Alibis and lies… oh my! ~Sheila

The Merton family lives in upstate New York. They don’t come much richer than Fred and Sheila Merton, but no amount of money could protect them when the couple is brutally murdered in their home the night after a family dinner with their three adult children.

As the news is released to Catherine, Dan, and Jenna, they are shocked and devastated.

Or – are they?
Catherine is married to a doctor and is referred to as the “favorite.”
Dan, married to Lisa, has been out of work for quite some time
Jenna, the wild child, believes in creativity over responsibility – and lives off of her parents.

Each – could inherit millions.

Fred and Sheila may have looked good to the outside world, but the children know better. Fred was moody and unpredictable, and Sheila never really wanted to be tied down to the title of mom.
Did one of them snap that night when enough was enough…

or is something far more sinister….



I love books that are recommended by friends (thank you, Jennifer, for this one). I enjoyed this twisted book that cut right to the chase – almost like a synopsis first… and then you are caught up on who these people are/were and what each has at stake.

Alibis and lies!

Book Club Worthy – maybe, there is definitely a lot to talk about with all three siblings
