Description
In a small, suburban town, the murder of a local high school student rocks one woman’s family to its core—and threatens to expose her deepest, darkest secrets in the process.
After a lifetime of hardship, Jessica Thornton finally has the life she’s dreamed of: a new marriage to a realtor with burgeoning success; a daughter whose athleticism has won her a scholarship to college; and a freshly-secured grant from her bank to finally complete her own higher education.
Her life today is a complete reversal from the not-too-distant past, when the death of her first husband left her penniless and desperate to provide for her then-newborn child. But after the murder of her children’s high school classmate, a series of disturbances brings Jessica to question whether her dreams ever actually came true, or whether they’ve just been delusions all along . . .
In the days after the murder, suspicion creeps in at every corner, beginning with Jessica’s daughter and stepson, who won’t tell her where they were on that fateful night. Then she discovers that her husband’s business is failing, not growing, and that the stories he’s told of meetings with high-powered investors were nothing more than lies. And when a private investigator comes to look into the death of her first husband, her last foundation of truth slips suddenly away.

Featured Reviews
An incredible story of lies and murder in suburbia kept me absolutely enthralled. The depiction of the characters in this high-school driven world was so precise and believable that it kept me turning the pages. Highly recommended!
I was on the edge of my seat reading this book in one sitting. I could not put it down. I had to know what happened. Prentice wrote a deliciously chilling, riveting, and sinister tale. A tale of deception, murder, lies, schemes, and loyalty. As each chapter passes a reader will think they have a grasp on who is the one lying. Only to turn another page and discover another lie and cover up, from a different angle. The author has great plotting, skilled story telling, and talent for keeping a reader engaged. The only character I liked was the defense attorney, all the other main characters are despicable. But I was compelled to keep reading. I love a book that keeps me mesmerized. And hanging at the end.
