Was it Colonel Mustard in the library with a candlestick?
Was it Ms. Scarlett in the lavatory with a piece of rope?
Was it one of the Mercer children in the living room and kitchen with a wire and knife?
Or was it someone else?

Whoever it was, they sure didn’t like Fred and Sheila Mercer.

Shortly after a tense Easter dinner at Fred and Sheila’s, the couple are found murdered.

Who would do that to them?

They have three children. All of them were at Easter dinner. Two of them were with their spouses. One was with a random “boyfriend��. The former nanny and current cleaning lady was there too. One guest couldn’t make it.

All of the guests, as well as those who weren’t at the dinner, have a motive.

This is a smoothly written and unputdownable domestic suspense novel, and I absolutely loved it!

The chapters are short and sweet, making it easy to pause if you need to...but propelling you to continue.

Everyone is a suspect.
Everyone is unlikable...and in this case, it’s welcomed.
Everyone has a secret...and each character has bombshells revealed sporadically throughout.

The ending is wickedly delicious.

I’ve read all of Shari Lapena’s suspense novels (except her last one, which I plan to make right soon), and I have loved all of them.

If you enjoy books with: shite people who are fun to read about, multiple suspects, and multiple motives...READ THIS!

Now available from Pamela Dorman Books. I thank my local library for providing me with a copy through the drive-up window. 🤣
