Like Mother, Like Daughter was a solid thriller. It was full of twists and turns. While I was able to guess one of the major plot twists, there were others that took me by surprise. Thank you @netgalley and @aaknopf for this advanced copy! Read if you like: missing persons stories, you’re more likely to your mom than you even realize, main characters that take charge to solve the problem. #likemotherlikedaughter #kimberlymcreight #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #books #bookish #netgalley #netgalleyreads #thriller #suspense

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Cleo arrives home to find her mom missing. He and her mom have their differences, this book was intriguing

Cleo is back home for dinner with her mom cat, but finds the house slightly messy which is unusual and there is some blood as well but no sign of her mom. This starts off an investigation for her missing mom who everyone thought was simply a lawyer, but she’s also good at her actual profession that she kept a complete secret. This investigation brings light to the problems between her parents and the truth of their relationship, along with some secrets that her father kept nicely guarded. But Cleo has clearly got her curiosity and investigative genes from her mother and now she’s on the path to uncover the whole story and find her mom in spite of their messy relationship.

It is definitely the kind of plot that would keep the readers engaged all the way till the end and also maintains fantastic pace. There are a few characters in the book that keep popping up suddenly, which kind of threw me into a loop as I expected more development of these characters. I enjoyed the twists and turns and though the ending twist was slightly expected, it left me slightly unsatisfied. Overall, I definitely enjoyed the suspense and I recommend it to all the thriller lovers.

I liked the suspense in figuring out how the different storylines connected. It was a bit hard to follow the combination of texts and court documents but did add an element of mystery. I liked the element of mother and daughter connection so it went a bit beyond just a mystery and into the relationships between family members.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is my fourth book by McCreight and my favorite so far. This story is told in alternating points of view and flashabacks/timelines between mother, Kat, and daughter Cleo. The two have a tumultuous relationship at best. As the story unravels, we learn more about Kat's past and how that has impacted her mothering and thus her relationship with her daughter. Kat disappears and there are so many reasons why she could have disappeared. Her high profile law job, where she is really a corporate "fixer" becomes dangerous when her boyfriend is murdered for his role in trying to help reveal the wrongdoings his employer, Darden pharmaceuticals, tries to cover up. But, her past, which was harder than anyone in her life understands, is also starting to catch up with her. On top of that, her husband, who she is separated from, wants her money to help bail him out of a jam.

Cleo, despite her relationship with her mom, is adamant that she help find her mom. She discovers multiple threads from all the danger her mom is involved in, putting herself in danger too. The closer she gets to finding her mom, the closer she gets to being a victim.

I really enjoyed this story and found it hard to put it down. Very suspenseful, very well-crafted characters, and an intense plot! Definitely a must-read.

I really liked this book! I liked the dynamic between the mother and the daughter and how it revisited the mothers past. The husband part of it through me for a loop a little bit in the aspect I didnt really understand what he was doing but overall a good read! 4 stars :)

Thank you for the advanced reader Netgalley!

Another great book by Kimberly McCreight! This book highlights the complex relationship between a mother and daughter with a gripping story line.

Kat, the mother, is missing when Cleo, the daughter, comes to dinner as requested. Not only is she missing but cleo finds a bloody shoe and a broken glass and knows something terrible has happened. Cleo then goes a bit rouge to find out what happened to her mom. As the story develops, Cleo learns a lot about her mom and sees that not everything is as she thought. Her mom has a much more troubled past and her current job isn't as simple as it appeared.

This is a great book with a lot of gripping details about how the past can shape who a person in today and NEVER judge a book by its cover. It also dives into the dynamic relationship between a. mother and daughter and how to learn to see beyond what is in front of you.

I will be looking out for more books by this author as she grips you from the start and keeps you wanting to read until the very end.

Thank you NetGally and Knopf publishing for the ARC copy in return for an honest review.

Like Mother Like Daughter by Kimberly Mccreight.

Cleo and her mother Katrina have a strained relationship. When Katrina goes missing, Cleo will stop at nothing to find where her mother is. Unbeknownst to Cleo, her mother has also gone above and beyond to protect her from her drug dealing boyfriend.

Cleo begins to uncover her mother’s past and soon everyone is a suspect Katrina’s disappearance.

