About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

WHAT IF YOUR SON HAD MURDERED SOMEONE?

Sarah always thought of herself and her husband, Tom, as good people. But that was before their son Freddy came home saying he'd done something terrible. Begging them not to tell the police.

Soon Sarah and Tom must find out just how far they are willing to push themselves, and their marriage, to protect their only child . . .

As the lies build up and Sarah is presented with the perfect opportunity to get Freddy off the hook, she is faced with an impossible decision . . .

Save her son . . . or save herself?

Great story

I have enjoyed other books by Jane Cory but this one was a huge let down for me. The story didn't really go anywhere and the characters were weak and unlikable.

The narration needed to be done by a male and female to aid the story being told by two different view points.

Big let down from this author
