Description
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…

Review
Sue Watson has done it again with such a twisty psychological thriller it will stay in your mind long after you have read it.
Two friends, neighbours, both pregnant at the same time, their children growing up together. Go to prom as a couple, to later that night, one dying which leaves the friendship in tatters.
The grieving mother knows people are hiding things from her and wants to get to the bottom of it, inviting her now ex-neighbour to a secluded cottage in Wales for a girly weekend away, on the pretence of reconnecting, but she wants answers.
I was glued to this book, it was full of twists and left me in complete shock at one point.
The storyline was great, it flowed well, with plenty of red herrings along the way.
I loved it!
