Snap / Belinda Bauer.

Summary:

Jack's in charge, said his mother when she disappeared up the road to get help. I won't be long. So eleven-year-old Jack and his two younger sisters sat in their broken-down car, bickering and whining and playing I-Spy, waiting for her to come back. But their mother didn't come back. She never came back. Now three years later, a young woman named Catherine While wakes to find a knife beside her bed, and a note reading I could have killed you. With a husband on the road and a baby on the way, Catherine makes a single bad choice that leads to a tangled web of deception and fear. Meanwhile, Jack's still in charge. Of his sisters, of making ends meet, of making sure nobody knows they're all alone in the house. And - quite suddenly - of finding out who murdered his mother.
