It’s always fun to read the backstory of rich, glamorous families, especially when you have outliers in their midst. And Abby definitely doesn’t fit the mold. She’s a single mom and artistic. Her daughter attends the elite school on scholarship. Hollis is hiding a secret and is worried her son, Daniel, might repeat a mistake he made at his last school. And Kara’s picture-perfect life isn’t.
The one thing all three moms have in common is that their teens are uncommunicative. And all moms are familiar with that stage. But it means that their kids are covering up the facts when a fellow student is murdered on a school trip, and now the parents are also.
I loved that I had no idea where this was going, and I suspected everyone!
Thanks to NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer and Thriller Book Lovers The Pulse for an arc introducing me to this new-to-me author.
