My darling son, Sam, is marrying his childhood sweetheart and I couldnāt be prouder of the man heās grown into. Walking out on his abusive father all those years ago was the best thing I ever did. And today he stands, tall and handsome, saying āI doā to my dream daughter-in-law. If I hadnāt pushed them together all those years ago, he might never have found a girl as perfect as Lauren. Itās true what they say, mother always knows best.Ā
But weeks later, Lauren is dead and police cars fill the driveway of their idyllic countryside home. As they question Sam, I sense heās hiding something. Why wonāt he look me in the eye? And who does he rush off to meet as soon as the police are gone?
Desperate, I do what every good mother would do: I let myself into Sam and Laurenās bedroom. What I see, I will never be able to forget. My sonās beautiful new wife was hiding a dangerous secret. Can I clear my sonās name? And could my life be in danger now too?Ā Ā
A completely gripping, utterly twisted thriller that will leave your jaw on the floor. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Wife Between Us and The Woman in the Window.
