Two sisters. One mistake. A thousand consequences.

Kate and Bec are sisters, but they could not be less alike.

Bec lives the perfect life: perfect house, perfect husband, perfect children. That is, until she meets Ryan - ten years her junior, wild and exciting, his arrival makes her question everything.

Her sister Kate's life is anything but perfect. Her modelling career ended suddenly over a decade ago; and since then she's lived a lonely existence. But when she meets tall, kind, funny Adam, things start to look up. Yet something doesn't quite add up, and as he avoids Kate's questions, she begins to wonder if he really is too good to be true . . . .

But as tensions mount and secrets are revealed, which sister is about to make the wrong choice? And what if some mistakes just can't be put right?

A novel about mistakes and choices, relationships and forgiveness, The Mistake will have you gripped to your seat. Not since Liane Moriarty have we met such sharp, sassy characters and been captivated by such a suspenseful, tantalising read.

Liane Moriarty meets Jane Fallon in this gripping tale of family, love and secrets

Reviews
An amazing, irresistible read . . . I couldn't put this down! * Jaclyn Moriarty *
Addictive storytelling from an exciting new talent * Fiona McIntosh *
I absolutely loved this novel: fresh, funny and heartfelt. I didn't want it to end! * Liane Moriarty *
The Mistake fits so much in - brilliantly drawn characters, witty asides and twists and turns that make you race to the end. Whether you're rooting for them or wanting to shout at them, the sisters' lives are ones you want to keep reading about. I loved it. It totally got me out of my lockdown reading slump! McMahon writes like a dream. * Asia Mackay *
I was turning the pages well into the night. I loved it - that undercurrent of menace, but never quite knowing where the menace is coming from * Sarah J. Naughton *
What a treat to read! The Mistake is an intelligent thriller with heart and guts - fantastically funny yet creepily menacing. Brilliantly written and immersive, it's a wonderful tale of what it means to be a sister, a mother, a wife and a lover in a world that judges on first appearances - and sometimes bears a grudge * Harriet Walker, author of The New Girl *
