Summary

"I’m so very sorry. But your son is dead."

As I hear the words every mother dreads, my pulse races, and I go cold. But even as my world turns upside down, I know the things I’m being told just don’t add up. I have to find out what really happened the night my beautiful boy died....

The police tell me it was a tragedy no one could have prevented. But then they reveal the terrible things Tom was keeping from me. The person they describe is nothing like the decent, honest man I raised. Newly qualified as a doctor, Tom had such a bright future ahead of him.

A mother knows her own child. And I’m determined to prove my son’s innocence.

It’s the last thing I will ever be able to do for him. So I have come to the city where he lived and moved into his empty flat under a different name.

When I discover his diary, it becomes clear his death wasn’t an accident.

And as I get to know Tom’s friends and neighbors, I realize they’re all keeping secrets.

But as I get closer to the truth, I realise my life is in danger, too....

Unbelievably addictive and totally gripping with a twist you won’t see coming. Fans of The Perfect Couple, B A Paris, and JP Delaney will be absolutely hooked.

Worth a Listen

It took a while for me to get into this one and kept thinking it might not be for me, and that it was going to be a typical mother who couldn't accept her son was dead storyline, but got better and better the more I listened couldn't put it down in the end.

Probably the worst Liz Lawyer book

...and I have listed to all of them. Right from the start the narrator ruins the book for me. She has a very 'sweet' accent which really dominates; added to that she doesn't change her voice/accent for the various characters, so its pretty much like she is reading a book. Not that the storyline is very strong either and the first half of the book requires real perseverance. A mother who doesn't believe her son can do anything wrong and we hear how wonderful he is almost from birth. Rather choose another book.
