Friendship under suspicion

An accident involving three teenage boys becomes the fault line running through the lives of their mothers: one boy is dead, one is in a coma, and one cannot speak. As Lindsey, Kendra, and Dani investigate what happened, the search shifts from a single incident to questions about what they know of their children and one another. Set in a wealthy Southern California suburb, the psychological thriller links family bonds and longstanding friendship with jealousy, secrecy, and the strain of public appearances. Its central tension rests on how uncertainty about the boys’ accident unsettles both households and the wider community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

An unthinkable tragedy forever changes a group of teens and turns family against family in this edge-of-your-seat thriller that begs to be read in one sitting.

Best friends Lindsey, Kendra, and Dani endure every parent's nightmare when a tragic accident befalls their teenage boys, leaving one dead, another in a coma, and a third too traumatized to speak.

Reeling from the worst night of their lives, the three mothers plunge into a desperate investigation of the bizarre incident. How could something so horrible happen in their wealthy Southern California suburb?

They soon discover that the accident was just the beginning, and troubling discoveries lead to chilling questions: Do they really know their children? Do they even know each other? As more secrets surface, a fog of doubt and suspicion threatens to poison their families, their friendships, and the whole community.

With the illusion of happiness and safety long gone, these women must now confront the hazards of heartbreak, the consequences of jealousy, and the dangers of living double lives.
