One Little Lie is a twisty and unnerving story about the price of motherhood and the unthinkable things we do to protect our children. Deborah’s son was killed four years ago. Alice’s son is in prison for committing that crime.

Deborah would give anything to have her boy back, and Alice would do anything to right her son’s wrongs. Driven by guilt and the need for redemption, Alice has started a support group for parents with troubled children. But as the network begins to grow, she soon finds out just how easy it is for one little lie to spiral out of control. They call it mother’s intuition, but can you ever really know your own child? Deeply psychological and suspenseful. One Little Lie is a twisty and unnerving story about the price of motherhood and the unthinkable things we do to protect our children.

This is a dark and at times shocking read, with a great twist that I didn’t see coming. I couldn’t put this book down. Fantastic read
