Synopsis: On their first date back in law school, Natalie and Will Clarke bonded over drinks, dinner and whether they could get away with murder. Now married, they’ll put the latter to the test when an unchecked danger in their community places their son in jeopardy. Working as a criminal defense attorney, Nat refuses to rely on the broken legal system to keep her family safe. She knows that if you want justice…you have to get it yourself.
I had previously read Margot Hunt's Best Friends Forever and enjoyed it so I was eager to read this book. It tackles the difficult subject of child molestation without getting too graphic, all the while maintaining a fast pace as Nat and Will must deal with the fall out of what they have done to protect their son. I had to suspend my disbelief more than usual while reading this, although that isn't necessarily a bad thing. As a parent, surely many will relate to why they do what they do, but the aftermath and the ending were a little too perfectly wrapped up for me. Still, this is a fun, nail-biting thriller and I look forward to more of the same from Margot Hunt.
