About this listen

From the bestselling author of The Perfect Child comes a shocking thriller about the disturbing complexities of a mother’s love and the deadly consequences of unravelling family secrets.

On a humid summer day in Alabama, a mayor’s wife turns up brutally murdered under a railroad bridge. Standing next to her body is fourteen-year-old Mason Hill, the autistic son of former Miss USA Genevieve Hill. The locals are quick to level their verdict on young Mason: he did it.

The town detective calls in local autism expert Casey Walker to consult on the case. At first, Casey tries to keep an open mind. But the more time she spends with Genevieve, the more her unease grows, and she suspects that Genevieve is doing more than just protecting her son.

Casey’s misgivings surrounding Genevieve’s story only intensify when she meets Savannah, Genevieve’s nineteen-year-old daughter. Savannah, as it turns out, has some disturbing secrets of her own. But as Casey dives ever deeper into the Hill family dynamic, her search for the truth leads to another shocking murder—one that shatters her understanding of the human condition in ways she never imagined.

Critic reviews

“The action never wavers, and the surprises are unending. Berry is writing at the top of her game.”Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“[It’s] a humdinger…Perfect for suspense fans.”Kirkus Reviews

“Lucinda delivers every time. Unputdownable.”—Tarryn Fisher, New York Times bestselling author

Editorial Review

The plot sickens
"This one’s easy," I thought to myself. "Sit back and go with the flow. I know where this is going." NOT. The story unfolds in a small Alabama town. The mayor’s bludgeoned wife is found by a creek. A former beauty queen and her son have been placed at the scene. All eyes are on the son, an autistic teenager. Author Lucinda Berry was a clinical psychologist and specialized in childhood trauma. She channels her expertise through Casey Walker, an adviser on the case whose shocking discoveries only get more disturbing. The surprise ending truly kept me glued to the edge of my club chair. — Yvonne D.

The ending left much to be desired.

I felt like I must be missing a second book or something. I was hooked on the story then it just ended with a ton of questions that I felt should have been answered with main characters.

Tricky

This story kept me guessing. I enjoy the psychological perspective, as well as the family importance.

Wow, wow, wow!!! What a twist!

Absolutely couldn't stop listening. This production is out of this world, the various voices and accents really made this tale so much more real. The storyline is phenomenal, with so many twists, you are likely to get whiplash. Lucinda is the mistress of mystery!!!

Feels unfinished.

Not bad but not my favorite Lucinda Berry. Would have liked a fuller ending re: the son, cops, Casey, etc.

Did not like the voice used for the Genevieve character. Super grating. And since I’m from the area some of this takes place, narrators out themselves on certain words. It’s Birming-ham down here, not Birming-um like in England. And Tulane is said Two-lane, not Tuh-lane.

Hated the end

I was really enjoying the book until the end. The last two chapters seemed like the author just wanted to finish the book. If you hate books with unfinished endings, then this is not the book for you.

That ending!

Overall the book was pretty good then, pretty sad when the truth came out but I did NOT see that ending coming. Talk about a twist.

Great

Good book. I feel like a little more back story was needed. The performance of the boy was terrible. Robotic and didn’t do what it needed. It definitely was distracting.