Wow! This was an incredible read. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, you’re hit with another plot twist. I enjoyed this book greatly

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was phenomenal!! A complex domestic thriller that has multiple storylines and different POVs, with the author masterfully tying it all together. On one end, we are exploring the fragile relationship between mother and daughter, and on the other end diving deep into a missing person’s case. The writing style was fantastic, tempo was just enough to keep you interested and the ending was *chef’s kiss.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC, all opinions are my own

I felt like this book started off really strong but lost me quicker than it should have. There are way too many plot lines happening. You are getting dual POVs and timelines, diary entries, transcripts from appointments, court documents and text messages. It just became too convoluted for me. It does have some good strong parts, the mother/daughter relationship and where that starts and ends. I felt satisfied with that but there were some other things I just didn’t think seemed to fit. I can’t get too specific without giving anything away. The biggest fireworks come at the end and that was pretty disappointing. There were other explosive moments prior to that but nothing that blew my socks off. If you like a big character build and lots of different dialogues, this book is right up your alley.

I expected to be swept up in this novel like so many reviewers, but that just didn't happen. The relationships between Katrina, the disappeared one, her daughter and the husband Kat's divorcing. Then there's the guy she met online dating who Kat is interested in. Everyone's lives are messy and their relationships filled with rancor.

The crux of the story turns out to be concern over a pharmaceutical company's attempt to hide birth defects caused by one of their drugs. Daughter Cleo peels back the layers to see of this has anything to do with her mother and how this knowledge can help her find Katrina.

I didn't click with the characters and found the ending contrived and unsatisfying. Kimberly McCreight has written a number of books with lots of fans so I might try another. I'm still grateful to the publisher and NetGalley for putting this author on my radar!

Well that was a riiiiide. I knocked this book out in less than 24 hours, even doing some sneaky reading at my work desk. Don’t tell anyone.

This is the first book I’ve read from Kimberly McCreight, but definitely not the last. This is what thrillers are supposed to be, red herrings and changing your mind 5 times about what’s really going on. To keep guessing while the story twists and turns, while you’re offered little tidbits of info to inform you.

Who kidnapped Kat? And is the same person out to get her daughter, or will Cleo be the one to solve the mystery of her disappearance in the end? Her father is certainly no help (and man, I really was rooting for him to be at fault so he’d be off to jail in the end!) There are a ton of characters in this book, so the it almost could be anyone. They all have a motive or a secret to hide. I certainly didn’t expect that ending!

Thanks to Kimberly McCreight, Knopf and NetGalley for providing the advance copy!

The title, cover, and description drew me in! The characters were relatable, and realistic which was a nice change. There is a lot of different things to keep track of in this book. The plot could have been less complex as with the list of characters. The structure of the book was lovely but I think with the complexities it's definitely a read twice book.

Thanks to NetGalley and Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor for sending me an ARC of Like Mother, Like Daughter in exchange for an honest review.

Read this book in 2 days. Really good story but it is hard to follow at first. There's lots of character development happening all at once. But once you can get them all straightened out, it becomes easier to follow the story. The story however is really good. Lots of twists and turns and kept me wanting to know what was coming next.

Like Mother, Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight is a fast paced novel that moves quickly from the moment Cleo finds her mother missing when she arrives for dinner until it skids into the ending! There are many twists and turns and so many characters to keep track of it gets confusing. However, if you like thrillers, this is a great one. Thank you to the author,publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

This was a great thriller with frustrating family relationships that build great tension, and twists and turns that you don't see coming! I was sometimes confused by the characters and the changing point of view, but all in all it was a great read.

This book was SO GOOD. kept me absolutely hooked all the way through. The plot points were very well connected. Sometimes with thrillers I have a hard time keeping track of people or making connections but that didn’t happen with this book. I was still shocked at the end though!

I enjoyed this book, but it was a little hard to follow. A lot going on. The author writes well and I will try get again. Thank you netgalley!

Thank you, NetGalley and Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor hooks for this advanced reader’s copy. This was fun ride! I have read many of Kimberly McCreight’s previous thrillers and was excited to read this new one. Mother-daughter relationships are always interesting and can be fraught with challenges and conflict and this story is no exception. Lots of twists and turns expected of a good thriller. I won’t give away any secrets, but definitely worth the read. McCreight is an automatic purchase for me because I know she will deliver a solid and fun thriller that I won’t be able to figure out the full gist.
