Five Fatal Flaws

By Louise Mangos

“Louise Mangos has done a brilliant job of creating a complex mystery and I really had no idea what was really going on. Louise creates some very real, mysterious characters, and we begin to see their personalities come to life during the therapist scenes. They all have their own unique voice and I liked how Louise flicked between them in different chapters. I thought that the added intrigue of what happened to the local councillor, who dies in a house fire, was also done really well, and ups the tension as we get to know the characters. Louise Mangos weaves this expertly into the plot and it kept me on the edge of my seat.”
– Jacob Collins

“Five Fatal Flaws is beautifully written and fully deserves five stars.”

A missing baby. A dead politician. Five suspects

When psychotherapist Trudy’s baby disappears one afternoon, the individual motives of four members of her post-trauma therapy group are gradually revealed. But when the police begin investigating baby Benny’s disappearance, the seemingly unrelated death of a town councillor brings each member of the group under firm suspicion, along with Trudy herself.

 

Five Fatal Flaws is a whodunnit psychological suspense with a #MeToo thread, for fans of Liane Moriarty and Lucy Foley.

Well this is quite an addictive and thrilling read. From the very beginning of the book Louise Mangos had me drawn into the story, not just because of the tension and shock factor relating to the disappearance of little Benny, but because she has done such a great job of creating a pool of suspicion around around so many of her characters, not least of which is Benny’s mother, Trudy.

I’ve come up for breath – Five Fatal Flaws is a ride, it’s not the “blink and it’s over” Nemesis kind of a ride, it’s a breathtaking, heart wrenching stop and think kind of a ride. One that makes me look one way and then drags my attention an entirely different way before sending me a third direction.
