Sara made one promise to herself when she was growing up in foster care: that if she was lucky enough to have a family, she’d always do whatever it took to protect them.
Looking around her home with its cosy kitchen and living room, where her energetic teenage daughters and gorgeous four-year-old son all eat, play and live together, she knows she’d do anything to keep them safe.
So when Sara’s husband Matt loses his job and every shred of his confidence with it, she knows it’s up to her to bring the family back from the brink. Though she doesn’t know where she can possibly find the money they need to keep afloat.
Until her boss at work offers her a deal. He’ll help out. She just has to do him one little favour. But could trusting him save Sara’s family, or will it be a mistake that costs her absolutely everything?
Perfect for fans of My Lovely Wife, The Girl on the Train, and Something in the Water.
Kept me on the edge of my seat… I loved that it kept taking me by surprise, sending my heart and pulse racing. A nail biter of a read where the suspense doesn’t let up. Loved it!
By the Letter Book Reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I thought My Lovely Wife was intense, this one was even more. Pretty close to unputdownable. Creepy and twisty. I’m so happy about the ending. I was really made to be invested in the characters.
Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was on the edge of my seat and through bleary eyes, I read this in one sitting… Make sure you have nothing else on when you start One Mistake as you will not be able to tear yourself away! You have been warned.
