Always seem to love thrillers set in Australia,so this combined with the storyline blurb of parents who will stop at nothing to get their kids enrolled into the perfect school meant it caught my eye, and am glad it did

Ultra rich neighbourhood riddled with secrets and past and present indiscretions

Near Sociopathic Mum’s prepared to do anything for their precious offspring

A new Mum and Son arrival that causes feathers and cliques to be ruffled

A gala day at the best private school where the kids compete to get a place in the new school intake ( known as the ‘Hunger Games’ by some of the Dad’s )

And cakes! Lots of sumptuous alluring mouthwatering butter cream filled cakes

Seriously what more could I want in a book?
Well there was also great writing and a story that was addictive with fast snippy dialogue and a mystery or two with a fark very dark ending

Pretty much all combined to make this a perfect read for me, very enjoyable and more than a bit shocking!

What a Mum is prepared to do for her kids should never be underestimated….😎

Ali Lowe has long since become one of my favorite authors, with her twisty plot lines and imperfect characters that we can all relate to. Her portrayal of modern parenting is second to none, and so is her ability to weave a mystery. Highly recommended!
