Perfect Daughter (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781962798822)

She would do anything for her mother's approval.

Miriam Cassidy built her entire life around being good enough. Good enough daughter. Good enough businesswoman. Good enough to finally earn her mother Elaine's unqualified love.

Every Tuesday, they had lunch. For eight years, this tradition held them together through grief, growth, and the complicated dance of mother and daughter.

Then Elaine met David. Charming, attentive David, who made Elaine glow in ways Miriam never could.

And then Elaine was dead.

Detective Jack Rourke has seen his share of family tragedies. But something about this case-the grief, makes him look closer.

Because in twenty years of detective work, he's learned one truth: Everyone lies about something.

The question is what.

A gripping psychological thriller about the price of perfection and the lies we tell to survive.
