Under Her Care: A Thriller for Women

From the bestselling author of The Perfect Child comes a shocking thriller about the disturbing complexities of a mother's love and the deadly consequences of unravelling family secrets. On a humid summer day in Alabama, a mayor's wife turns up brutally murdered under a railroad bridge. Standing next to her body is fourteen-year-old Mason Hill, the autistic son of former Miss USA Genevieve Hill. The locals are quick to level their verdict on young Mason: he did it.

The town detective calls in local autism expert Casey Walker to consult on the case. At first, Casey tries to keep an open mind. But the more time she spends with Genevieve, the more her unease grows, and she suspects that Genevieve is doing more than just protecting her son. Casey's misgivings surrounding Genevieve's story only intensify when she meets Savannah, Genevieve's nineteen-year-old daughter. Savannah, as it turns out, has some disturbing secrets of her own.

As Casey dives ever deeper into the Hill family dynamic, her search for the truth leads to another shocking murder—one that shatters her understanding of the human condition in ways she never imagined. The more Casey uncovers, the more she realizes that the Hill family is hiding something much darker and more sinister than anyone could have anticipated.

Genevieve's devotion to her son Mason appears to be unwavering, but Casey can't shake the feeling that there is more to the story. She begins to wonder if Genevieve's actions are driven by a deeper, more twisted maternal instinct than anyone could have predicted. As the investigation deepens, Casey finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about the nature of love, the bonds of family, and the lengths a mother will go to protect her own.

The shocking twists and turns of the case leave Casey reeling, and she finds herself caught in a web of deceit and betrayal that threatens to consume her. With the clock ticking and the stakes higher than ever, Casey must race to uncover the truth before it's too late, even if it means confronting the darkest corners of the human psyche.

Ultimately, this gripping thriller explores the complexities of family, the depths of a mother's love, and the devastating consequences that can arise when those closest to us harbor the most disturbing secrets. Fans of psychological suspense will be captivated by this chilling and immersive tale that challenges the reader's assumptions about the nature of truth, justice, and the human condition.
