Critics Review
-
I loved this absorbing suburban drama that is every parent’s worst nightmare.
Heidi Perks, author of Now You See Her
-
Every parents’ worst nightmare is brought to life in this thought-provoking twisty family drama centred around friendship and trust, secrets and lies. A wise and sensitive exploration of issues we hope we’ll never have to deal with.
Ruby Speechley, author of Missing
-
Just why is a teenage girl lying unconscious in a hospital bed, with her best friend watching over her? And why haven’t both their mothers been on speaking terms for years? So begins this twisty, easy-to-read suburban suspense novel. Containing several mysteries to keep the reader guessing and lots of amusing moments — you’re not in that hot tub again, are you, Colin? — I was hooked throughout. Compelling and ultimately uplifting, this is a most enjoyable and well-written novel.
Fiona Mitchell, author of The Swap

A fab thriller!
Tina Baker, author of Call Me Mummy

A tense exploration of family dynamics.

Hooked from the first page by this toxic web of suburban frailties in the internet age, where a clash of values between two mothers endangers the very children they are so keen to protect.
