Frieda McFadden has done it again, folks!
Erika Cass thinks she has the perfect family until the police show up on her doorstep accusing her 16-year-old son, Liam, of kidnapping and murdering a girl from his class. Liam has always shown signs of dark and disturbing thoughts, but Erika has done her best to help keep Liam away from acting on those thoughts. But now, she's not sure she can protect her son anymore.
My audiobook skipped ahead almost to the end for some reason, so I accidentally found out the twist long before I was supposed to. However, that didn't fully ruin the book for me. I still enjoyed the lead-up and aftermath of the twist.
Thriller lovers will definitely get a kick out of The Perfect Son.
