The Perfect Girl

A Novel

Zoe Maisey is a seventeen-year-old musical prodigy with a genius IQ. Three years ago, she was involved in a tragic incident that left three classmates dead. She served her time, and now her mother, Maria, is resolved to keep that devastating fact tucked far away from their new beginning, hiding the past even from her new husband and demanding Zoe do the same.

Tonight Zoe is giving a recital that Maria has been planning for months. It needs to be the performance of her life. But instead, by the end of the evening, Maria is dead.

In the aftermath, everyone—police, family, Zoe’s former solicitor, and Zoe herself—tries to piece together what happened. But as Zoe knows all too well, the truth is rarely straightforward, and the closer we are to someone, the less we may see.

Captivating story

I enjoyed this story very much. There were several turns that it took that I didn't see coming. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 due to a storyline that came out of nowhere and didn't really resolve. There were also some slow points. But overall a fine book.

Loved this book and the performance.

This book has a great storyline, a bit sad, but keeps your attention and very entertaining. Would definitely recommend.

Good performances...

Enjoyed this book, but would have liked story to continue longer before dropping to epilogue.

Thought provoking, kept me interested, but predictable.

Narration good. Characters interesting and diverse. Felt like the ending was totally rushed. The plot line was good but the ending was unsatisfying b/c it was rushed.

great read/listen

great story line, some of the voices were great, others not so much. overall great read though! would recommend to others
