Her son accidentally kills a man.
They cover it up.
Then everything goes wrong.

After hearing his dark confession, she is forced to make a choice no parent should have to make, one that draws them both into a web of deceit that will change their lives forever--if they make it out alive....

My Thoughts…
One Fatal Mistake is my first Tom Hunt book. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I picked it up and I was hoping for the best. While some of the choices that the characters make and the way things come together had me going yea… that would never happen, I couldn’t stop reading. I was so enthralled with the story and caught up on the drama of Josh, Karen, and the rest of the characters that I just couldn’t put the book down.
There are thrills, suspense, teenage fear, and horrendous choices made by all involved. While this is a thriller, I would say it isn’t as much a thriller as I expected. I was able to predict how the story would go for the most part but I still couldn’t stop reading. I was hooked from the beginning to the end and am excited to read more from Tom Hunt.
