Publisher's summary

Heather is a single mom who has always done what's best for her daughter, Chloe. From birth up to the age of seventeen, Chloe has never been any trouble, until one night when she calls her mother with some shocking news.

There's been an accident. And now there's a dead body . . .

As always, Heather puts her daughter's safety before all else, but this is one time when she goes too far. Instead of calling the emergency services, Heather hides the body, saving her child from police interviews and public outcry.

But as Heather knows, everything she does has an impact on Chloe's behavior, and as time goes on and the pair struggle to keep their sordid secret hidden, Heather begins to think that she hasn't been such a good mum after all.

In fact, she might have been the worst role model ever . . .

A gripping psychological thriller from the author of Til Death Do Us Part and Run Away With Me.

Awful, awful, awful

This is so terrible. There is no substantial plot here. It is 6 hours of a mother and daughter repeating the same words, phrases, thoughts over and over again. It is aggravating beyond belief. We don't need to hear the same monologue spoken aloud by the mother to the daughter, then immediately repeated internally in the daughter's thoughts, and finally repeated in the mother's internal musings. It is a bunch of filler to make up for lack of plot.

The story defies credulity. The justification for the lead characters' behavior is preposterous.

As Always, All Hurst's Books Are Great!

I've noticed "SB" posts fake nasty reviews on all Daniel's books. Apparently it's personal and petty. The books have all been good and I am glad I recognized a vendetta and ignored them. If the person actually hated his writing so much, why keep buying every book as soon as it comes out? This book was not terrible nor were ANY of his others and I have now purchased the whole collection! He's one of my favorite authors.
