What if mother doesn’t know best…?

In a close-knit English village, Chrissy and Alice were once best friends. So were their sons, Leo and Robbie. Until the night Leo killed Robbie with a single, devastating punch. Now Leo has gone to prison, Chrissy has lost her pub, and Alice has been pouring her anger into a twisted project . . .

As Leo’s parole date approaches, the villagers are incensed and fearful about the prospect of his return. But when Chrissy arrives to collect Leo from prison, he isn’t there. The staff tell her he has already been released, but nobody knows where he’s gone.

As the village closes ranks, Chrissy realizes her former friends are suspects in her son’s disappearance, not the least of which is still-bitter Alice. Is Leo being punished for what happened that terrible night? Or do the answers lie further back, in a dark past none of them wants to revisit?

I normally don't write reviews, but this book was a drag to get through, unfortunately. The narrator did a fantastic job and the writing was fine. It was the story and the character development that lacked and made this only a 3 star read for me. I understand having flawed characters, but they were all just unlikeable. Every twist I saw coming, there were no surprises or second guesses. All in all, not a book I'll be recommending.

Wish it had been better!
