Rachel Paris comes blazing onto the scene with this pulse pounding, whodunnit crime thriller. Knowing that this is her debut novel is a guarantee that I will be coming back for more!
Told between alternating POV’s over the course of 10 days, the amount of action that takes place will leave you breathless. First, we are introduced to Skye Turner who is married to David Turner. She has married into a generationally wealthy family. There are three brothers who have inherited their father’s business and fortune. Next, we meet Detective Mei O’Conner. (She was probably my favorite character.) Part train wreck, part hard ass 100% real.
Beginning on Good Friday, the Turner family was having a get together at the family compound. When you have a family of wealthy individuals, it’s hard to imagine the number of secrets and lies that are hidden behind closed doors. While the three brothers, Duncan, Hugo and Jamie seem close, none of the spouses are close. It is as if each household is isolated. Things went wrong quickly in what seemed to be a food poisoning incident. However, when one spouse is declared dead, and one child is on life support due to arsenic poisoning; the mighty Turner family begins to splinter.
Detective Mei O’Conner is called into the investigation, and immediately red flags are flying. Because of the wealth and pull this family has, things must be kept quiet. Everyone around this investigation wants it to close quickly. Things need to be wrapped up neatly, but the evidence isn’t aligning. The more questions Mei asks, the more suspicious the members of the Turner empire become.
This is a claustrophobic, unpredictable, must-read psychological thriller with a banger of an ending. Do not miss this!
