Publisher's summary

Betrayed from within. Attacked from all sides. Can she avoid heartbreak and stop all who are intent on her destruction?

Violet Cleveland’s mind is running on high alert. Used to tough challenges, the ex-covert-ops leader worries about keeping her unstable hippie mom in line while opening a security business. And just as she lands a make-or-break protection detail, her parent’s evasive comments about an upcoming trip trigger a loud alarm bell.

Discovering that her inaugural job is tangled up in emotionally charged protests, Violet reaches out to the authorities for aid, only to be curtly dismissed as a fearmonger. And she’s horrified when an anonymous tip to the source of the threats leads her to witness her own mom doxxing her to a potential lynch mob.

Determined to hold her ground, will she burn her last bridge home?

The Mother’s Threat is a standalone thriller. If you like driven heroines, complex relationships, and intense psychological drama, then you’ll love Susan Specht Oram’s high-stakes standoff.

Love this narrator! Fun, light-weight drama.

I enjoyed this simple domestic thriller about a young woman and her team of start-up characters as she begins a new security company in a fictional small town. The writing has it's weakness and repetitions (lots of trembling, lip biting and arching of eyebrows) and Ms. Oram could use a good editor to tighten things up. The narrator made the book. Because of her ability to do multiple realistic characters, both men and women, and to infuse the story with commitment and true thriller-excitement, it's worth a listen. I don't think it's a book that would hold my attention in print, but in audio format it's worth a listen, if you're into an urban "cozy" frame of mind.
