details seem unnecessary and drag it out, but I never feel like this with these. I enjoy every word and phrase! It's been lovely to watch Kim soften over the years as she makes sense of her own complicated life and learns how yo connect and relate to others. Would highly recommend!

Gripping
This series just keeps getting better and better. Twists and turns and I can never work out the killer. Keep them coming.
