Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to psychological thrillers where the villain might be someone you love, and loyalty collides with morality.
You enjoy unreliable narrators and stories that slowly peel back what a family is really hiding beneath the surface.
You liked Gone Girl or Big Little Lies and want that same sense of suburban unease with a parent's impossible choice at the centre.

Maybe not for you if...

You need a straightforward whodunit with a satisfying investigative process—this is more about the mother's moral crisis than detective work.
You're sensitive to content involving missing teenagers or crimes against young people, even when not graphically described.
You prefer stories where the 'perfect' family facade is just window dressing—this one makes that tension the entire engine of the plot.

About this book

Erika Cass believes she has a perfect family and perfect life until two detectives arrive at her door one evening. A high school girl has disappeared from her quiet suburban neighborhood, and the police suspect murder. Erika's teenage son, Liam, was the last person to see the girl alive. Erika has long sensed something dark and disturbed in her older son. Though she wants to believe in his innocence, mounting evidence forces her to confront a difficult truth: Liam may be responsible. She must now decide how far she is willing to go to protect him.
