Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

Explores motherhood in all its complexities - wrapped up in a breathless, shocking thriller I could not put down

Smart, propulsive and impossible to put down

A gripping thriller. As suspenseful as it is thought-provoking.

A deeply satisfying nail-biter that is, at its heart, a beautiful love story of a mother and a daughter

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO PROTECT THE ONE YOU LOVE? 
 
Cleo is a college student: rebellious and provocative, with no interest in playing by the rules. 
 
Kat is her mother and her opposite: a happily married corporate lawyer - the essence of perfection. 
 
But when Cleo arrives home to find dinner burning, a bloody shoe under the sofa and no sign of Kat, it becomes clear that the one thing both mother and daughter have in common is keeping secrets. 
 
Who is Kat really? And if her lies were meant to protect them, how dangerous is the truth?
