    About this audiobook

    From the bestselling author of The Perfect Child comes a shocking thriller about the disturbing complexities of a mother’s love and the deadly consequences of unravelling family secrets.

    On a humid summer day in Alabama, a mayor’s wife turns up brutally murdered under a railroad bridge. Standing next to her body is fourteen-year-old Mason Hill, the autistic son of former Miss USA Genevieve Hill. The locals are quick to level their verdict on young Mason: he did it.

    The town detective calls in local autism expert Casey Walker to consult on the case. At first, Casey tries to keep an open mind. But the more time she spends with Genevieve, the more her unease grows, and she suspects that Genevieve is doing more than just protecting her son.

    Casey’s misgivings surrounding Genevieve’s story only intensify when she meets Savannah, Genevieve’s nineteen-year-old daughter. Savannah, as it turns out, has some disturbing secrets of her own. But as Casey dives ever deeper into the Hill family dynamic, her search for the truth leads to another shocking murder—one that shatters her understanding of the human condition in ways she never imagined.

    • 3/5
      The whole story is about Mason. Would love to have heard about him fully coming around and who actually committed the murder. It was great until the end.
    • 5/5
      I was really bored for the first few hours but decided to stick with it. Glad I did. The second half was so twisted I couldn’t stop listening.
    • 5/5
      Great listen, with lots of twists and turns. I will read more by the author.

    • 3/5
      It was a great book, even the twist at the end.. but the storyline of Genevieve, mason and Mary Ellen was left unfinished. There was so much more I wanted to know, I finished the book feeling disappointed
    • 5/5
      I think it was really good to keep me on my toes. I don’t think it would and the way I did it was good.
    • 5/5
      Wow!! Never saw that ending coming. Started off a bit slow and didn't really tied up the end story, but overall kept me intrigued to see what was coming next.
    • 5/5
      Great story-well written and engrossing! Narrators did a great job at portraying their characters. I highly recommend a listen ?
    • 3/5
      The twist at the end was good, but the story didn’t wrap up to make sense. The boyfriend had been shot with the mother’s gun. Would eventually lead back to the daughter.

      This was an absolutely wild ride! I wasn't sure at the beginning, but once it sucked me in I was lost. As Deeper in you get as more intense it's become. By nearly the end tension was so massive that I needed to put it down. My blood pressure was sky high!
      Absolutely adorable book! More than 5 stars that's for sure!
    • 3/5
      Very poor and rushed ending, as if the book just needed to suddenly end.

      Ending was unsatisfying! It was going good but then the ending felt too open. Felt like a cliffhanger. Some things were not resolved.

      Enjoyable, but predictable. Was surprised that after having guessed the outcome 30 min in that there was a twist at the end I didn’t see coming!
    • 4/5
      I would've loved if the ending had gave a summary of what happened to the criminal & the police officer's reaction when he realized he should've listened all along. Other than that satisfaction... It was a good read!
    • 5/5
      Lucinda never disappoints. I am never able to turn my brain off so when I listen to her books my brain focuses on the story and not on my stress.
