About the Book
She’s perfect. Too perfect…
Wife: For twenty-five years, my husband and I have been the ideal couple. I’m shy, but he’s always been the life and soul of the party, a charmer, so I didn’t worry the first time I caught him a little too close to my best friend, Wendy.
Mother: Then our darling son says he’s taking Wendy’s daughter to prom, the girl I never trusted because she’s too much like her mother. As I snap photos of them, I have a smile plastered on my face, but inside my head I’m screaming at him to stay away from her.
Liar: As flashing lights slice the darkness around our home, my worst nightmare comes true with the shocking news that one of our children is dead. And I can tell my husband, my best friend are both lying about where they were. But none of their secrets compares to mine.
And nobody knows just how far I’d go to protect my family…

Our Review
I managed to read this fast paced thriller in one day because I simply could not put it down.
Jill and Wendy are next door neighbours and have been best friends for years along with their husbands Tim and Robert.
When Jill’s son and Wendy’s daughter's friendship becomes a little closer they go to the prom together but tragedy strikes and only one of them returns. This sets off a catastrophic series of events when the mother of the dead child (I’m not saying which one because I don’t do spoilers,) is determined to find out exactly what happened as she doesn’t believe it was an accident.
The bereaved mum invites the other to stay in a cottage for a weekend so they can retrace their children’s footsteps at the place where things began to go wrong and to get their friendship back on a firm footing, or so she says. Things get quite creepy around the cottage as the old landlord appears and makes them feel uncomfortable. The setting sounded absolutely amazing especially with the view of the stars. It was such a shame because the weekend could have been an amazing bonding experience but distrust kicked in and put an end to any hopes of that especially as one of the mums had an ulterior motive and was prepared to kill to get what she wanted.
However things don’t quite go to plan for the grieving and vengeful mother and as she eventually learns the truth she also unearths more secrets and lies.
This page turning thriller will have your heart pounding as you race through the twists and turns of the story to get to the truth and you will not be disappointed.
Sincerely
