Kindle) Then, I read that Ms. Lapena is well
known as a "master of manipulation with yet
another page-turner". Who knew? So many great
authors!
The book begins by
describing a lavish mansion in Brecken Hill an
exclusive area near the Hudson River and New York
City. It's a beautiful, peaceful looking place.
What no one is aware of is that there's been two
gruesome murders inside on Easter night. The story
begins 24 hours earlier when the Merton adult
children are dressing to go to Easter dinner at
the same lavish mansion where their parents Sheila
and Fred Merton reside. Dan and Jenna two of the
siblings dread this family affair, while Catherine
the eldest is looking forward to the holiday
dinner. As it turns out, they all had reasons to
expect their Father's vindictive wrath, since all
three were considered a disappointment to him.
As you can imagine,
with millions at stake, Detective Reyes, the
investigating officer looks at the children as his
first suspects. Especially when he discovers he's
been lied to by all three of them. But this is
just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many
others like the former nanny, the jealous sister,
and the former assistant that have secrets which
could make them suspects as well. So, just when
you think you've solved this mystery, you probably
have not!
As one reviewer said,
"Ms. Lapena keeps you guessing until the very last
page."
Happy reading!
