The wealthy McCallister family may be "old money," but that doesn't stop old scandals from coming back to haunt them. When Meredith McCallister is murdered and an autopsy reveals her clandestine past pregnancy, her sister, Liz, realizes that Meredith's life may have held more secrets than her death. Liz's search for answers uncovers not only a long-lost niece, but also the dark and disturbing dysfunction lurking beneath her family's seemingly perfect surface. Can she bring justice to their many victims without becoming one herself? Richards (author of the Jessica Kallan mystery series, published under the name Susan C. Richards) sets out fast-paced and frantic psychological suspense that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Narrator Jennifer Jill Araya's expressive performance makes the characters sympathetic, though self-destructive, and creates an engrossing listening experience. Araya embodies Liz in this first-person narrative, propelling listeners through each turbulent twist. VERDICT This audio will appeal to listeners seeking an intricately plotted suspense full of family secrets and scandal; just when you think it's safe to trust someone, think again. Recommended for fans of Joy Fielding, Jillian Medoff, and Tarryn Fisher.--Lauren Hackert
