About this listen

 How far would you go to protect your children?

For parents living in the beautiful coastal town of Pacific Pines, all their hopes and dreams are pinned on the outcome of the annual Gala Day hosted by St Ignatius Boys' School. To be accepted into the prestigious institution, their sons must battle it out, facing rigorous rounds of physical and mental tests. Their parents will stop at nothing to ensure their sons succeed.

But after one boy is struck down in a hit and run, the scandals, secrets and lies that entangle three mothers threaten to unravel their seemingly perfect lives . . .

How far will the women go to, not just to save their families - but also their reputations?

Make sure you don't miss the latest scandal. Everyone is reading Ali Lowe...

Critic reviews

One to enjoy in a single satisfying sitting. Bravo, Ali Lowe
A real page turner, this is a delicious dip into the dark side of parenting
All stars

Not one likeable character, v one dimensional. Essentially the story is just about rich families doing their best to get their kids into a good school… and I have to listen to that from some of my friends… and it’s boring! V disappointed as enjoyed Trivia Night.

Very disappointed with this new book
