Saving Max
By Antoinette van Heugten
Danielle Parkman is a highly successful lawyer. She is also a loving
mother. But as her only son, Max, begins navigating through his
teenage years, he starts to slip away from her. He dabbles with
drugs and his behavior grows violent. Danielle seeks help, checking
her son into a reputable psychiatric hospital. Shortly after his
arrival, things take a dramatic turn for the worse.
Danielle
watches as Max’s behavior becomes increasingly psychotic,
culminating when she finds him in the room of another teen who has
been brutally murdered. Max is lying next to him, unconscious and
covered in blood. Danielle does the only thing she can think of—she
tries to drag her son away from the scene. But she is caught.
Danielle,
temporarily freed on bond, must stay one step ahead of the law as
she seeks the real killer to prove her son’s innocence. And
Danielle will do anything to prove Max’s innocence.
I
thoroughly enjoyed reading Saving Max. The fast-paced action
held my attention throughout, and I often found it difficult to
put the book down. My only complaint would be that, while there
were descriptions of the murder throughout the story, the chapter
near the end that describes the murder in step-by step horrifically
graphic details was much too violent for my taste. Despite that,
I did enjoy the story and would highly recommend Saving Max
to anyone who loves a suspense-filled mystery thriller.
