Description
A New York Times bestseller, Good Morning America Book Club Pick and People Book of the Week, Mad Honey is a powerful novel of suspense about love, family, hidden truths and the risks we take to become ourselves.
Olivia McAfee knows what it means to start over. After her seemingly perfect life in Boston is shattered by the darker side of her husband, she returns to her small New Hampshire hometown with her son, Asher, and takes over her father’s beekeeping business.
Lily Campanello is searching for a fresh start too. She and her mother move to Adams, New Hampshire, for Lily’s final year of high school, hoping to leave the past behind.
When Lily and Asher meet, their new beginnings seem to be working. They fall for each other, and for a time Lily finally feels happy. But beneath their relationship are questions about trust and the things neither of them has fully shared.
Then Olivia receives a devastating phone call. Lily is dead, and Asher is being questioned by the police.
Olivia is convinced her son is innocent, but as the case develops, she is forced to confront uncomfortable similarities between Asher and his father, along with the growing realisation that her son has been keeping secrets.
Mad Honey combines suspense and an emotional love story with an exploration of identity, trauma, acceptance and the complicated truths people keep from those closest to them.
