One Fatal Mistake by Tom Hunt

What happens when a cover up goes really, really bad?

Thank you Berkley publishing for sending me a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Synopsis from Amazon: When eighteen-year-old Joshua Mayo takes a man’s life in a terrible accident, he leaves the scene without reporting the crime to the police. He hopes to put the awful night behind him and move on with his life. But, of course, he ends up telling his mother, Karen, what happened. Karen has raised Joshua on her own in Cedar Rapids, Iowa–and she’d thought they’d finally made it. He was doing well in school and was only months away from starting college at his dream school. After hearing his dark confession, she’s forced to make a choice no parent should have to make. A choice that draws them both into a web of deceit that will change their lives forever–if they can make it out alive.

What a roller coaster ride! It’s a little predictable and a little crazy, but it is well written and a quick, easy read. It’s an entertaining thriller and one to pick up if you aren’t used to reading thrillers but want to keep your eyes glued to the page. I think the twists got a little too carried away for my liking.

3.5/5 Stars
