Prom Mom by | Laura Lippman

It's been over 20 years since Amber Glass lived in her hometown. A hometown in which she became known as "Prom Mom' - the girl who was accused and served time for the murder of her newborn on prom night. A child she claims was dead. Popular, Joe Simpson was the father to the child. In the 22 years since the incident Joe Simpson has moved on. He is successful and married to Meredith who is not only beautiful but has found success as a plastic surgeon. 

Amber returns to her hometown after inhering her step-fathers estate. She uses this as an opportunity to open an art gallery and come face to face with Joe who she has not talked to since prom. Prom Mom is told from Amber, Joe and Meredith's points of views. There are a lot of curve balls and things get rather juicy and then explode. Sometimes you're not sure who to trust or if you should or shouldn't like a character!
