Book Description:
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:
I have read previously books from the talented author, Mary Frances Hill, and was excited to have the opportunity to read her newest release, A Quiet Kind Of Wrong. It was an honor to get my hands and eyes on it. It was easy for me to quickly get hooked on this story. I thought it was a fabulous read. It as full of suspense, mystery, action, drama, and danger. i enjoyed getting to know the main character, Jane Taylor. I found she was relatable and felt as though I knew her in real life. It was great taking this adventure with her and seeing how her story would end. She gets involved in a lot of twists and turns along the way. I never knew what would happen from scene to scene. There were times thinking to myself on what would I do in those situations. I had to continue turning the pages until I read the very last page.
I am going to give A Quiet Kind Of Wrong a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who love to read thrillers. I would love to read more like this one in the near future from Mary Frances Hill in the future. I believe this one should not be missed and most definitely worth reading.
I received a paperback copy of Mary Frances Hill's A Quiet Kind Of Wrong from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
