Book Description:
One mistake. One secret. One family about to unravel.
Jane Taylor seems to have it all—a loving husband, a successful career as a children’s book author, and a picture-perfect life in Orange County. But one terrible night, she hits her neighbor’s teenage son, panics, and drives away. The police never come to arrest her.
For a year, Jane hides behind her carefully constructed suburban façade. Then a true crime podcaster revisits the unsolved case, and her son, Noah, a podcast addict, discovers the guilt-soaked letters Jane has been writing to the victim.
When Jane resolves to confess, Noah begs her for time. He’s sure the truth about that night is more complicated. Terrified of what her imprisonment would do to her family, Jane reluctantly agrees to Noah’s request. But as their search for answers pulls them deeper into the secrets of their seemingly safe neighborhood, Jane soon realizes that she’s not the only one hiding something.
Dark, twist-filled, and emotionally charged, A Quiet Kind of Wrong explores guilt, family loyalty, and how far we’ll go to protect the lives we’ve created, even when they're built on lies.

I rated this book 5 *****'s
Blow my mind away
A beautiful story of family, friendship, and the power to be truthful to yourself. This book is hard to put down. It blows my mind away. What a beautiful book to read. It is so intriguing. I thought that I knew the killer, but I was wrong—a mother who will do anything to protect his kid and his marriage, that is Jane. Noah, the son, will do the same to protect his Mom as well. Rumors can ruin everything, as always. The key is to keep away from everybody. Friendships that you think you can keep are hard, especially when one person has a hidden agenda. Truth will always set you free.
One thing I learned from this book is to try to listen to a podcast. It could be fun and intriguing, just like in the book. It is my first time reading the author's writing. I am sure it won't be my last.
