A gripping novel of family secrets from the New York Times-bestselling author of The Babysitter, hailed as "the new Mary Higgins Clark and J.D. Robb" (Urban Book Reviews).

HATRED LEADS TO OBSESSION . . .
It's taken time for the plan to unfold, years spent waiting, watching, hating. And after the first victim, the killing gets easier and easier . . .

OBSESSION LEADS TO JEALOUSY . . .
The Crissmans, owners of Crissman & Wolfe department store, were once one of Portland's most powerful families. There's still enough fortune left to sow mistrust between Lucy, her bohemian sister Layla, their brother Lyle, and his grasping wife Kate. When a charity event at the Crissman Lodge ends in a fatal poisoning, Lucy becomes a prime suspect. But the truth is even more twisted, and Lucy can't be sure which of her family is being targeted . . . or who to fear.

AND JEALOUSY LEADS TO MURDER . . .
Renowned defense attorney Dallas Denton has been hired to clear Lucy's name, unaware of the secret that ties them together or of the deep cracks in the Crissman legacy. Someone is ready to eliminate every obstacle to get what they most covet, and prove that envy runs deeper
than blood . . .

It has been a long while since I have read anything from this author. Thus, when I had the chance to pick up a copy of this book, I thought now is a good time to read this author again. The story started out fine. It had some build up in intensity. However, my issue was not truly with the story itself. Although, the lack of intensity and a slow pace didn't help. No, my issue was with the characters. There was nothing interesting about them. In fact, I found the characters to be one dimensional, which was a turn off. After getting a third of the way into the story; I did jump ahead and found after reading some more that I had no interest in finishing the book. ( )

Review of Advance Reader’s Edition

Crissman and Wolfe, at one time a thriving Portland department store, is on the verge of collapse and the once-powerful Crissman family seems to have whole-heartedly embraced vicious backbiting and mean-spiritedness as they struggle to keep the family business going. Jealousy, mistrust, and animosity make for strained relationships within the dysfunctional family and, for most of them, unseemly self-centeredness is their default attitude. Abbott Crissman, patriarch of the clan, rules the family with an iron fist, keeping son Lyle and daughters Layla and Lucy . . . and their families . . . in line with his dictatorial decrees.

But things take a turn for the worse when the family hosts a charity event and Lucy’s husband, John, is fatally poisoned. Because their strained marriage was common knowledge, Lucy is likely to become the prime suspect in his murder; she knows she needs to find some answers. But the truth is far more convoluted than Lucy could ever imagine, and may hold secrets more devastating than her own . . . secrets that could cost her everything.

The characters in this tale are realistically-drawn and believable; their growth over the course of the narrative is a strength of the story. As the suspense grows, tensions mount and the compelling, twisty plot, with its unexpected reveals, keeps the pages turning. The mystery is first-rate and readers will be kept guessing until the final unforeseen reveal that is sure to come as a stunning surprise.

Highly recommended. ( )
