Perfect for you if...

  • You love psychological thrillers with family secrets at the core, where every revelation changes what you thought about the people closest to the protagonist.
  • You're drawn to books with unreliable narrators and multiple perspectives that slowly unpeel layers of deception.
  • You enjoy thrillers where the mystery isn't just whodunit, but why someone would risk everything to keep the truth buried.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer straightforward mysteries where the culprit is revealed gradually through clues rather than through shocking reversals.
  • You're looking for a cosy or light-hearted read, as this book hinges on dark family secrets and morally complicated characters.
  • You want a fast-paced plot that wraps up neatly. This one rewards readers who can sit with ambiguity and conflicting loyalties.

About this book

Mackenzie Casper has lived in her mother's shadow—her mother is a best-selling author known for dark, twisted tales with a global readership. When her mother dies in what appears to be a tragic accident, fans grieve. But Mackenzie faces more than loss when investigators begin questioning whether the death was truly accidental, or if it was murder. A mysterious envelope arrives containing pages from her mother's diary, signed "Love, Mom." The contents shock Mackenzie. More letters follow. As she launches her own investigation, Mackenzie uncovers long-hidden family secrets. The question becomes: which secret was worth killing for?
