About this audiobook
From New York Times bestselling author Mia Sheridan comes the twisted story of one detective’s pursuit of a serial killer who’s taunting her…and the familiar connection between them that’s haunting her.
When Sienna Walker is nearly fired from the NYPD, the last thing she expects is a second chance in the one place she vowed never to return to. But she can’t afford to turn down the job offer, even if a painful familial past and a broken engagement hardly make Reno, Nevada, home sweet home.
It’s made even less sweet by Sienna’s first case—a serial killer with a curious fixation on her. Along with his victims, the killer leaves perplexing clues and chilling journal entries addressed to Sienna detailing the murders he claims his mother committed. The case continues to get personal when her ex-fiancé is called out by the killer as well. Whoever’s behind the diabolical murders, Sienna can only be sure of one thing…it’s someone close to home.
As the twisted truth forces Sienna to face her complicated feelings, she learns that no matter how far you run from your past, it always catches up to you in the end.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5After being fired from the force in New York, Sienna Walker returns to Reno, Nevada, taking a job as police detective. She is immediately thrown into a case where the killer is leaving notes with his victims that seem to be chronicling the life that has led to him becoming a serial killer. At the same time, Sienna is faced with Gavin, the man who left her at the alter and became a championship poker player. Even though she is engaged to a man that she met in New York, Sienna has never forgotten Gavin, and it seems as though he has not forgotten her either. Bad Mother balances romance and suspense as both are brought full circle by the end of the story. Although the narrative brings forth quite a bit of emotion, there is still a disconnect between the characters and the plot. The killer's perspective is highlighted in the notes he leaves behind at the crime scenes and the rest is told in third person POV from the perspective of the two main characters, but the supporting characters are left pretty much undeveloped. Although the clues are spread out throughout the book, the pacing feels slow at times, leaving the ending a bit unsatisfying. Overall, however, Bad Mother, weaves an enjoyable tale about lost love and murder.
