The Playdate by Victoria Jenkins (Bookouture)

Dani, young single mother, meets older Adele at a playdate. They come from different worlds, Adele lives in an affluent neighbourhood in an abusive marriage, and Dani struggles every day to survive. Both seem to be good mothers and become friends.

But what lay behind closed doors is often very different from the facade on display for the eyes of the outside world.

Secrets just wait to be exposed.

Twisty thriller, but somehow slow and unconvincing for my taste.

Overall good read for all domestic thriller lovers.

3/5
