Good enough grades.
Good enough career.
Good enough daughter.

It's never been enough.

Every Tuesday, Miriam Cassidy has lunch with her mother.
Eight years. No missed weeks. No exceptions.

Until the day she finds her dead in the bathtub.

The police call it suicide.
Detective Jack Rourke doesn't.

He's spent twenty years reading people—watching what they say, what they hide, and what doesn't quite add up.

In this case, nothing does.

The timeline shifts.
The stories don't match.
And the man who entered her mother's life eight months ago left more behind than anyone realized.

As pressure builds, Miriam's world begins to fracture—her business failing, debt closing in, and the past refusing to stay buried.

Because the truth isn't hiding in one place.

It's everywhere.

And the closer Rourke gets, the clearer it becomes:

In this family, love doesn't protect.

It complicates.

Perfect Daughter is a gripping psychological thriller about grief, guilt, and the dangerous stories families tell each other—and themselves.

A standalone novel from The Perfect Series.
