Synopsis :
"Mrs. Cass, we were hoping your son could answer a few questions about the girl who disappeared last night..."
Erika Cass has a perfect family and a perfect life. Until the evening when two detectives show up at her front door.
A high school girl has vanished from Erika's quiet suburban neighborhood. The police suspect the worst--murder. And Erika's teenage son, Liam, was the last person to see the girl alive.
Erika has always sensed something dark and disturbed in her seemingly perfect older child. She wants to believe he's innocent, but as the evidence mounts, she can't deny the truth--Liam may have done the unthinkable.
Now she must ask herself:
How far will she go to protect her son?
This is what I say :
The Prefect Son is quite predictable in certain way. It gives an impression of one perspective and Freida did a 180 degree turn and it's a different perspective altogether. So, if you read the book with that 180 degree turn, then you will be able to figure out how the story goes.
Let me spoilt it for you this round. Freida will build the expectation that Liam is the killer and that's through the POV of the mum, Erika. But Erika doesn't know everything so what you read is not everything there is to know about Liam.
When Frieda had enough fun confusing you as the reader, she will then revealed who the actual killer is and it wont be Liam. It will be someone else. The fun for me as a reader is to figure out who the killer is knowing that it wouldnt be Liam and in this case I was correct.
The hint would be, the killer is someone close.
