The Perfect Son – Book Review

“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?

Erika seems to be having a perfect life–a perfect son Liam and a perfect family. But Erika knew that something is not right about her favorite son Liam who seems to be exhibiting a dark character since he was a small kid. When one of Liam’s classmates Olivia disappears. Erika and nearly the whole community suspect that Liam has something to do with Olivia’s disappearance.

Like all her books, The Perfect Son is fast paced and page turner. The story is told in the POVs of Erika and Olivia each giving an insight about Liam. Is Liam really a psychopath or not? As a reader you will be hooked into the story. The ending however was completely unexpected and the small cliff hanger at the end makes you wonder what is in it for the store of Liam and his mother.

Overall, this was a four star.
