Oh, what a deliciously wicked mystery. The book starts with the murdered bodies of Fred and Sheila Merton. It’s the Tuesday after Easter; an Easter that was a contentious family gathering. Fred is such a nasty man, I would have wanted to do him in. And his wife was the total wuss, letting him get away with all his nastiness. So the question is, who murdered them? One of his three children that he psychologically tortured, especially at that last dinner? His sister? Or someone else?
As you would expect when dealing with rich parents, the will quickly rises to the forefront. This mystery doesn’t break new ground, but it does a great job traveling the familiar path. With each chapter and new information revealed, Lapena kept me guessing who might have been behind the murders. Everyone is lying about something. While the siblings and their spouses start off as a united front, that doesn’t last long. I loved how the characters all suspect each other, even spouses. It just goes to show how little we really know those nearest and dearest to us.
This was just great entertainment. It’s a book I wanted to find as many hours a day as possible to listen to. I tore through it. I had no clue who committed the murders. Such a great ending!
Ellen Marcher narrated and did a great job.
