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.

My review:

3.5 For readers who love a morally grey (extra grey) character. The first chapter sets it all up: a suburban mom runs over a neighbor's kid, and nothing is the same (for her) after that. I didn't connect with the main character or the author's writing style. Still, I was curious to see how the author would handle this perspective of keeping such a heavy secret and dealing with guilt, family, interaction with neighbors, and uncovering more story and plot twists. The resolution appears in the very last chapters, which is the type of thriller ending that I prefer with a strong closure.
