Summary

'Cleverly written. Powerful, shocking, totally believable' Sheryl Browne

The perfect daughter…

Jess Harper has spent her whole life trying to make her mum, Abigail happy and proud. And everything Jess does, from the clothes she wears, the job she has, the men she dates, are all approved by Abigail first.

The perfect boyfriend…

So when Jess announces that she has a new man in her life – plumber Adam – Abigail is less than impressed. 'A plumber? Really, Jessica....' Adam encourages Jess to break free from her mum’s manipulation, can’t she see what’s happening?

The perfect mother….

But Abigail is only doing these things to keep Jess safe, to protect her from getting hurt again…isn’t she?

Or the perfect liar?

Jess, caught in the middle, doesn’t know who to believe or trust. And then Adam vanishes without trace.

Now Jess is the police’s prime suspect and they want to know if Jess really is as perfect as she seems…

A gripping new psychological thriller from top 50 bestselling author Alex Stone. For fans of Sue Watson, Shalini Boland and S.E.Lynes

Mediocre

A tad too long struggled to finish. Too many flashbacks and a bit long winded

too much swallowing

was a bit slow and the amount of times the expression " i swallowed" to indicate discomfort was frankly irritating by the end of the book

Too much self-analysis by the main character.

Could have told this story in 2 hours. We get she was under her mother’s spell. No need to keep constantly returning to her root issues. Far too much padding…
