A riveting pace and a set of intriguing characters help keep the pages turning…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lucy, who lost her mother at a young age and hoped to find a mother in her mother-in-law, is met with disappointment after she meets Diana Goodwin, her husband\u2019s mother who is outright cold toward her. After Diana is found dead with a suicide note, the family find they have a few shocking surprises in store for them. But the worst is yet to come; as the investigation of the suicide turns into a homicide, all the family members become suspects. With many secrets to hide and a vast inheritance at stake, is it possible that one of them killed Diana? The chapters alternate between Diana and Lucy\u2019s first-person narrative, and the reader witnesses Diana\u2019s righteous attitude slowly weighs her children down. Hepworth keeps the reader engrossed with her characters\u2019 conflicting emotions as she unravels their hidden personalities. There\u2019s no reveal or a red herring that color readers\u2019 perception or allow them to guess identity of the murderer; the ball is in Hepworth\u2019s court. While the last reveal is not astounding, it makes for a satisfactory conclusion. <\/span><\/p>\n
