What a gloriously fast and fun read! Full of the nastiest characters, this one kept me guessing until the very last few pages when all was finally revealed. I read it over a couple of hours this afternoon and truly could not put it down as I just HAD to know the truth.
Secrets and lies, the basic formula for domestic suspense, abound between the pages of this book. Someone has murdered the very wealthy Fred and Sheila Merton of Brecken Hill, NY. Their three adult children -- Catherine, Dan, and Jenna -- are devastated. They'd all just seen their parents for Easter dinner. So what if things took a nasty turn that evening. Surely none of them were that desperate for their inheritance -- or were they?
There's no shortage of suspects in the murder case and the two detectives assigned to the investigation doggedly pursue all of those connected to the family. Each of the siblings has his or her own reason for the way in which they respond to the questions. What a quandary to sort. So many reasons for murder, but did one of them really do it?
This really hit the spot for me today and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had so many guesses because, honestly, any one of the many despicable people within the story could have done it. Usually, I find someone I can relate to in a drama such as this, but these people! Hope you like it as much as I did if you're looking for pure entertainment in a mystery thriller.
