Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

One son lied. One son died.


Alice’s son is dead. Indigo’s son is accused of murder.


Indigo is determined to prove her beloved Kane is innocent. Searching for evidence, she is helped by a kind stranger who takes an interest in her situation. Little does she know that her new friend has her own agenda.

Alice can’t tell Indigo who she really is. She wants to understand why her son was killed – and she needs to make sure that Indigo’s efforts to free Kane don’t put her remaining family at risk. But how long will it take for Indigo to discover her identity? And what other secrets will come out as she digs deeper?

No one knows a son like his mother. But neither Alice nor Indigo know the whole truth about their boys, and what happened between them on that fateful night.

Keep Him Close is a dark domestic drama from an award-winning writer.

Another addictive read

I think for me the mothers were the pull of the story. Vividly flawed characters, who seem so real. I really enjoyed the book.

Captivating, heart wrenching.

Two incredibly rich and detailed characters. Always a massive tribute to the author when they create a character that you know perhaps wouldnt be your friend in life, but you feel so deeply for nontheless. Thank you for the journey.

Boring

No story really. No twist. No real
Plot. Not recommended. I was disappointed. Not a real thriller at all.
