"Previous book, Little Disasters, features a mother whose intrusive thoughts...make her fear she is going insane. In Ashley Audrain’s, The Push, a mother also questions her sanity similar themes are explored in Nikki Smith’s debut thriller All In Her Head." The Mother in my NNF had such thoughts; her paranoia led to poisoning two teen daughters with arsenic. Shakespeare's female villains were cited at her trial, the bard being revered in 19th century psychiatric circles. This looks good!
