Mason Hill, a 14-year-old with autism, is found leaning over the body of a woman—both are covered in blood. Convinced that Mason killed the woman, the police call in autism expert Casey Walker to help gather evidence to convict him. Mason’s mother, a former beauty queen and socialite, is understandably protective of her son. Insisting on Mason’s innocence, she refuses to allow Casey to work with him. As Casey delves into the case, she finds problems with Mason’s medical records. Her suspicions multiply when she interviews Mason’s older sister, Savannah, who remembers Mason as a completely normal toddler. Bringing out the psychological depths of Berry’s (The Perfect Child) thriller, narrators Emily Ellet, Eileen Stevens, Brian Holden, and Marli Watson describe how Casey puts her own life at risk to find the answers that will clear Mason’s name and protect his rights. The narrators’ depiction of Berry’s host of unsavory characters is chilling.
VERDICT Abusive parents, vengeful children, biased police, and a troubling twist on autism spectrum disorder will draw listeners in. Recommend to Berry fans and readers of psychological thrillers.
