The Perfect Son: A gripping psychological thriller with a breathtaking twist

This one redeemed Freida for me. After the last few I read I was ready to give up. I saw the twist coming a mile away, but the book itself had more substance than usual.

Received this as a hand-me-down book from a friend. Also discovered it was available as part of my Audible subscription (potential red flag). Listened to a couple chapters, but mostly read this one.

It was a page turner - and a fast read once I sat down to read it. I wanted to know how it turned out. BUT, it was awfully predictable. I've read a number of this author's books, and generally enjoyed them. This one tried so hard to get the reader to believe one person was guilty - you just knew it couldn't possibly be that person (what kind of horrible book would lead you directly to the culprit from page 1?) ... and I had a few possibilities in mind - top of my list was the real culprit. (I'm not usually very good at predicting the twists.) The characters were all so stereotypical, too ... I think I would have been upset had I paid for this book. This author definitely has better options out there!

Loved it. That was a major twist I didn’t see coming. I need to read more works by this author

This was my favorite Freida McFadden book! She knows how to write a thriller.

This book was intense and had me wondering who the freaking killer was! I kept thinking, is it really Liam? Could it be Tyler? I even said it was the dad but that thought didn’t stay for very long, I was so kept on my toes and just really wanting to know what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed this read. Good job Frieda. You did it again! I definitely recommend this book. The surprise twist at the end though, keeps you guessing and makes me wonder will there be a book two? Maybe? And I’m ready to read that one!
