Description
The story of one woman’s longing for motherhood – and the terrible consequences of maternal indifference.
When retired forensic psychiatrist Corine Alexander is asked to help a former child patient prepare for parole, she welcomes the distraction from her own grief.
Determined to understand why a seemingly well-balanced teenager would attack her mother with a knife, Corine finds herself up against a wall of silence: a patient unwilling to talk and a family held together only by the secrets they refuse to share.
But to uncover the truth about her troubled patient’s past, Corine must also confront the tragedy in her own life...

I really enjoyed getting to read this, it had that concept that I was looking for and thought the idea of psychological suspense in this read worked overall in what was happening. I enjoyed the overall feel of this and how everything was used. The characters were realistic and I was invested in what was going on with the characters. Colette Lewis has a strong writing style and glad I read this.

Wow! Let me first just say. “Without Good Reason” by Colette Lewis was an incredible read. As someone who has suffered with mental health issues all my life, this novel really hit close to home. I did feel there were a few too many storylines intertwined in the book and felt like I was getting sidetrack, and would have to go back to remember what happened and who it happened to, etc. But overall, I absolutely loved the book. It’s heartbreaking to see how much pain a person holds within themselves, to the point where they’re unable to let it out. I’m so glad the book ended the way it did.
Thank you NetGalley and Cranthorpe Millner Publishers for the eARC of “Without Good Reason” by Colette Lewis.
