Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

I was drawn into 'What Kind of Mother' from the start, despite some initial reservations about the protagonist's somewhat one-dimensional characterization. As the story progressed, I became increasingly invested in the mystery, and the twist near the end was genuinely unsettling. Megan Tusing's narration is a highlight, conveying the protagonist's growing unease and desperation with conviction. Joe Hempel's dry delivery provides a nice counterpoint, but I felt that his character's motivations could have been more clearly established. The pacing is well-handled, with a good balance between creepy atmosphere and plot progression. My one major criticism is that some of the supporting characters feel underdeveloped, but overall, this is a compelling and unsettling listen.
