From the author of Richard & Judy Book Club pick The Memory Wood.
The edge-of-your-seat, chilling thriller you won't forget--the perfect holiday read for fans of Alex Michaelides and Lucy Foley.
Blood-chilling... the best hook of any thriller in the last few years. -- Helen Fields, author of The Profiler
When did your child become a killer?
When you look down at your newborn baby, you realize what other parents mean--you would do anything to keep your child safe.
So when Joseph Carver wakes one night to find his teenage son, Max, covered in blood--his voice shaking as he insists it was a mistake--Joseph does the only thing he can.
He helps Max bury the body.
Joseph thinks that's the end of the nightmare--until it happens again.
You'd do anything for your child--even cover up a murder. But would you do it twice?
