Like Mother, Like Daughter

£9.99

Cleo arrives for dinner at her childhood home, only to find food burning in the oven, no sign of her mother, and a bloody shoe under the sofa. The polar opposite of Cleo, whose ‘out of control’ emotions and ‘unsafe’ behaviour have created a seemingly unbridgeable rift between mother and daughter, Kat is the epitome of glamorous perfection: a happily married, successful corporate lawyer. What Cleo doesn’t know, is that Kat’s not just a lawyer: she’s her firm’s fixer. She’s damn good at it too. Growing up in a dangerous group home taught her how to think fast, stay calm under pressure and recognise a real threat when she sees one. And in the days leading up to her disappearance, Kat has become aware of all too many of those. As Cleo digs deeper into her mother’s disappearance, it becomes clear that the two have far more in common than they ever could have imagined.

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO PROTECT THE ONE YOU LOVE?

Cleo is a college student: rebellious and provocative, with no interest in playing by the rules.

Kat is her mother and her opposite: a happily married corporate lawyer – the essence of perfection.

But when Cleo arrives home to find dinner burning, a bloody shoe under the sofa and no sign of Kat, it becomes clear that the one thing both mother and daughter have in common is keeping secrets.

Who is Kat really? And if her lies were meant to protect them, how dangerous is the truth?
